Ding, d**g! Ring, ring! Can you hear it? That's la cloche β the bell! π Today's Word of the Day is all about the wonderful sounds that get our attention.
La cloche (pronounced lah klosh) is a bell β a simple instrument that makes a clear, bright sound. Bells come in all shapes and sizes, and they serve many purposes, from warning us to celebrating with us.
Where you might find une cloche:
π² Sur un vΓ©lo β on a bike (to let people know you're coming!)
πͺ Γ une porte β on a door (a doorbell to announce visitors)
βͺ Dans une Γ©glise β in a church (calling people to prayer)
π« Γ l'Γ©cole β at school (for the start and end of lessons)
π Pour les fΓͺtes β at Christmas (jingle bells!)
