This program is great for totally "immersing" kids in the language. Lots of games are included. The graphics are a bit odd, but the kids enjoy it!

This program is colorful and the graphics and songs are amusing. Be aware, though, that it is a total "immersion" product which means there is not always an explanation of what the animated "teacher" is saying. The teacher, a little girl named "Claudine," just begins speaking and a child (or adult!) with no background in French may be intimidated after the first pause. You can click on a guide which gives a written English explanation of the various icons and games, but this is of no help to a young child who does not yet read well. I felt the program was useful in naming specific items you could click on, but it left me wanting more in the way of breaking down and explaining the specific words and phrases "Claudine" was using. A basic understanding of French prior to using this educational game would greatly increase the value of the game to a child.
