What École Antione Pizonthink of our French
animations

• Hi Wilma! We've just come back to school this
  morning. Thank you very much for your DVD and
  your Easter cards. I'm sorry but I hadn't time to
  do some with my pupils. Animations about the
  novels are fabby and the sound too! Pupils loved
  the films and the explanations about making the
  animations. They were very happy to see
  themselves too. Florence
• Hi Wilma! We have listened carefully to your
  video, and we understand quite well your French.
  It's funny because children speak with a very
  strong accent, but it's very enjoyable to listen
  to them. Moreover, it's a great performance to
  act the scenes in French, congratulations to
  them. See you soon. Florence
