Pomme de Terre - the apple of the Earth

Teaching French to English raised children is both a challenge and a reward. Sitting down with them and going over the various words and finding way to help them remember their vocabulary is tricky. My favourite word to this point has to be "Poubelle" which means "garbage" or "trash can". Broken down into its two syllables - Pou and Belle - I've told the children that have to learn this word that as long as they remember that to say garbage in french all they have to do is think of Beautiful Poo then arrange it in the proper order.
First they say "Poo" then they say "belle". As many of you already know, "belle" in French means beautiful or pretty. Hence, when you want to say trash can in French just think of beautiful poo! It should give you a laugh.
