Today's my birthday--mon anniversaire. The big number this year is 41 . . . not quite as traumatic as the big 4-0h of le 3 octobre 2007.  


Of course, it's only fitting to teach some French birthday vocabulary on this auspicious occasion.  Here are a few useful expressions you can use in a French birthday card:

Bon Anniversaire - Happy Birthday
Joyeux Anniversaire - Happy Birthday
À - to
Pour - for
De - from
Mon cher ______ - My dear (insert boy's name)
Ma chère ______ - My dear (insert girl's name)
Je pense à toi. - I'm thinking of you
Le meilleur reste à venir. - The best is yet to come.

Well, I've got to run!  Time to blow out those birthday bougies:
