La Neige

LA NEIGE = the snow

(la NAYZH)*

At my house here in Canada, the ground is covered with a white layer of snow. Though the days have started to get longer, there are many more snowy days ahead of us yet this winter!

Here is some more snowy winter vocabulary to use as you enjoy the season:

boule de neige ( bool duh NAYZH)* = snowball

bonhomme de neige (buhNUM duh NAYZH)* = snowman

*zh = g in beige or s in usual. Please note that these pronunciation guides give only a rough approximation of the real French sound.
