One thought on “Les mots de la semaine

  1. Hello there,
    sorry to be pedantic but it is “la pastille” . As a matter of fact I think that all the words ending in ille are feminine in French (la fille, la famille, la pastille, la grille, etc…, Although I’m sure that some clever clog will come out with an exception to prove me wrong.
    regards
