Hi Iaetta and other French enthusiasts! I'm someone who has been learning French for only 11 months and doing what I can to teach and expose it to my nearly 3 year old daughter. I have been to the Tingalingo classes and even though they advertise to English speakers, French people can be known to go also. This is because the whole class is in French and she never speaks in English unless you want to ask her some questions in English afterwards. They do songs, story telling, dancing and a craft activity all in French. It is really great but it is all over in half an hour. This is the link for the locations: http://www.tingalingo.com/book-a-class There is a French speaking mothers group. It is in West Norwood. It is confusing because yes there is a place called Cadet Rouselle in Herne Hill which is a nursery and also looks after toddlers and is fee based. The actual mother group is 3 pounds only, and is in Norwood park on Monday mornings between 9:45-11:45. It is strictly for French speaking people only who can speak french the whole time. I went but my french was not good enough. I don't think it is open for much longer. Actually it maybe only to the end of this month. Maybe if more people knew about it, it could stay open longer. It definitely is happening throughout june. This is their number: 0755 401 0791 This is the website for the french mother group. http://www.cadetrousselle.co.uk/ I would love to meet with yourself or others but I still have a lot to learn with French. But I would love to surround my daughter and myself with French as I know that is how we will expand. I read her stories in French, say phrases throughout the day, sing many French nursery rhymes (Im a singing and piano teacher) and she watches animations mostly in French. So I'm doing all I can and would love to hear from other interested people.
