Everyone doing French: what curriculum do you LOVE?

[Alicia64]

Why am I having such a miserable time finding French curriculum that would be geared for a 7 year old?

 

Tried d'lire (if I'm even saying that right).

 

I'm seriously thinking of doing Rosetta Stone.

 

Any suggestions?

Someone this board recommended French for Children to me. I ordered from Amazon -- here is a link although mine came with CDs. http://www.amazon.com/French-Children-Passport-Catherine-Bruzzone/dp/084429179X/ref=cm_cr_dp_orig_subj

 

Anyway, we have really enjoyed it. We have actually just used it in the car but I feel like the kids are actually learning some French -- the songs are very catchy and educational and I think that it is a native French speaker. It is a fun program and I feel that we are all learning some French (I have a minor in Spanish but no French). We are going to France this fall, so I feel that we will have a few basics for that.

With your younger child, I would recommend The Easy French. It was sweet and a nice introduction to the language.

When we finished that course, we moved onto Rosetta Stone, and it is fabulous.

This is what I was going to recommend too! We have it, and although we haven't used it yet, it looks wonderful, and they have a junior version for younger children. That's the one I have.
