The French Touch

La Jolie Bulle is a bilingual setting where children are mainly spoken to in French.

It has been a very successful journey as children attending La Jolie Bulle become bilingual rapidly, first of all by understanding what is being said to them, moving on to saying simple words in French such as: ‘les nuages’, ‘le soleil’, ‘la mer’, as well as short sentences or full conversations.

Simple work sheets have been specifically created to encourage understanding and vocabulary growth. The aim is to keep it fun for children, so we start with topics that they really enjoy such as animals, food, toys and then build on to subjects such as what we do on a daily and basis or ways to express how we feel.
