放鬆 D 心情啦 ! 我的情況和 Jackie 一樣, 中學時 take 過 French, 分別在於 Jackie 讀 Marymount, 我讀 Maryknoll, 雖則係姊妹學校, 但係我諗基本上沒有多大分別掛... 果陣時, 我全屋企都沒有一個人讀過, 都係沒有人可以教到我, 不過, 教的都係由 basic 開始, 好容易上口, 唔駛太緊張架 ! 你過於緊張的話, 只會無意中比到壓力你的小朋友架咋 ! :-) |

實在很羨慕妳們讀名校,有法文學,可以自己教小朋友法文,謝謝妳們的分享! Forgot to ask you how is your French now. Still very fluent? How can you keep it. And in what age your school provided Frency lesson (primary or secondary school)? Thanks. |

Dear agoodfox, Thank you for your advise. My son is 7-1/2 years old and learning the French. I know nothing about French. Last week, he got the white paper in dictation. I feel so bore. May I know any VCD for beginning of French. Is it like the phonic in English? Thank you very much!! |

Dear HEE, BBC has published a set of videos (2 VHS) named "Salut Serge" which is quite good for beginners (both kids and adults). I can't remember the price but it's not expensive. As for pronunciation, French is quite different from English. For example, both French and English have the same words : "pain" (means "bread" in French), "attention", they are pronounced very differently. From my experience, SONGS can help a lot. I wonder if you know there is a French bookstore in Wellington Street, Central. The name is "Parenthese". You can find many books, tapes and CDs there but the prices are quite high. Mostly I prefer ordering from Amazon.fr (French website). BTW, where does your child learn French? |

Hi Applepie, The Hong Kong Institute of Languages in Central has French lessons for 3 yr-olds. I've browsed the website but I don't know anyone studying there. http://www.hklanguages.com/mmm/hkil/index.jsp?id=699&TL=94#CE1 For enquiries, pls. call Natalie at 2877 6160 www.hklanguages.com/mmm/hkil/index.jsp?id=699&TL=94#CE1 |

Dear agoodfox, I really thank you for your (actually all the mum)'s help!! I try to browse the Amazon.fr but I know nothing about French! agoodfox, do you think it's the same which I can find in Parenthese? Thank you very much!! |

Dear HEE, Stuff in Parenthese and Amazon.fr are mostly "French made". They have many "common" products. I would suggest you visit the local bookstore first, take a look at what they have. You may find one or two items suitable for your kid. They have English speaking staff, most of the time Cantonese speaking too :mrgreen: . You may ask them to suggest some items. They can even order for you the items they don't have (I did once before .... very helpful). But if you want to order a lot of items, it's more economical to order online (Shipping : Euro dollars 1.9 per item + Euro dollars 13 per shipment). Ah...... you may also try the local online bookstore paddyfield.com. They have French learning stuff too. |

I've checked amazon.com and they have some teaching materials (CD + story books) for babies and children. Have ordered 2 sets (songbook and story book) and waiting for the shipment, will recommend to you after using it. Meanwhile may I ask where is the exact location of "Parenthese" bookstore in Central? |
