A terrific way to learn French!

In Teach Me French, the author creatively uses Bible stories and well-known spiritual songs - ultimately making learning a foreign language - a fun and exciting venture for any child or grown-up! Having tested this on my 1 year old niece: Parents will get a kick out of reading this illustrated booklet to their young children. In turn these young tikes will actively listen for proper word pronunciations in order to sing along. The entire booklet is in French with full English translations in the back. The quality of this booklet/CD combo far exceeds expectations and will provide hours of entertainment, as well as language skills to anyone interested. Reviewed by Betsie

WOW!

Wow! What a find for parents of preschool (and older) children! This Teach Me French Spiritual Songs Compact Disc contains twenty-one songs, and is packaged with a workbook containing all the words to every song - in French. Then, in the back of the workbook, you will find the words also written in English. Having this workbook will make all the difference for children who experience this CD. It is very similar to a child's color-book, and would provide children everywhere with hours of coloring fun as they listen and learn another language. Using the workbook, children who have learned to read will be able to follow the words of each song, as well as the conversations of two young characters, Marie and Pierre, as they talk to each other and their friends. The conversations of Marie, Pierre, and their friends are written in the same way that a play is written, making it very easy to listen and follow along with their words. In addition, there are pictures of Marie and Pierre to color, as well as many other pictures depicting scenes of campfires, Vacation Bible School, Sunday school, and many others. ***** This 28-page book and 60-minute audio also features authentic singers and speakers, allowing a child to effectively master the correct pronunciation of the new language. I can think of no better way to introduce a new language to a young child than through the use of this new Teach Me offering - French Spiritual Songs. ***** Reviewed by Ruth Wilson of Huntress Reviews.
