Why It's Better to Listen and Learn French Songs Not all language teachers believe that written materials should be introduced early. In fact, some of them believe it's a distraction from learning the language and that students are better served by materials that encourage them to listen and learn French. Where French songs are concerned, using sheet music presents another problem entirely. Students who learn French in a classroom...more
Why is it Boring to Learn French in the Classroom? The first two things to clarify about why it's sometimes boring to learn French in the classroom are that it's not your teacher's fault and that it's not because French is a boring language.

The Value of Songs in the French Classroom If you imagine a world where speaking and reading are chores, you've got a good idea of what most language classes prepare you for. Learning a new language should be fun and it should never be lost on the students that they're learning something that most people never bother to take on. One way to make it a lot more fun to listen and learn French is to introduce music. Art and music are hugely important in the French culture and language classes should teach appreciation for the culture as well as the language.Helping students to learn French fast sometimes means you have to give them a significant challenge to keep their brains engaged. French songs are a great way to do this. Songs, being poetry set to music, encourage students to grasp the imaginative and expressive capacities of the language they're learning, which helps them to appreciate its value more than they would otherwise. When students learn French in classroom settings, they too often engage in what amounts to word games rather than actually learning to embrace, appreciate and use a new way of speaking and understanding the world.Songs in the French classroom do not...more

With Christmas just around the corner most people will have normally bought their Christmas presents for their family and loved ones. However there is generally always someone who has got everything and it is very difficult to buy them a present. For that person an item of memorabilia or signed memorabilia could be the perfect solution to your problem. Over the years I have managed to provide gifts for all sorts of occasions, from wedding gifts to a best man (signed football jersey) the Groom (a framed autograph of his favourite golfer.) Even to the Bride and Groom (a Manchester United signed Jersey). Memorabilia is the most versatile of gifts as everybody has a Football team, a celebrity a movie or a sports autograph they would like to have. I have even supplied an item of memorabilia for a Diamond Wedding anniversary! You know the real great thing about giving an item of memorabilia, whether its an autograph or a framed presentation, the fact that it is an item which does not perish, its easy to display and it can often accumulate in value over the years makes it the ideal choice for any occasion or celebration. Having dealt in autographs and signed memorabilia for many...more
