How to use this song with your child

1. 1

   Make “bonjour” the word of the day

   This song repeats “bonjour” (good morning) on 9 lines. Use it once or twice during the day outside the song, and let your child correct you if you get it wrong.

2. 2

   Pause between the call and the answer

   The song moves back and forth between English and French. On a second listen, pause after an English line and let your child try the French answer before the song sings it.

3. 3

   A quick one: try it with an activity

   At 1:15 it's short enough to play twice in a row. Act it out with two soft toys: one says the French line, the other answers.
