I'm teaching my son how to count to 10 in English, Spanish, and now French, but I need some help. Also if any one knows the 8 basic colors in French that would be awsome too.
Thank you!

If I give you the spelling, you still won't know how to say them. If you have sound, why not try finding a web site to help. un, deux, trois, quatre, cinq, six, sept, huit, neuf, dix. On the hands, use the thumb for 1, the thumb and index for 2, and the thumb index and middle finger for 3. bleu is blue. rouge is red. blanc is white. jaune is yellow. You can not pronounce these the way they would be pronounced in english or spanish. I don't suppose you know the international phonetic alphabet.

The tv show Sesame Street is good at helping children learn different languages and to count in different languages, also. When my son went into kindergarden he could count to 20 in Spanish--and he sure didn't learn that from me. He watched Sesame Street 3 times a day.

It's extremely hard to read in English so to translate it to French is near impossible. Correct the English grammer e.g. NEVER put capital letters to commas. Then I'll be able to translate it.

I don't know how to spell it but it goes like this....
on, duex, twa (1, 2, 3) cat, sank, sea, set (4,5,6,7), wheat, nuff, dis (8,9,10)
My junior high language teacher made it into a story, On du twa (a body of water) a cat sank, the sea set, and I ate wheat nuff dis (cereal). I know it's dumb, but I've remembered if forever.
Here is a great link for pronunctiation

Un, Deux, Trois, Quatre, Cinq, Six, Sept, Huit, Neuf, Dix
Its tough for english speakers to pronounce though. 'Cause the sounds that you use in french dont really exist in english.
Kind of like, "uhn", "duh" "trwas" "katre" "seink" "seese" "set" "uite" "nuff", and "deese"
Hope that helps.
