When Kaitlyn woke up this morning and asked to watch TV, our new plan to help her speak French went into action. Bill turned on the same movie she just watched last night with her friends… but this time in French.
I don’t know that Kaitlyn is a fan of this new plan, although she didn’t complain.
I tried watching for a while. The movie was Nos Voisins Sont Les Hommes … Over the Hedge. (the literal translation is Our Neighbors are Men) They talk fast. Really fast. You don’t realize when you watch a movie in English just how fast they are talking. I caught a word here and there, but I only understood one sentence. Qu’est-ce que tu fais? What are you doing? It’s a handy sentence to know with a small child. Or husband.
I think we’re going to have to find something slower that we can watch to help our French.
