A shock...

[CleoQc]

Wow... I'm speechless

My French speaking daugther has started writing a chapter book.. in English... on MS Word... She's got 5 pages already, single space, with paragraphs and everything! :scared:

Ok she's the one who told me one day she wanted to draw a comic book. And she did. All 12 sheets of it ( 24 pages!) But that's because she's an artist who draws all the time. She's always shied away from the written word. So to see her WRITE like that is a shock.. And that she chose to use English even more so!!!

I really feel like an alien came to our house and took over her body or something like that...

Reading this made me so happy....there is hope for all bilingual children.

Currently,we are in Colombia and my dd is still insisting that she only speaks ingles. Never mind that she says it in Spanish!

:lol::001_smile: Your dd and mine are long lost sisters. Is she still dancing or doing something physical, too?

Hmm, let me think.. 20 hours of gym per week, does that count ? :)

A traitor. :tongue_smilie:
(That's what - jokingly - I tell my girls when I see them writing in English.)

On a more serious note - this is great. :)

Oh but you're so right... A traitor indeed, when you consider that both my ancestors and DH's ancestors fought the English, and lost. Dh's ancestor was from Acadia and was deported to Louisiana. He WALKED back here. My ancestors were in Quebec city with Montcalm against Wolfe. France let us down to get peace.

Sigh... It's hard at times to be a conquered people..

:iagree: , (sighing in commiseration) My mother's side all came from Iceland, and they were conquered & governed by the Danes for a long, long time.
