Les trucs d'anglais qu'on a oublié de vous enseigner

(Stuff About English They Forgot to Teach You)

 

Quebec City – Publishing house L’instant même announced the official release this week of  Les trucs d’anglais qu’on a oublié de vous enseigner, a collection of fun-to-read articles on the many mysteries and oddities of the English language, written in French for a French-speaking audience.

 

The new book by Grant Hamilton, certified translator and CEO of Anglocom, is in stores now and available for order on line at Amazon.ca, Renaud-Bray, Libraire Pantoute, Mosaïque, Archambault, livresquebecois.com, and Coop zone.

 

The idea for Les trucs d’anglais qu’on a oublié de vous enseigner came from Anglocom's clients, who have consistently asked the same types of English questions over the years. It is a book you pick up and read for a page or two whenever the mood strikes, for the sheer pleasure of learning.
