Movie Reviews of French for Kids: Learn French with Penelope and Pezi Beg. Level 1 Vol. 1
Movie Review: Satisfied Parent
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm very surprised at the negative reviews. While this DVD is clearly not made from Walt Disney Studios, it does what it's supposed to do - introduce French words and phrases to children in an easy-to-follow way. The actors speak authentic French. What is taught is quite useful - introductions,counting, colors, playing, food, etc. The actors use these words and phrases within a simple storyline and they are again repeated during the review section. They are also repeated once more in the songs that are scattered throughout the DVD (the songs are pretty catchy by the way - more so than in other children's videos). So, if you are looking for pure entertainment,
this video is probably not for you but if you want a tool that can hold your child's attention and teach them French, then you should give this a try.
Summary of French for Kids: Learn French with Penelope and Pezi Beg. Level 1 Vol. 1
"Learning French has never been so much fun. This wonderful program introduces children to the language using a setting that they can easily relate to and non-intimidating vocabulary. Each lesson includes brief skits with dialogue using the target words. Several of the lessons include upbeat songs that contain the targeted vocabulary and will have children singing along in no time. A comprehensive phrase review and song booklet is included that contains all of the dialogue, translations, and answers to the quizzes. A must-have for every collection." ?
