- Learning French for Kids
I saw this while walking by a bookstore the other day in Cairo. I don’t recall the kids in South Park speaking French, but I imagine Kenny can jump from his native English to fluent French and Arabic without any problems. Around the corner was a book in Arabic with the faces of Hitler, bin Laden, and Bill Gates on the cover. I’m not entirely sure what that was about.
Can’t wait to have my own personal translator here to fill me on all that I am clearly missing in the written Arabic word.
Your translator had better get busy studying. So far, all I know is rabbit, mountain, jam, grapes, and peace be upon you. Not sure how far that will get us unless we find ourselves in some sort of fantastic picnic situation with a special rabbit on a mountain adventure. I will try to work on learning something useful before my trip!
