You and your husband have agreed to watch his adorable French niece and nephew today. It will give the two of you a chance to get to know the kids, Adele and Adrien, and give the exhausted French parents a chance to be alone for a while. Besides, what’s the worst that could happen? Did you speak too soon? It seems that those adorable little French bundles of joy may have a few tricks up their sleeves. The kids want to have a French scavenger hunt! Since they are still very young, their French is hardly any better than yours is. So, listen well! While you were saying goodbye to their mommy and daddy, Adele emptied your wallet and hid everything all over their French home. I really hope you practiced saying the names of furniture in French. If not, this could be a very long, frustrating night! You might want the first French question to be, “is my money in the fireplace?” Ooh, I hope she didn’t go to the bathroom!

Learning French with FrenchPod101.com is the most fun and effective way to learn French! This French Beginner lesson will teach you how to say the names of most living room furnishings in French! Then we will discuss a common French living room, how the French use it, and the events of a normal planned invitation French dinner shared in the home.

I used to spend the whole day in bed. Then I got grounded. I was confined to my room. How do you say “You’re grounded” in French?

Ahh good question! Bonne question! Careyxxx.

“Tu es punie” pour un garçon.
“Tu es punie.” pour une fille.

So you were grounded in your room for staying in bed the whole day, did you stay in bed while being grounded? ( I couldn’t help it, LOL) :grin:

So, if you are a boy, you don’t get a period. If you are a girl, you get a period.

I don’t understand the difference. Why does the boy get an “e”?

Well very good question Careyxxx,
I can’t believe I put an -e and omit the “.”.

It should be “Tu es puni.” (pour un garçon)

The reason for these horrrrrrrible mistakes??????? Aaaahhhhh my typing skills are totally AWFUL (I’ve never learned how to type properly, this is not skilled taught in regular French schooling except for a secretary training of course).

The other reason is to see if you would notice the mistakes (good excuse, no?! lol) ;) .
