promo-wordoftheweekHosted by Bernard St-Laurent, C’est la vie is a wonderful show on CBC radio that gives listeners a window into the life of French-speaking Canadians through interviews with people in the news and documentaries from across the country.

One of the program’s most popular features is Word of the Week, a little lesson in learning the French language. At the end of each episode, St-Laurent and Johanne Blais, the show’s resident “Word Lady” discuss a French word and its usage. It is a window into the life of French-speaking Canadians – one word at a time.
