Hi all
This is my first post so I hope this is what people do!
I'm trying to teach my boys (4&6) a second language (French) and am looking to meet people online who are trying to do the same so as to exchange ideas.
I'm not bilingual but I can speak a little French so I try to have a little conversation with them in the car everyday on the way to school. They also have a small informal class once a week with some friends and a local French mum. I play DVDs in French to them and CDs of songs, which they seem to like. At the moment the older one has a good understanding of French but will only come out with an odd word or two, depending on his mood. The younger one doesn't seem to understand as well and is even more reluctant to speak. I don't want to make it a big deal or a chore so am looking for some fun ideas/activities that we can do together.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
