Hey Sunnydays ... do the parents insist you speak to the child in french ? Coz kids will learn fast and they will learn by watching the others speak as well so he will immitate them., If it was me, I would want my child to learn a second language as well. So, just use the terms you are comfortable with...he'll get it after a few repetition.
By the way if you find a good way to get him to say please and thanks (eng and french non matter) ...let me know coz I have this 2 year old who refuses to say it... he's they only one after 2months still will not say it.

Sunnydays, I have a baby who has just joined my daycare whose parents only speak French at home. My high school French is pretty much long forgotten, but I'm teaching him English and at his age he's soaking it up like a little sponge. I just thought it was funny to read your post and I may have to come to you some day soon to ask about French if this little boy starts saying words I don't understand.

I have a baby whose family speaks only French at home too...but he doesn't talk yet, so it's not really an issue. I speak both English and French to him and I know he will learn. The other one is older and a big talker, so I definitely need to use French to communicate. If I didn't speak French at all, I am sure he would learn English faster...but as I said, I like being forced to speak it And it feels good that he understands me...makes me feel like my french is not that bad

You can say like the others mentioned, "Faire semblant de..." or you can say "On va pretendre de faire ceci ou cela... It's from the verb "Pretendre" which means pretend in English. Hope that helps
