J'aime / j'aime pas

Great song that teaches how to say I like and  I don't like in French sign language
(N.B. "je n'aime pas" is the officially correct way to say I don't like, but folks say "j'aime pas" LOTS.)

Bonne rentrée! Welcome back!

I am SO excited to see everyone and for our new year together learning FRENCH! I spent a week this July in Danvers, Massachusetts at a spectacular language teachers's conference. In the mornings we were students in a Russian class and in the afternoons we learned how we could apply the skills used by our Russian teacher in our own teaching. I am SO jazzed to share.

My goal in class this year is to speak understandably in French and to do so for 90% of class time. The students's job is to

Listen with respect with the intent to understand.

Here's an adorable video of a two year old showing Dad his eyes, ears, nose etc. and counting.

Enjoy!
