Mom tries to teach daughter French, but baby girl ‘meows’ instead

A mother tried to teach her baby girl how to count in French, but things got hilariously lost in translation. 

TikToker @coca.et.vani shared the adorable moment with her daughter. The mom had the 1-year-old repeat after her as she counted in French from one to four. But when the little one heard one of the words, it was already familiar. 

Unless you’re a French speaker, you’ll probably want to hear the audio to understand the funny miscommunication.
