In celebration of the apple season, I’ve prepared a fun little worksheet and coloring page to test your kids’ knowledge of world languages.  Just click and print: apples-around-the-world

Don’t worry if you don’t know the word for “apple” in Norwegian (I had to look it up, too!)  There’s an answer key at the bottom.

Consider the apples worksheet a free gift from Foreign Language House at Lulu.com.  We’re still working behind the scenes to create more downloadable language learning e-books.  (Another fall tradition–Homecoming Week–has me a little behind on the work schedule!) Stop by and visit often to see what we’ve got cookin’!

Enjoy “Apples Around the World” and enjoy the fall season wherever you live :-)
