Finally, a great French video!!!, November 11, 2004
I am the mom of a nineteen month old to whom I speak my mother tongue -
French - everyday. He is learning so fast that I just can't keep up with
him. I have been looking for so long for more French videos. I am just so
happy I came accross this one at the library, now I have to have it! The
songs are great and in tune. The pronunciation is perfect, and the topics
are varied. We learn the vocabulary of animals at the zoo, the beach, the
alphabet, the weather, the seasons, the days of the week... etc. In
addition, it couples French and English which also makes daddy happy!!! Love
it!!!

Very Dissapointing, June 20, 2004

I purchased this for my 5 year old in the hopes that she might enjoy the
songs and become familiar with some of the sounds of the French language.
This is the first movie that she has refused to watch! (and she has watched
a number of movies in French) It is very poorly made. The songs are terrible
and the children singing them are tone deaf.
The MUZZY tapes have worked much better.

Great French Language Starter Video, August 11, 2003

My 2-1/2 and 3-1/2 year old girls really enjoy this video series. We do
not speak French but would like to expose them to the language as much as
possible. I am not a video advocate, but when trying to expose my children
to a second language it's the best I can do. The video is not cartoonish or
puppets, rather video clips of real children playing, dancing, jump roping,
and doing various other activities. They do activities to music sung by
children too, which is a plus to keep a child's attention. I liked the ABC's
and 1-2-3's done in both English and French. The entire video is done in
alternating echo format, meaning, one line is sung in English (with an
English subtitle) then sung in French (with a French subtitle). It's really
worth the money. Since it has subtitles in both French and English, reading
opportunities are present for the older children. I expect my children will
watch this video up to age 11, if it does not break before then.

This video is superb!, January 31, 2001
This entertaining bilingual video is recommended for children who really
want to learn French if they've heard of French. Even kindergarteners will
tolerate this video. Throughout the video, children sing 11 songs in English
and French and the lyrics are subtitled at the bottom of the screen. This
and all other Lyric Language videos contain the songs:
