C'est parti ! Bonjour et Bienvenue ! Dire Bonjour ! - Saying Hello ! Bonjour ! Hello ! Bienvenue ! Welcome ! Salut ! Hi ! Or Bye ! (used for both!) Coucou ! Hi !

Je joue I play Cache-cache Hide and seek je joue à cache-cache – I play hide and seek Je suis3 fatigué ! I'm tired ! 1 Unfortunately, every noun in French is either masculine or feminine! Un (a) and le (the) are the masculine articles, Une (a) and la (the) are the feminine. Des (some) and les (the) are the plural forms. Although spelling can sometimes help decide whether a noun is masculine or feminine, you really just have to learn them as you go along. Sorry. 2 J'ai = I have. Tu as = You have. This is the verb avoir (to have). We'll be seeing this verb a lot ! 3 Je suis = I am. Tu es = you are. This is the verb être (to be). We'll be seeing this one lots too ! Bonjour ! Bonne nuit ! Saying goodnight or hello to familiar objects and people with your child can be a soothing activity to transition into or from sleep. It can also be a great language activity for little ones ! If your child is already familiar with this « game », try to translate the words you normally use into French. If not, take a look around your child's bedroom and see what kind of things you could say goodnight to en français ! It's a great exercise to get parents remembering some French vocabulary (and using that dictionary if all else fails!). Here are a few basic words to get you started : La maison the house La porte the door La fenêtre the window Le lit the bed La chaise the chair La chambre the bedroom Les livres (le livre) the books Les jouets the toys Toddler Talk – On y va ! Let's go ! S'il te plaît ! Please Merci ! Thank you Bravo ! Well done C'est super ! That's great Doucement ! Slowly/Gently Attention ! Careful Viens ici s'il te plaît. Come here please Assieds-toi. Sit down. Lève-toi. Stand up. Attends. Wait. Tu as fini ? Have you finished ? Tu as faim ? Are you hungry ? Tu veux … Would you like to … manger ? eat ? jouer ? play ? Tu es fatigué ? Are you tired ? Dors bien ! Sleep well !
