Bonjour mes amis!                                                                                                                                                                                                       I was away for some time..been busy with my spiritual and professional growth :-) ..                                                                                                                                                    I have discovered many Free Apps to enhance children's French vocabulary and at some point to expose them to French sounds. It does not matter how much they understand out of it; the important thing they are exposed to it and eventually children will start catching up some words or even phrases out of those clips, songs and games.                                                                                                                                                                                    I have no personal interest to promote these applications. I am sharing them as I have found them useful from the educational perspective.                                                                 Free Downloadable Android App:French Learning For Kids, Marlu Studio for Education marlustudio.com

    - Pop the balloons again and again to hear a repeat of the letter, number or picture...... - In the numbers category, pop the small balloons to hear a count of the represented number.....  - Full French alphabet....  - Numbers 1 to 10....  - A big collection of animals, shapes, colors, objects and fruits and vegetables. ...   - A learn section and a play section in each category...  - All words pronounced in a very clear, friendly and gentle female voice...   - You have the ability to keep repeating the words until you or the child get it right...   - Each represented word has its spelling also displayed.                                           I have actually abandoned the idea of flashcards that are just everywhere...in my car..in my room...in my kitchen..perhaps if I do some more "search" in my house I will find them in my bathroom as well .. personal experience, these children are so much addicted to their Ipads and Phones..so for now it is the best way to engage them in learning.. just go through apps that are free and read the customer reviews.. I found this one very helpful; well, that's "for now" helpful I mean:-)                                                                                  Bien Des Choses à Tous!!!

French Keyboard, Flash Cards and YouLearnFrench on youtube.

Create flash cards yourself roughly by hand if you do not have a printer at home. Flashcards will help them to memorize spelling words. I also will update my PP file with pronunciation, it is good to review it daily. If you can not open the file please let me know. For typing in french such letters like à, è you will need a French Keyboard.

There is one perfect channel on youtube YouLearnFrench I have subscribed to it She also has another channel for dialogues, but that is for later. My child is watching it every day. I do not see much progress, however I can see her recalling words, numbers and spelling few words and numbers. some children grasp quickly while others are a little slow :-) but in both cases they still L E A R N .. Most importantly enjoy your time with your child :-)

numbers: ..(this video file was uploaded from youtube) Enjoy!

To help your child with his spelling test search on Google and download dotted font for MS Word. Once it's done choose dotted font, type the words so your child could practice here is the worksheet with: il (he)(it/noun masculine), elle (she) (it/feminine noun), a (in, to, from, etc), les (m/f plural noun), mes, des (de+les=des plural in French uncountable or countable) Not to confuse your child for the beginning explain that Les, Mes, Des are articles that used with plural nouns. Much later when they expand their vocabulary they will learn everything in details with proper examples) .. here PP file you can check it out for the pronunciation and I will update with more words shortly (download and click on each voice icon) Au Revoir XOXO

Hey there!

Thank you for diving into my page :-)

Ok, for today I will be sharing just a few worksheets to help your child with his French.

You do not have to be French speaking parent to help your child....just a pinch of love with patience and serve it with French worksheets from Mahsati's blog :-)

Feel free to print them out or email me with all your questions ...

Later on I will create and share videos that will help your child to improve his/her French pronunciation.

I also suggest buying French-English flash cards. I've got from Walmart for $1.49 only.. not bad, huh? :-)

Flash Cards will help your child visualize spelling of body parts, days of week, colors and much more....Go through them every day, they will grasp something out of it :-)

If your child does not seem grasping so well as you were "expecting" I suggest lowering your expectations :-) Mistakes are just a part of learning....Tell, show, guide and reward your child all the time. Comment positively, try to use positive words ...Accentuate the Positive!!.....then only your child will succeed :-)

Bonne Chance! ;-)
