We have been impressed with the excellent teaching strategies employed in the FRENCH ESSENTIALS curriculum. Our students continue to enjoy the program and my own children found it rewarding as the layout promotes student success.

Greatly disappointed with the twaddle of competitive curriculums with hopeful promises, we stumbled upon French Essentials. Lessons are well planned, with guaranteed step-by-step details for the parent/student, and colorful illustrations grace every page. Video clips are a breeze to locate for each lesson, and feature a nice visual variety for both watching, and participating in. As a mother to many, it is important for me to have a simple, yet thorough approach, allowing for the motivation to continue, without leaving anyone behind from confusion or lack of understanding. This course has been uniquely created, and provides an outstanding value for the dollar. I highly recommend this course.

FRENCH ESSENTIALS is an excellent program to introduce your child to the basics of the French language from home. It is clear, easy to use and will help to build your child’s self confidence in a second language. I recommend this program to any homeschool family considering adding French to their curriculum.

French Essentials includes all the important elements of listening, speaking, reading and writing to learn a second language. And it is laid out in a way that makes sense to the student getting them thoroughly familiar with spoken French. In my estimation, as a French major and homeschool teacher for 24 years, this is the best program on the market.

Salut! This is our last day of school for this year and we finished Module 2. This is the longest we have stayed with a program and we are very excited to let you know that we have learned so much so far. We practice phrases, sentences, and vocabulary from both modules throughout our days. Thank you so much for creating this very effective method of learning French. We are looking forward to Module 3 for 2012. Have a very Merry Christmas and a happy, healthy, and prosperous 2012.

Bonjour!

Just wanted to let you know that everything is working great! We are really enjoying the lessons and the simplicity of it all! I so wish that my son’s Japanese curriculum was as user friendly!!! :) Merci!

My girls have not learned any French at all before this year and they are enjoying and retaining what they are learning. I believe this is because of the multisensory approach. No matter whether the child is a visual, audio, or kinesthetic learner, this program provides for their needs. Their main learning style is fed and then reinforced by the other activities. For instance, my 13 year old is very much a visual learner, so seeing the people on the video is what teaches her best, however. What she has learned is reinforced by hearing them speak and by writing what she's learned. I think you will have great success with this program!

FRENCH ESSENTIALS includes all the important elements of learning a second language - listening, speaking, reading and writing. And it is laid out in a way that makes sense to the student, getting them thoroughly familiar with spoken French, but also building a usable vocabulary, with English translations so the children are not trying to "deduce" the meaning of words (which they will often guess incorrectly!) The students KNOW what they are saying and writing, and this is extremely important in building confidence in a second language. In my estimation, as a French major and homeschool teacher for 24 years, this is the best French program on the market.

We appreciate the way the program is laid out. Very easy to follow. We like the emphasis on communication and that the method is more than just listen and repeat. We like the section on the site on culture for the customers. We like that it is very affordable, especially for those of us on a tight budget. Customer service by email is prompt. We would recommend this program to others.

I am so excited for a curriculum that incorporates writing, reading, listening, and speaking French! There is a greater chance of retention when using all avenues to the brain!
