Yesterday we met “Ah Ca Ira,” a confident, quite confrontational song from the days of the French Revolution. Our version draws the tale of America Founding Father Benjamin Franklin, answering a question about what he thinks will ultimately happen in France despite its Revolutionary Era chaos. Franklin supposedly answered, “Ah! Ca Ira”” — essentially, “everything will be fine.” We don’t know if that story is true, but we can be almost 100% sure he never sang this song using the sounds of French animals.
See you in class in the upcoming week as we embark on a new three month adenture.
We are revising the AllAroundThisWorld.com site — the information you’re seeking may still be here, but a lot of links are broken and details may be out of date. We are currently using a new (better!) site — ExploreEverywhere.com — to tell you all about our class offerings, our “pen pal” program and how to become one of our teachers, and will eventually be moving all the goodies from here over to there. So, GO TO THE NEW SITE!
