“La Toyota est une voiture japonaise!”
“La Chevrolet est une voiture américain!”
“La Peugeot est une voiture français!”
Repeat the above French sentences about foreign cars, with authority (!), over and over again while he’s trying to fold laundry, unload the dishwasher, and carry heavy objects.
We came across an old set of tapes during one of our spring cleaning escapes a few weeks ago. The tapes, with handily come with a compact French English dictionary, are supposed to teach you elementary French from the comfort of your home, office or vehicle...ahem, make that “voiture.”
Feeling the need to brush up on my Grade 13 French, I’ve now got tape number one in my car’s cassette player and I’ve already learned how to count to 12, how to add simple combinations of numbers, and how to say window, door, telephone, bells, violin, piano, and car, all during one trip to Sobey’s for some cauiflower! All in French!
Paris here I come!

I hardly think of spring cleaning as an "escape." More of an "I got caught trying to escape, so here's your punishment!"
Crap. I meant "escapade" as in "piece of reckless behaviour," which I suppose isn't really appropriate either.
Oh well. Je suis domage.
Hey Melanie
I was just talking to Jolanta yesterday and we were talking about her dd going to french immersion school and I said you did take french in school but I didn't thing you practiced on it now. Really weird!
