A Tea Party for Deux!

A really fun way to practice greetings and small talk in French is to have your daughter (or son) have a tea party with their stuffed animals. They can say 'bonjour' (hello), 'Comment ça va?' (How's it going?) and other phrases to their stuffed animals or dolls. You can even speak for their dolls by speaking French back to them. My daughter really likes it when I pretend to be her dolls.

If you want to get your son in the action, just make it a real tea party with cookies and milk and I'm sure he'll come to the party and participate!

Here are some more phrases you can use at the tea party:

ça va bien - It's going well

ça va mal - It's going poorly
comme-çi comme ça - so-so
s’il vous plaît - please

merci - thank you

de rien - you're welcome
