Parlez-vous français?

No? Yeah, me either!  We're going on month 4 of attempting to teach ourselves French...  Let's just say even after the teacher in me came out and took over our house....

Yep, everything is labeled!
Phoentically, too. Can you tell I teach kindergarten?
Clothing labels in the closet!
...our skills are still very minimal.  The debated pronunciation of "bag" is nothing compared to the pronunciation of French words.  Nothing sounds like it looks and just when you think you've got it figured out, you realize when people speak fluent French they leave off about 2 more sounds per word than you've been practicing with CDs.

People say immersion is the best way to learn...let's hope so cuz it's sink or swim in T-minus 6 weeks!!!
