ToutCanadien a besoin de votre appui, n’hésitez pas à contribuer à tout temps !

ToutCanadien needs your support, don't hesitate to contribute at any time!

The base information offered on this site is free. I believe you shouldn't have to pay to learn the heritage language you were robbed of at some point in time in your family's history. That would be like adding insult to injury as they say.  Nonetheless, the host of this site doesn't necessarily share those same sentiments and there is a cost involved in keeping this site live.

If you would like to do your part, please consider what this site is worth to you by making a donation in your name or the name of someone else. I will need to know if you would like the name posted on line as a contributor or not. (Amounts will not be posted.)

Aux amis francophones :  Vous n'avez jamais appris aux enfants la langue de Molière et maintenant vous le regrettez ?  Il n'est jamais trop tard.  Vous avez maintenant cet outil, ce site accompagné de votre sagesse, votre prononciation, votre temps et votre patience.  Si vous voudriez faire une contribution au nom d'un enfant, d'un petit-enfant ou de toute jeune personne que vous comptez aider en utilisant mon site, je la recevrai avec immense gratitude.  De toute façon, ne manquez pas la chance de partager notre langue et notre patrimoine avec les jeunes.

Un gros merci !

  Dedication ♦ Dédicace

 

Dedicated to the members of the Tremblay Family who have lost the language of Mémé and Pépé Dédié aux membres de la Famille Tremblay qui ont perdu la langue de Mémé et Pépé Les Éboulements, Québec Septembre 2009

Notre-Dame-de-l'Assomption Paroisse ancestrale des Tremblay

 

Ironically, the words "Mémé" and "Pépé" are much more commonly used in France than Quebec, but that's how we affectionately referred to my grandparents.  "Mémère" and "Pépère" are what you'll often hear in French Canada. jacques tremblay
