Just a quick trip out to Verdun to drop Doris off for some volunteering, then back to Pointe-Saint-Charles while the baby napped on the seat before we went to Costco. The first attempt and success of a Costco run on the Yuba. After filling the fridge with the spoils from Costco, we went back to Verdun to meet Doris, have lunch and return home.

En tant que francophone, je trouve qu'on est trop critique des accents que certains peuvent avoir. L'important, c'est qu'on puisse se comprendre mutuellement et qu'on soutienne ceux qui sont en apprentissage.

Bref, on peut parler un excellent français tout en ayant un accent!
