Singing Languages - Singing French (Book + CD): 22 Photocopiable Songs and Chants for Learning Fre

Ideal para aprendizaje autónomo o para preparar tus clases

Original music that doesn't make you cringe - really varied and enjoyable - like music you'd choose to listen to! But catchy enough to be make the language memorable. The topics and language covered are perfect for early learners of French. I'm using the songs with my 9 year old on car journeys - in 2 months, he can say numbers to 100, the alphabet, body parts, some food items + how to ask for them, family, age, where he lives, basic objects, directions. The grammar and phrases around the vocabulary enables him to actually communicate and adds a little extra challenge. It's easy to learn just from listening (if someone, e.g. parent, is able to explain what the words mean). On the CD, you get the song followed by a backing track, so you can practise with the singers and then challenge yourself to remember the song with the backing track only. I think it's an excellent purchase and would recommend to parents and language teachers on the basis of the wonderful CD alone. There is good support in the book too, with lesson plans, follow-up ideas and photocopiable song words providing written back-up for each song and sheet music. Probably most suitable for 7-13 year olds.

Eine prima Ergänzung zum frühen Fremdspracherwerb ab der 1. Klasse in der Grundschule. Besonders gut ist, dass die Texte sich an der Lebenswelt der Kinder orientieren und klasse zum Lehrwerk Petite Pierre (BaWÜ) dazu kombinieren lässt mit eigenen kleinen Angleichungen. Auch das zu jedem Stück existierende Playback und die Textvorsprechversion ohne Musik sind pädagogisch wertvoll. :)

For my last placement before I qualified I was informed that I would have to teach French. Having completed a German GCSE previously, my confidence in teaching the language was low however I wanted to make it enjoyable. I found and bought this fantastic resource to use in year 3 from Amazon and have not regretted it. It brought out children's confidence not only in speaking French but talking to the class in general. Singing became a regular occurance in the classroom. Even when not teaching French the children asked if we could practice the songs. This is the first time I have ever written a review however it is because this is a fantastic product to recommend. It has given me confidence to introduce the French language to primary school children and make it fun and enjoyable with the introduction of songs to reiterate key vocabulary such as greetings, numbers and months of the year.

Great CD to listen along to in the car and help you and the kids learn French. My son is 4 and has taken in loads. We have both learned alot and the songs are quite catchy. The tracks include: Saying hello, introducing oneself, numbers 1 to 3, numbers 1 to 12, nouns for classroom objects, days of the week, numbers 11 to 20, the alphabet, introducing family members, names of parts of the body, numbers 0 to 100, months of the year, the verb habiter, names of places in a town, asking for drinks and snacks, french money, weather phrases, names of countries, saying where someone is going, names of sports, asking and saying the time, names of items of clothing.
