TOS Review Great Commission Languages French Jr.


Foreign language has forever been a pebble in our homeschooling shoes.  We just can't seem to find anything that works-I should say that we like.

Until now.  I was chosen to review Great Commission Languages French Jr.  I was skeptical, I'll admit it.  We have tried so many things only to get frustrated and give up.  So I didn't hold out much hope but I openened it up and looked through it.

Great Commission Languages - Easy French Jr. levelI was cautiously excited.  The book contained worksheets, a listening CD, printable worksheets, and teaching material. I was pleased to read the Introduction that helped explain how to use the curriculum and then the Extra Resources page that listed famous French people.  It's always good tie in learning with real world experiences.  Then the characters are listed with their names and pictures.  This is helpful when listening to the CD or working through the Lessons.  These help give visual cues for better recall.

The Lessons are divided up into sections for listening to the CD, Vocabulary, Activity, Teacher Helps, and Cultural Notes.  Each section is easily understood by the student for some independent work if they are older or easy implementation for the mom/teacher.  We have really enjoyed using this curriculum.



My 9yo says,"I really like learning French and this makes it so easy and fun!"
