Daddy: Hello, Daddy pig speaking.
Phone: Monsieur Pig, comment allez-vous?
Daddy: Oh. Something is wrong with the
phone.
Daddy: You see, the phone is talking
nonsense.
Mummy: Hello,
Mummy: That was Monsieur Donkey, he was
speaking French.

Daddy: Ha, I thought as much.
Peppa: Mummy, what did monsieur Donkey
say?
Mummy: He asked if little Delphine Donkey
could visit us.
Peppa: Oh goody.

Narrator: Delphine Donkey is Peppa’s very
special friend from France.
Mummy: Delphine’s coming to practice
talking English with us.
Children: Hooray!
Mummy: We’d better hurry. Delphine’s train
is arriving any minute.

Train: Last stop, all change.
Peppa: That’s Delphine’s train!
Peppa: Delphine!
Delphine: Bonjour!
Narrator: “Bonjour” means “Hello” in French.
Peppa: Bonjour.
Mr. Donkey: Bonjour.
Daddy: Bonjour Mr. Donkey.

Daddy: My goodness, is that huge case for
Delphine?
Mr. Donkey: Yes, Delphine has brought a few
little things for her visit.
Things you do not have over here cheese,
bread, tomatoes, water…
Au revoir, Delphine. I’ll be back to pick you
up tomorrow night.

Daddy: Where should I put Delphine’s
luggage?
Peppa: In my room, at the very top of the
house.
Daddy: Oh.
And this luggage is for one night stay?

6

Delphine: Oh yes, that is why I only pack a
little bag.
Daddy: Oh.
Mummy: Now, Delphine is here to practice
talking English, so we must all help her.
Peppa: Yes, mummy.

7

Delphine: First, I must say sorry,
I do not speak English very well.
Daddy: You don’t speak too badly.
Delphine: You are very kind, Monsieur Pig.
But may I ask you a question about talking
English?
Daddy: Of course, I am an expert at taking.
Ask away.

8

Delphine: Are English split infinitives a form
of irregular verb, or past pronoun?
Daddy: Uh…
Mummy: Actually it’s quite late, shall we set
up Delphine’s bed?
Peppa: Mummy, mummy, can Delphine sleep
in my bed, with a pillow at each end?
Mummy: Good idea, Peppa.

9

Narrator: Peppa and Delphine are sleeping at
each end of the same bed.
Mummy: Now children, try to go to sleep.
Daddy: You’ll get a busy day tomorrow
Delphine is visiting your play group.
Peppa: Wow.
Mummy: Dormez bien.
Narrator: Dormez bien is French for “sleep
well”

10

Peppa: I’m not sleepy at all.
Delphine: Let’s sing a little song to make us
sleepy.
Peppa: Yes.
Narrator: Delphine’s pretty French song has
sent everyone to sleep.

11

Narrator: Delphine has come to Peppa’s play
group.
Peppa: Madame Gazelle, this is my
French friend- Delphine Donkey.
Delphine: Bonjour.
Madame Gazelle: Ah, bonjour Delphine.

Peppa: Delphine sang a pretty French song
last night.
Can we teach her an English song?
Danny: How about “The Bing-bong Song”?

13

Delphine: Yes, sing me this “Bing-bong song”.
It would be good for my English.
Madame Gazelle: Ok. Wu.

words.
