UN PEU ~ A LITTLE
In the beginning of FEETSPEAK’s story, Cinnamon and Anmama meet their new neighbors ~ the Bretons. They are a French family of five (six, counting Rudolf, their dog), who have moved to the United States from the Alsace region of northern France.
Jeanne, the middle child, is learning to speak English, while Cinnamon, who doesn’t speak French relies on Anmama’s ability to speak the language.
Learning another language can be difficult, but it can, also, be a lot of fun. I chose 10 simple French phrases from the story for you to share with others, especially if you know someone who speaks French. It is a very popular language spoken in many countries all over the world.
An exploration of the language, culture, and geography of France are some of the activities included in this Packet.
