Leyla

Hi, My name is Leyla and I'm Camille and Olivier's daughter. I'm almost 7 years old now, but I was born in the US and lived there till I was 4. I'm a bilingual child and I love speaking French AND English (my secret language here). I'll sometimes post videos of me telling traditional French songs/poems that I learn in school. I hope you enjoy them :-)

Ma main est une fleur - a French mother's day poem on video

05 Aug 2009
Every year, we learn a poem at school for Mother's day (la fête des mères). So my parents took a video so I can share it with you. On this vidéo, I am 4 1/2, and we just moved back to France. I love living close to my family, and love my new school and speaking French to my friends, but I still speak English at home with my parents, so I am a bilingual child. I hope you like my video, if so, press the facebook and tweeter buttons!
