French Literacy??? What does that mean?

I am brutally aware now that I am raising a four years old in a different culture than the one I was raised in, that my son, even though confortable with his heritage, is "frenchly" illiterate. What does that mean? It means that as a parent it is hard for me to teach him all he needs to know in order to call himself French. My husband and I have been trying with great difficulty to teach him the language and the traditions, but the pop culture and other idioms he would pick up every day in France are totally foreign to him.

I believe that my family is not the only one out there with a similar situation... We are able to communicate a language, a part of a culture and its tradition, but without a united community, we cannot teach him the feelings and implications of being French. Above a language and traditions, we are a people...

I would truly appreciate any tips or ideas on how to create a larger and more united french community in this area. Unlike many foreign communities relocated in the United States, we are not a linked community. Let's create that bound for our children's sake. Let's share with them as a whole what our culture and heritage means, and let's support them in their integration as franco-american children.

I have been thinking on the many things I could be doing locally in order to encourage French Literacy in its broadest sense: teaching the French culture and language to all interested, and linking all of us as a community.

Currently, here are some ideas I am tossing around:

1) Create "French" groups in my local community

2) Volunteer in teaching French -- I am thinking about starting a Free French Learning group open to all ages once a week at my local library, welcoming fluent speakers to share the language, and eager learners to share their enthousiasm in learning...

3) Create "French Nights" at a friends house, local school and library to show a movie in French and offer an open discussion after the movie on the topic of your choice

4) Form a "play group" for French Speaking children to play together and share the language awareness

Any other ideas?
