From the Publisher
Bonjour! Let's Learn French gives children roughly 6-10 an early and fun introduction to French.Kids board Pete the Pilot's magic airplane en route to France. On board, they learn their first French words and phrases. In France, they meet Louis, l'escargot and his friends, and follow their adventure while learning French and absorbing the culture. The French words and expressions are introduced gradually during the story, which is told in English. Back home, kids can use and expand their French with family and friends with fun activities. These include a treasure hunt, daily expression, and a skit.The Culture corner explains some of the cultural differences that children encounter during their stay in France. This section includes a traditional French song. In the crafts section, children learn about impressionist art and how to make an impressionist-style painting., as they are encouraged to use their French.Easy to use, whether or not parents know French. The Audio is free and downloadable at website mentioned in the book.It is my wish that all children have the opportunity to begin learning a language early. Although anyone can start to learn another language at any age, children will have more time to become proficient, and they have the ability to acquire native-like pronunciation.In the U.S., there are relatively few programs that introduce a language in elementary school.Parents wishing to give their children the many benefits of knowing another language can "homeschool" French for their kids. Bonjour! Let's Learn French is a great way to start. Parents can learn or review the language themselves. I hope that parents will also ask their local elementary school to implement programs of Foreign Language in Elementary School (FLES).
