This is the day for final preparations. Is everyone ready?
Good weather to welcome us: keep your fingers crossed.
As I promised, while you are sitting and waiting for 4 a.m. to arrive, you can already listen to the Scottish accent and learn about Robert Burns, the famous Scottish poet. My students learned about him in classes at the beginning of the New Year. Do you remember why?
Go to http://www.scotland.org/burns-night/ Click on Burns Interactive. It's really interesting.
Perhaps you can't understand everything, but try to listen for individual words and the general idea. The same invitation goes to the students who are not going to Scotland. Click and listen.
And remember, you can listen MANY times, all night long, if the travellers decide not to go to bed this evening!

all night long = toute la nuit
toute la journée = ?
