Customer Reviews

Great supplement after a foundation!

As a Spanish teacher and Spanish curriculum author (Flip Flop Spanish), I'm always looking for great tools to pull out in my classes and keep things fresh and interesting. So I bought this and used the cards with my own children and my students. We began studying French as well, after teaming up with Yvonne Batot on Flip Flop French: Ages 3-5: Level 1, so I bought this in French since I was so pleased with the Spanish version. It did not disappoint! This is a neat book! You cut out all the little cards inside, and then use the cues to put together your own sentences. The CD was a huge bonus. My own children did not jump at the chance to use these cards, but once I sat down and made a few examples by tossing cards out like a poker player, they joined in, especially when we were al making silly sentences. I am bilingual, and so this was a fun event in the household, and I believe in the class, it will prove useful as well. But if you are a beginner, get a foundation with another book first, then add this in to build confidence and usefulness in your language learning. The best age for these cards is five and up. Younger than that, the children are more focused on just looking at the picture rather than using them to communicate and speak in Spanish. -Being able to read fairly well might also be a prerequisite for your child too, to cut down on frustration.

I can read & speak French

I did not know any French before I read this book. It is very helpful to read and see the words as well as hear them on the CD.

Good Start for Adults Learning on Own...

If you are an older adult and you don't have anyone to help you get started, this book is perfect. It is a simple reader and though at times, the humor is corny, it will ease you into the french pronounciation and help you understand the language much better. It's a good way to see if you really want to learn French - then you can go on to other books that will help you become fluent in the language.
