UmMusa Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 My 5th grade daughter is really keen on learning French and already watches a dvd from the library that is for learning (Bonjour Les Amis). She even googled common French terms last night and made flash cards :D Any recommendations for her? We're not looking for a tough curriculum, but she does want to learn. I previewed some pages of Getting Started With French, and I'm concerned that it might be too bland and void of culture and energy. However, if you've used it and love it, please tell me why!

Monica_in_Switzerland Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Why not sign her up on DuoLingo while you are waiting on a book curriculum? It's free and so are the apps. My son uses it for German and the "game" aspect of it makes him enjoy the work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Esse Quam Videri Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 (edited) We liked L'art de Lire-- it's cheap, easy to follow, and includes oral/written practice. We also use Duolingo and an online French tutor. Edited December 1, 2015 by mofbethany Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happyhappyjoyjoy Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 My son loves Pimsleur French and is using it with his father. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CadenceSophia Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Assimil's New French With Ease could be a good way to go. It isn't structured like a traditional western academic course, but all for the better. It is what I wish I had at that age. It should bring her to an A2 Level. The French Phonology course from FSI is really good and free, but perhaps difficult. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
