Jolie Is Teaching Her Family French

ANGELINA JOLIE is teaching her children to speak French in honour of her late mother.

Jolie's French mother Marcheline Betrand died of cancer in January 2007 and the pregnant actress is determined to keep her memory alive.

The pregnant actress and her partner Brad Pitt are currently living in France and she is making sure all her children have a good grasp of the language.

She tells Us Weekly magazine, "(French is) a second language in the house, although I'm still learning and am not going to attempt any of it here today. My children are starting to speak French, so being here is very good for them and their language."

Jolie and Pitt are currently expecting twins. They also have three adopted children Maddox, six, Pax, four, Zahara, three, and biological daughter Shiloh, nearly two.
