Une souris verte qui courait dans l’herbe Une souris verte unfortunately has a bit in common with Alouette (see below) what seems to be a feel-good kids song is actually about killing the little mouse… At least the tune is sweet? There’s honestly nothing more adorable than a kids song about planting cabbage. Warning: Do not watch if you don’t want Christmas jingles stuck in your head all day.ĭing, ding, dong, ding, ding, dong. You’ll notice adults speaking with kids in fully complex ways, not dumbing anything down. The French don’t ‘baby’ kids in the same way people might here in the States. In all seriousness, take note of the myriad of verb tenses used in this comptine: passé composé, conditionnel du passé, futur simple, and impératif. This is for all the future cat ladies out there.
This one is certainly best learned through TV5Monde’s video:Ĭ’est la mère Michel qui a perdu son chat Yet another good one to look at through the eyes of someone who now knows the French language thoroughly!Īux marches du palais Image Credit: Isabelle NicoleĪux marches du Palais is an adorable French princess fairytale story.

In France, this game is called Le facteur n’est pas passé (The Mailman Didn’t Pass By) and, rather than tapping the top of the head of whoever is ‘it,’ you drop a handkerchief on them!

You shape your hand as if you were holding a bottle of water Puits is only defeated by Paper as it lays on top of the opening. Just to be difficult, the French had to throw a wrench in Rock Paper Scissors by adding ‘Puits’ – the pit. Rock Paper Scissors – Pierre-Feuille-Ciseaux-Puits And since the French don’t like to talk about personal information when meeting people, it’s essential to be able to hold conversations about typically French experiences.Ĭlick the links after each word game or rhyme for more resources! Nursery rhymes seem like a silly thing to learn as an advanced student of French, but these are part of the collective pool of knowledge all French speakers share. We started this off with the French Mnemonics posts on the blog – it’s about transferring your knowledge over to its closest French equivalencies to recreate common French experiences that would have shaped you should you have grown up in France. To help figure all this out, it’s great to step back in time and recast your common American experiences into French.

Good point, though sometimes it's hard to arrive to definite conclusions Well, I am a child but I have lost my voice. If I were a child I would like singing and singing that lirycs. Era fácil, sólo tenías que mirar tu espejo.
