s.z.ichigo Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 I've got an 11 year old entering sixth grade. She's done Latin for Children A and B (then A again, and half of B again) and would like to add French this year, while continuing LFC. I'd love to hear suggestions for French courses that are similar in style to LFC. Preferably with a video/audio component, since pronounciation of a modern language is much more important than Latin, and something that requires zero prior parental knowledge of French. Definitely not an "immersion" program. Also, I know that having a native/fluent speaker available to practice with is important to learning a language. How far do you think you should go in a foreign language before seeking out a fluent speaker for tutoring? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3andme Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 So You Really Want to Learn French from Galore Park is great for that age group and takes a traditional approach to French. Another possibility for middle school is Memoria Press' First Start French. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justkeepswimming Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 I highly recommend Mr G's French classes at currclick: http://www.currclick.com/index.php?manufacturers_id=394 But his class for French 1 is offered in the Fall. If she waits until fall, though... his classes are wonderful!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s.z.ichigo Posted December 9, 2012 Author Share Posted December 9, 2012 Cool, I'll look into it when Fall is near. We decided to go with First Start French for now. Thanks, guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
