It is a special time
in my French 1 classes; the time when the language soaks in so far that it goes into students' dreams.
At the beginning of class, one of my girls raised her hand and was so
happy to share that she had a dream in French.
The girl next to her then shared her French dream. Their excitement was awesome and brought so
much fun energy to the class.
I asked them to share
what they told us and this is what they wrote:
“The other night I was having a dream. In my dream, I was on a tour and me and a
group of people were exploring. Suddenly
I realized that the guide was talking in French. Another tourist was also
talking in French. I was able to understand
some of the simpler words, but got confused on the bigger words, but I just
thought it was cool that I’m dreaming in French.”

Colette
“So, I had a dream where I was in the front of a
French class, but it wasn’t mine and I introduced myself in French and it was
really cool. When I woke up I was all like ‘Ohhhh that was weird’”
- Caroline
What a dream for me
to have students connect with French in such a way that it becomes subconscious,
a part of who they are. How exciting it is to watch unfold!
This is why I teach!
