Yes, absolutely. When we went to school, we were told things. That was less the case for my generation, because we had a certain pride in being francophone. That being said, students must not be constantly reminded to speak French. We strive to work with teachers to help them understand that learning a language and identifying with a culture can be fun. Having fun in French so that students can take pride in the francophonie is really what we are aiming for.
