# [Parlez-Vous Français?](https://blog.siliconvalleyinternational.org/2010/02/01/parlez-vous-francais-2)

The challenges of assimilating into another culture, while still keeping true to your roots is the topic of the cabaret-concert performance this Thursday.

When we were given the opportunity to have Frédérick perform at [INTL\*](https://istp.org) (if you have never seen one of his shows, I highly recommend it! He is extremely talented!), I jumped at the chance. [**"Parlez-Vous Français"**](http://www.istp.org/parlezvous)is an hour and a half show filled with songs (famous both in French pop culture as well as American), humor, fun, and delight.  
He'll perform over 50 hit songs ("My Way", "Where Do I Begin", "What Now, My Love", etc.). This particular topic is perfect for [our school](https://istp.org) community, regardless of whether or not you speak French. If you do not, he will have a screen behind him with subtitles, I hope to see you there.

Speaking of which, I noticed that we had a large number of non-[INTL](https://istp.org) community members RSVP to the event, and not very many [INTL](https://istp.org)community members. I know that we sent home a "Save the Date" postcard, sent home a flier in the Friday backpack, posted posters across both campuses, had reminders on the weekly e-newsletter, and posted on the website in various areas. I welcome feedback as to how we can better promote these events to you.  [Do not hesitate to email me](mailto:patricia@istp.org) or call me with your suggestions. [**If you intend on coming, please RSVP here.**](https://www.istp.org/podium/default.aspx?t=36644&rid=2374) The cost is as follows:

$10 general admissions  
$5 [INTL](https://istp.org) community members  
Free for [INTL](https://istp.org) middle school students and faculty/staff

\*In 2020, the International School of the Peninsula (ISTP) formally changed its name to Silicon Valley International School (INTL) to better reflect its bilingual programs, location, and international values.
