Continuing on with French

 
My last post was a few years ago.  It's been a busy time. We moved out of state and after two years at the Lycée, I finally realized it was up to me to keep the girls up on their French.  The interesting thing is, I improved my own French in the most dramatic way during this same two year period.  I'd had 6 years of French (beginning in 7th grade), followed by four years in college, and a six month semester at the University of Paris.  Clearly, living in Paris was the ultimate learning experience.  However, upon my return to the States I very quickly realized the change in my comprehension once I immersed myself in French music.  It was a profound difference.  At the Lycée music is a huge part of the children's curriculum at all ages.  This is not only for building language skills but equally for cultural emphasis. 
 
So we now listen to French music regularly.  I have scoured so many sources (including the internet) for my favorite songs and created lyric scripts so we can sing along.  I'll be sharing many of these songs here so if you are also learning French, check back and listen to some great music while you learn. 
 
I have so much passion for this language...it really moves me.
