 Fantastic to learn to talk to your child in French June 30, 2007
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
As someone who had some very rusty high school French I have found this book and 60 minute CD invaluable in teaching my 1 year old son to understand and speak French. He even enjoys listening to the CD in the car while Mummy learns French as he recognises phrases and songs that we have begun to use. The book and CD show you how to conduct everyday conversations with your child in many situations such as getting dressed, eating, cleaning up, bath time, going to the park and playing games. In addition to the vocabulary there are lots of easy songs that you can learn and sing during those activities.

This is a very nice book. It teaches basic conversation for young kids. Taking a bath, getting dressed. Very colorful and with pictures.
 Play and Learn is not very engaging January 9, 2007

I haven't been able to find something as entertaining as Learn in Your Car French for Kids (Marie and Robert going to the fete). The CD on Play and Learn is completely in French without any clever songs, stories, or activities that the kids can really follow along to. If they know a LOT of French then maybe it would be something they can follow along to, but it certainly doesn't teach anything using English/French together in an engaging way.
 Rich content with helpful vocabulary help January 9, 2007

I bought this for my 3-year-old girl who's going to a French immersion preschool. She loves it! She likes it when I read to her (I speak pretty fluent French) and she can figure out things by looking at the pictures. E.g., when I read a sentence and ask her in French what a certain object is, she'd point to a picture. She also likes to hear the CD. The book is colorful. The pictures and the English translation for the scripts are very helpful. My 7-year-old boy who doesn't speak French also likes to read with us and he'd read the English and I do the French part. I can tell the book is appealing for kids no matter what language it's in. I give 4 stars because I think they could have done better on the recording with more animation and variety in the tone, etc.

While this book is geared towards children, I found it to be very helpful to me as a beginning French college student. I originally bought this mainly for it's pictures and dual translations as I'm a visual learner and because I've heard many foreign language audio programs that I didn't care for at all. This, however, is obviously done by a native speaker (and a good singer at that).
The audio and pronounciation is clear, making it easy to follow along with the text. The topics that are covered are everyday activities, making it easy to find ways to make use of what you learn in real life practice. Also, as the previous reviewer noted, the use of colloquial terms is also very helpful and useful.
As an experienced adult language learner, I feel that this will do well to improve not only my pronounciation, but my vocabulary as well.
