lire oui oui � son enfant, même en VF, ça demande de toute manière de la patience !

So cute…I don’t know if you’ve read David Sedaris’s Me Talk Pretty One Day, but it’s a hilarious book partially about his moving to France and trying to learn the language. He says, “I wish I could just go back and start over as a French baby.”

I’d love to hear from you, or any of you, how exactly you get started raising a bilingual child. We’re a bilingual house too.

The joys of being ‘bilingue,’ of course.

Then again, no mistaking ‘bugger,’ ‘merde’ or ‘Le Big Mac.’

Loved this story! It reminded me of a day, not long after I had moved to New Zealand, where I was trying to explain to someone that the very first book I read was Yes Yes. Yes Yes and the yellow taxi to be precise. It took us a while to understand each other I thought Noddy was a great name.

Make way for Noddy, Noddy, ti da da da da da…

Rachel – I don’t think a lot of Noddy either and absolutely no offence taken whatsoever!

The most puzzling thing at first was that the Noddy book she has is in English. It would seem the childminder has borrowed Noddy books in French from the children’s library…
