je ne sais pas!

K (8 years old) and N (6 years old) are determined to teach my unilingual English-speaking dh to speak French.  They have been working with him utilizing N's Grade 1 LaRoue book.  (LaRoue is effective in that it teaches French in a phonetics format but it is a painful way to have to practice reading in a new language for both the reader and the listener).

While my dh was in the car with the girls yesterday, my dh asked N a question to which N replied, "Je ne sais pas".  Dh asked, "What does that mean, N?"  N replied, "I don't know."

My dh asked K, "What does that mean?"  K replied, "I don't know."  My dh was becoming frustrated and said, "K, you've been in French immersion for 3 to 4 years and you don't know what that means?"  K replied, "It means: I don't know."

My dh's reply?  "Oh."
