Customer Reviews

Great music for learning French

I use songs from this CD to teach French to 1st-3rd graders, but I think the songs have a wide appeal, to kids of all ages. Even my Kindergarten and Preschool students LOVE the rock and roll Frere Jacques! C'est l'Halloween is probably the all time favorite song of my Elementary students. It's rare to find songs that are both good quality music and the right level of vocabulary for teaching language. My students who play instruments like the piano and guitar music that come with the CD. I highly recommend this product for Elementary students who will learn French as they sing and listen to these great songs.

It's a great way to learn French

My children absolutely adore music, so this is a great way to learn French. Flip Flop French is a great addition to this if you have younger kids ages 3-5. Flip Flop French is based on a proven curriculum and they really enjoy "their workbook".

Fabulous for readers and for speakers

My sons love singing along with the CD and my 5 year old likes to follow along with the song book. We'd only played the CD once before when he began telling me what each of the songs was about and asking me to translate specific words he didn't remember. I had to resort to the song book a couple of times, but the lyrics are so clear and easy to understand that it wasn't often necessary. Parents who do not already speak French will like having the translations available. Compared to much of what is out there for bilingual texts and supplements, this in an excellent value.

Fantastic!

Our whole family loves this CD! The music is fun and enjoyable for both adults and children alike. It is simple enough for our young son, but complex enough to be enjoyable for us as well. The book is fantastic, giving full French text and music for each of the songs, and then the English translation for all of them at the back of the book. I highly recommend this product as an early exposure to French language, and simply as an enjoyable listening experience all around.

For the next step after nursery rhymes

Upbeat, this starts with a rock n roll version of Frere Jacques. This is nice. Post nursery rhymes, preschoolers and up, I'd say. Noticeable Quebec (?) accent on some words here and there.
