Francophone elementary school students sing classic American Pop Songs, Paris France

This video consists of 5 classes (about 120 students, ranging from ages 8-12) from the École Élémentaire Josephine Baker located in Pantin, just northwest of the Paris periphery, on June 28th 2009. Many of the children started learning English this academic school year (since October 2008), and made immense progres--in terms of pronunciation and enthusiasm to learn--by singing classic American and British pop songs. "I Feel Good", James Brown, "Hit the Road Jack" Ray Charles, and "Tutti Frutti" Little Richard. Conducted by Cody Case

Mais non!!! It's not at all an insult, they made tremendous progress for their first year of learning English; imagine American elementary children trying to sing French pop songs! ;-)

@AuxaneD to beat it better? that makes no sense, but then again you learned it in school so your an expert right? i am learning french on my own and have a student from france living with me and fyi they have been taking english for 5 years and i have been learning french for 10 months and i speak it with great confidence and am very good at it i speak english better than they speak french. so kindly, do not prove the ass-hole french sterio-type with your arrogance. Merci

An insult to Francophonie in a way. But we must master English and even excell at it, to beat it better.
