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

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. :)

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.

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.

I absolutely love this book. The songs cover all the most useful topics and at an appropriate level of difficulty. The CD has both a sung track and a backing track of each song. The songs are fun to sing and the children enjoy them. I have been working my way through it with year 3/4 but would also be good for other age groups.
