Sandrine Kiberlain “M’envoyer des Fleurs”

I’ve been learning French recently and I’m terrible. French pronunciation is impossible for me. I don’t know why it can’t be easier like Korean or Chinese. I bought one of those Berlitz language courses about a year ago. I tried to do it for a month. Then I gave up.
A few months ago my husband decided he was going to teach my stepson French as part of his homeschooling. He invited me to join the lessons too. I reluctantly took him up on the offer. Now I’m constantly shown up by a child who seems have perfect French pronunciation. That’s okay. I can handle it. I’m a grown up.
I got a CD from the library. It’s a complication of music by women from various counrties throughtout the world, and Sadrine Kiberlain’s “M’envoyer des Fleurs” was the first song on it. The title means “I send myself flowers” or something like that. Anyway, I like this song a lot. It’s one of my favorites on the CD. I like the sound of her voice and it’s kind of a quirky song. If I learn how to sing it maybe it’ll help my French pronunciation.

As a 19-year-old, I learned to float in the water rather than be shown up by a 12-year-old. She also knew how to swim. I still don’t. All children should be taught a foreign language when they are young. They seem to have a natural affinity for it when they are younger.
You’re right Patricia. It’s important for all children to learn a second language. I wish I had when I was young.
