John Kerry, Madonna Needs You!
2005-04-08
Like many parents, Madonna and Guy Ritchie are having a hard time understanding their own children. But in their case, it's because they speak in French all the time, reports Ananova.com.

Movie director Ritchie's grandfather says Rocco and Lourdes have all but shunned English at home. The two enfants terribles have been attending the posh Lycee Francais School in west London, where they study the language.

And with Lourdes now fluent--and Rocco well on the way--their folks are clueless as to what they are saying. "Ma mere, elle est tres etrange!" "C'est vrai, ma soeur!"

"They talk to each other in French all day, chatting away nonstop," said John Ritchie. "It's very funny. Neither Guy or Madonna speak a word of the language so they cannot understand anything."

All kidding aside, I think it's a great idea to teach languages to little kids. They pick them up so fast!
