Hello,


I am looking for any French parents locally who would like to do playdates in French or else know of any French baby activities.


I am English and my husband is French, and we have a 9 month old son. I speak to my son in English and my husband speaks to him in French. When we are together as a family, we all speak French (I am fluent albeit with a strong English accent and grammatical errors!) However I am quite conscious that during the day, my son hears only English conversations when I take him out and about. It would be lovely if there are any other French (or half French babies like him) that he could also hear the to and fro of conversations happening in French during the day.


If there are a few French and French speaking mothers and babies it would be great to have a regular meet up each week for play and conversation, perhaps rotating houses.


Get in touch if you are interested or in a similar bilingual situation!

Bonsoir!


I run French language story & singing sessions in the area for ages five and under and their parent/carer.


We have class on Mondays at 11:30 am at Punk Me Up (Dulwich/Peckham), Thursdays at 10:15 am at effraspace (Herne Hill/Brixton) and Fridays 10:30 am at John Harvard Library (Borough/Bermondsey).

Hello


Just to piggy back on this conversation, I have a seven month old daughter who we are looking to bring up bilingual in French and English. I am English and my husband is French, but unfortunately I don't speak French (I'm learning very slowly!) and as I'm the primary carer I fear my daughter's progress is going to be rather slow. Does anyone have recommendations for a good French baby sitter who could look after and speak to my daughter for a couple of hours a week?


Many thanks


(and will check out les petits tigres!)

Hi Lucy!

    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse 
    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.   
    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
