The students who are doing the "Who Am I?" project in French are talking about what they want to do when they are older and leave school. They have also been talking about their favourite animals. If you want to join them you can. Even if you can't speak French! First, your teacher has to subscribe to the KIDCAFE-FRENCH mailing list (by sending a mail to LISTSERV.NODAK.EDU containing SUBSCRIBE KIDCAFE-FRENCH First-Name Last-Name. Replace "First-Name Last-Name" by your real name.) Then you go to this site:

http://babelfish.altavista.com/cgi-bin/translate?

and type in a simple message, and hit the button marked "translate", you can translate from English into French. Then you cut the French part and paste it into an email and send it to our French-speaking friends. One of the students at Delmar has tried it and it's fun! Who wants to give it a try?!

Cher Magalie,

Mon nom est Toby. J'aime la science, aussi. Mes sujets préférés sont des maths et la science.

Nous avons handicapé des étudiants à notre école. On est dans une chaise de roue. Son nom est Lauren. Nous avons quelques étudiants aveugles et étudiants sourds à notre école, aussi.

J'espère que vous pouvez comprendre mon français. J'emploie AltaVista pour traduire.

Votre ami,
Toby
