“Mais c’est quoi, là?” you say.

Welcome to my website. : ) I created this project to share my love of the English and French languages. Growing up in an English-speaking home, but attending French-language schools, I have spent my life trying to decipher the differences (and similarities!) between ces deux langues.

After completing a B.A. in French literature and a Certificate in French-English translation (McGill University) – and with a year
in between teaching English in Japan – I then ventured off to France to ply my trade as a translator.

Upon returning to Canada three and a half years later, and with a new valise of memories and mots in tow, I began to reflect on how to further share my linguistic interests. And thus, was born Sayquoilà?!

Happy learning!
