French the natural way: get used to it!

  1. Congratulations Alice! It’s wonderful you have brought new life into the world =)

    Alice, do you think it is better to try to acquire 2 languages together, or should I simply try to saturate my brain with French and then move on to German? I feel like I gone through your website at least 10x eating everything my brain can absorb, I have watched the babystage videos several times over and I can’t seem to find anything online that is silly but engaging such as Extr@ or telefrancais, and I have read about all I can understand on the Great Story Reading Project, I don’t want to keep going over the same material as I will get bored quickly and lose interest.

    Of course no one would expect you to post any new material while you are adjusting to sleepless night as I’m sure we have all experienced with raising children =). So do you think it is a wise move to start with German also, or do you think 2 languages at once can overload the brain?

    Many many congratulations to you and your family once again!!

    1. Coucou Andy,

      First of all congratulations on absorbing all the French you can! Your motivation is amazing! Have you been reading all the stories on the membership? There are hundreds of them which you can search by entering key words in the search box like “tale”, “fable”, “easy”… I think you can now try the “intermediate” stories as you would understand them fairly well. The weekly suggestions give you a new story for each day of the week https://www.aliceayel.com/suggestions/ Have you also listened to all the audio books https://www.aliceayel.com/audiobooks-les-livres-audio/

      There are more Baby Stage sessions coming as the goal is to reach 30 sessions in total and then move on to the Infant Stage.

      As for your question about moving on German, you can do it of course! It all depends on the time you have to dedicate to both languages. I tried to acquire German and Portuguese at the same time but could not keep up so I chose to first become fluent in German. You can try and see how it goes. Some people do it and some others prefer to go one language at a time. It would be great to know your experience about it. let us know! Thank YOU again! Happy Languages acquisition!
