Having posted a link earlier in the week to a web page featuring 'le langage enfantin', I decided it might be helpful if I put together a list of all the words I had come accross over recent months. So I have created a page which you can access by the tab at the top of my blog.
I will keep adding to it over time.
As always, if anyone has any suggested additions or amendments, please do let me know either by posting a comment or emailing me at non.native.adventure@gmail.com
Thanks so much for this...I am very happy to discover something new. I wish I had more time to focus on my language training, I feel as if I need to learn French to speak it.
ReplyDeleteChouette! I really like your idea of keeping the running list on your blog. I might have already sent this site to you when we started corresponding, but if not, here's one that's been helpful to me: http://jen.fluxcapacitor.net/babytalk/french.html
ReplyDeleteYour posts about this remind me that when Griffin was born, I started reading a "how to raise your baby" book in French, and I took notes on all the baby-related expressions that were unfamiliar. Now that I'll soon be embarking on another baby adventure, I should pull out that list! (And finish the book.)
By the way, I have also started a new page on my blog aimed at non-native parents like us who are using French with our kiddos. It's a work in progress, but I hope you'll find it helpful!
Hi Sarah
ReplyDeleteThanks for the link - there are some really useful words and phrases on there.
I too have a great baby raising book that's really comprehensive but written in a relaxed and humorous manner. Also, its only small so can fit in a handbag and be pulled out whenever you have a spare five mins. So, if you ever did decide you wanted to buy another such book, I can recommend "Jeune Maman et Paresseuse".
I have had a look at your new page and think it's a fantastic idea and it will be a great resource for me and others. I love that you put so much effort into your blog and into sharing your knowledge and experience with other people.
Thanks for the recommendation! "Relaxed and humorous" sounds like what I need these days.
ReplyDeleteAnd thank you for the feedback--I'm blushing!
