New basic French curriculum

learnables

I just purchased this curriculum for learning basic French with the kids.  We’ve used a couple of programs in the past including an in-home tutor and Rosetta Stone.  This program came highly recommended so hoping we have a good experience with it.  My ultimate goal is to immerse us in the French culture for extended stays.

My parents leave for Paris

My parents travel to the lovely city of Paris today on a missions trip with their church.  I’m not exactly sure what they will be doing.  A little sight-seeing will be included, but that’s not really their goal.

We’ve been laughing at them practicing some common French phrases.  My parents are about as deep-south as you can get, so their southern accents intermixed with French inflection is just hilarious.  Look out, Paris!  Here come fried chicken and mashed potatoes..
