At Simi's pre-school, the children in their last year of pre-school get to take French lessons. The day Simi started his French lessons, he excitedly told us about it in the car on the way home. He takes French every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday and each day he tells us about French. But when we ask him what he's learned, he tells us about the sticker he got, or about playing "eeny-meeny-miny-moe". The only thing he ever says in French is that his name is Simon (pronounced something like, "See-mo", with a long o).
Today, the French teacher, Ana, returned my telephone call. We had a great chat about what he's learning in French and how he's doing. Armed with a few vocabulary words and a song, I started saying these French words to Simi (aka: Simon) in the car on the way home today. Suddenly, Simi starts saying these words too! And then he breaks out in French song! And he even sings "eeny-meeny-miny-moe" in French. The kid has been holding out on us!
So, Monseiur Simon will be learning a bit of French at home too now.

I used to take French, because that is one of the languages here in Canada. So, I know a few words, too! I also know verb concepts, names of clothes, food, different kinds of TV shows (like the name for a soap opera, game show, etc), the names for different animals, etc. Glad Simi likes learning French. I did too.
