It’s also a great way to develop friendship !

Here are three girls helping  to prepare a meal, one is French, one is American, one is Brazilian.

Immersion activities : a French meal

The classroom is equipped for all sorts of activities, it is here that children find  art materials and everything for manual creations.

Interactions between children of different nationalities help them to become more confident.

Manual creative activities keep the children contentrated and relaxed at the same time, a wide range of vocabulary is used during the activities.

manual and creative activities

Musical activities and songs are one of the most enjoyable ways to learn a new language ! This applies also to adults !

A very special French lesson : create your Chocolates

If the child is already a good reader of his native language, he or she  will generally understand quite quickly the differences between the two languages.

But if the child  is not yet  a good reader, which can be quite normal at this age, he or she  may struggle to learn to read French !

- How can you read a language you do not understand ?

- How can you read a language when you do not exactly know how to pronounce the sounds ? When you can’t yet hear the subtle differences between several sounds ?

A little help is often welcome.

Here are a few experiences I’d like to share (short videos)

French vowels : easy to pronounce ?

Reading and Pronouncing French : first syllables

Reading French : first words

Personal advice : I believe a child should be able to read his or her native language. When possible, try to find a way for your children to be taught reading their native language, even if it does not seem to be a priority when you arrive in France. This will also help them with their French !

Tous les enfants sont rentrés en classe, certains pour la toute première fois en France, d’autres dans une nouvelle école, d’autres enfin dans la même école.

Tous ont repris la classe avec enthousiasme , tous ont progressé en Français pendant l’été.

Les professeurs des écoles ont remarqué les progrès !  Les cahiers se remplissent de “points verts”.

Les enfants ont le sourire :-)

Alors les parents ont le sourire :-))

Et donc Isabelle a le sourire aussi :-)))
