Oui ou Non???
My daughter Rebecca is very proud of the French she has been learning at school. She likes to say different words, and ask me what they mean. It has been a joy to practise my french as well as watch her learn a new language.
Today as we walked to the bus stop, we had an amusing conversation.
Mommy: Rebecca, we don't have time to throw snowballs right now, how about we hurry so we don't miss the bus, and we can play in the snow after school?
Rebecca: Oui!
Mommy: So you would like that?
Rebecca: Oui! Um...mommy, how do you say 'no' in French?
Mommy: Non. (pronounced NO)
Rebecca: That's not French mom, that just regular.
Mommy: Actually it is French. No in English and Non in French sound the same.
Rebecca: Mommy, if you don't the answer, its okay you can tell me, you don't have to make it up.
