21.01.2022 My 7 year old’s first attempt at creating a BD (bande dessinée- French for ‘comic strip’) Félicitations if you can decipher it!

17.01.2022 So as school goes back this week and homeschooling comes to an end I've had some helpful insights into beginner French learning from my 5 year old son. As I was helping him learn to read tricky French words with those pesky silent letters at the end (riz, est, vos etc!) he kept asking me why those letters were even there if they didn't need to be pronounced. Such a good question...and one I couldn't answer. To a 5 yr old, it made no sense to put a letter at the end of a word if you didn't need it!

11.01.2022 Bonne fête nationale My boys made this Lego representation of me holding the ‘tricolore’!

09.01.2022 If you've ever felt confused about the French custom of "la bise" (kissing as a greeting) then you should watch this! I'm sure many people have embarrassing stories of getting "la bise" wrong in a social situation...but like a language mistake it's all part of the fun of learning. https://www.france24.com//20191009-french-kissing-culture-

09.01.2022 Calling today's celebration Bastille Day is one of the most touristy mistakes you can make when travelling in France. The French refer to July 14 as "la Fête Nationale" or "le Quatorze Juillet". Bastille Day is actually an English term rarely used in France except by tourists

07.01.2022 Désolée pour le silence radio...just like Paris shuts down in August, so too this page has been very quiet lately! Here are some hilarious 'lost in translation' photos to give you a good belly laugh - #30 is the French one. Someone thought 'stair' was a verb http://thelanguagenerds.com/40-hilarious-translation-fail/

07.01.2022 As a child I loved reading Enid Blyton's 'The Magic Faraway Tree' series, so I wanted to buy them in French to read to my boys. I managed to find a copy from 1993 from the French used books store RecycLivre. The literal translation of this French title is 'The tree that frolics'.

05.01.2022 Leave it to the French to find creative ways of going on strike! https://www.france24.com//20200117-france-pension-reform-p

05.01.2022 Covid-19 has created a whole new lexicon, and one of the funniest new French words I've come across is "lundimanche" - a combination of 'lundi' and 'dimanche' to sum up that feeling when you're not sure what day it is coz every day runs into the next.

04.01.2022 Sacré fromage! A soufflé allegedly made with English cheddar, quelle horreur https://www.theguardian.com//a-bout-with-souffle-chefs-fig

04.01.2022 My elder son’s end of school year reflections - my work with his French education is done!

02.01.2022 These facts about bilingualism have been true for our family over the past (nearly)8 years that we've been living out the 'bilingual experiment'.

01.01.2022 So I've been thinking for a while now that I should consider changing my business name to 'French Avec Zoom', seeing as I can't actually teach students "chez moi" at the moment. Meanwhile, news reports say that the French are struggling with "le confinement"...after all, this is the nation that has "liberté" in their national motto
