All the family learning French 🇨🇵

Visible to anyone in the world
Edited by Gill Burrell, Sunday, 26 Dec 2021, 00:17

Something really great happened to me this week.
My eldest son who lives in a nearby town, and  who has learned French at school GCSE level,  began to talk to me, and has texted me in French every day! 

This is really helping me to keep in touch with the French language, while studying English. It helps us both because he is learning to improve his French,  while I am trying to improve on level 2  French at the same time. 

I never knew that taking this DegreeCourse would encourage my own children to be interested in learning a language too. This is a bonus!

I am reminded of what my aunt once said to me;

" When you educate a women, you educate a family"
This is certainly turning out to be true!

Hi Gill

That is fantastic  ! It is always a bonus when you are able to converse on a daily basis especially with family.  l would think that the more you converse with the  everyday  conversation and texting,  the more formal parts of  language would become easier to learn.

have a great weekend
