Ever since I majored in anthropology in college, I have always been interested in seeing how people express their cultural roots. So this little tidbit on french cultural caught my interest.
Parents who want their youngsters to "Parler Francaise." head to the French Institute Alliance Française. The institute offers a variety of classes and programs for children in french. Now zealous moms can start the process of creating a little francophile before they are born. The Institute is now offering a series of classes for moms-to-be. They describe the classes as "Using multisensory techniques to kick start your petit chow's french through songs activities, and French food. Each meeting focuses on a unique cultural aspects of french child rearing and includes lullabies and relaxation time. So upon arrival new moms can talk to their newborn in french, fix french recipes and dress baby in the french way. Classes start September 29 at the French Institute Alliance Française - 22 East 60th Street, NYC . Visit http://www.fiaf.org/frenchclasses/app-mothers-to-be.shtml or call 212 355 6100.
