The Language Barrier.

Here at the house this week we have the following: a house keeper who speaks Russian and French, a mom who speaks French and English, a friend who speaks German, English and some French, and an au pair who speaks English, a bit of Spanish, and is learning French (that's me).

I am understanding more and more everyday, and often I would like to respond in French to practice, but I know I am supposed to speak only English with the kids. I listened to a French song on my iPod today and I found that I could translate quite a bit of the song. He was singing slowly, but still... progress.
