My 7 yr old switched to a new school this year where they have French once/wk instead of Spanish (like she has in K & 1). The teacher recommended that we listen to French kids songs and play games in French, and read kids books in French. I bought eeboo's French Bingo, some Dr Seuss & Eric Carle books in French, and Rock & Learn French, all from amazon.com. The teacher said if we keep it fun, and not like school, she would pick it up faster.....
