French colours song (The Rainbow song)

April 21, 2015 by Katie 5 Comments

French colours song (The Rainbow song)

Recently, I wrote a post about learning colors in French. Here is a fun song, Arc-en-ciel, (or Rainbow in English)  that incorporates the colors. See how many of the color vocabulary from last time you can pick out in the lyric. I've included both the French and English lyrics below so this is a great way to help yourself or your kids practice colors, other vocabulary and pronunciation.  Warning: This song is super fun and will get stuck in your … [Read more...]

Our European Inspired Urban Farm: April 2015

Our European Inspired Urban Farm: April 2015

Springtime has arrived; however, since we currently reside in the Southwest, it will stay for about five whole minutes and then be replaced with several months of oppressive heat. I don't mind the summers here though; we travel often and being avid swimmers, we enjoy many an afternoon and evening in our  remodeled pool and outdoor living area. April is usually the month we start deciding on the new year travel destinations, and also on what we … [Read more...]

Les Couleurs…Learn how to say colors in French

This year, when we started weekly lessons with our new French tutor, one thing was different...my two youngest daughters, ages 4 and 8 were now joining in the fun.  My eldest daughter already had some French lessons under her belt, but this is the first time we are doing any formal French learning with her younger sisters. Of course, they are starting, as most people do...with simple greetings, colors, numbers and the like. This past week they … [Read more...]

Finding a French Tutor

March 7, 2015 by Katie Leave a Comment

Finding a French Tutor

Previously, I had decided that 2014 was going to be the year that I really learned French. And for the most part, I  have made a lot of progress, but not necessarily in practice. My vocabulary and reading skills definitely improved but not my pronunciation or conversational skills, because I wasn't taking my own advice. I was learning, but in a bit of a bubble, and I was lacking confidence. It was time to get more one on one instruction … [Read more...]

The City of Love

 Paris, the City of Love.   Valentine's Day has come and gone. Did you partake in chocolates?   Paris Chocolate Shop   Or perhaps your amour surprised  you with flowers?   Or maybe you were the recipient of jewels?   Cartier Jewelers,  Champs-Élysees  or perhaps a quiet dinner with a decadent dessert?   Whatever you did, however you celebrated, I hope your day was full … [Read more...]

Sage Sausage and Duck Egg Frittata

Sage Sausage and Duck Egg Frittata

I almost never eat meat or dairy. My family calls me a "Chegan" (cheating vegan), because while I rarely eat meat or dairy, sometimes I do so there it is. My family on the other hand loves to eat everything and their love language is food, so no matter what state my eating habits, in my kitchen, I'm cooking everything, all the time. This frittata recipe is my own take on an old sausage and potato frittata recipe I found when Darcy and I first … [Read more...]

Nous sommes Charlie…

Nous sommes Charlie…

I have pondered throughout this past week about whether to write a post regarding the terrorist attacks in France: The attack on the offices of Charlie Hebdo magazine which left 12 dead on Wednesday, the killing of a female police officer the following day, and the attack on a Kosher supermarket in which four more died. There are so many other political and news sites who could do it justice better than I, and there are other bloggers who … [Read more...]
