Speaking French

Alex has said a few French words (I think) since she started her French daycare, it's the cutest thing to hear. She was saying something last night while she was pointing at the monkey on her shirt. So I went online to find the French translation for the word monkey. Sure enough, she was saying monkey in French.
I'm finding it slightly difficult to keep up with the French since I don't speak or read the language. All of the communications from the daycare are in French, even her daily log is written in French. They are nice enough to translate it for me but I'm still having a hard time.
She also says Bonjour, that word I DO know. I know a few words, but I'd like to know the language to keep up with and help my daughter along. The only French course for adults in this area is not convenient for Alex and me.
I want my daughter to know as many languages as possible, my grandfather spoke five languages. But how will I keep up?
