    Hey, Im a school teacher and next year we have been asked to name our class any word but it has to be in a different language as next year it is the international year of languages.

    Trouble is I only speak english. Does anyone know of a word in any language that begins with the letter 'F' that is easily pronounced (i.e english sounds, no accents or anything) that has a good meaning, suitable for a year 1 class, for example an animal or greeting or something simple and nice like that

    Any suggestions would be great
    Thanks :)

    Fil (means elephant in Turkish and pronounced like feel but with only one "e" inside)
    that's the easiest word that I could think of.

    Isn't learning another language a part of studying to become a teacher?
