Description:

Dinosoft's French presents beginning French in an open-ended manner that kids can use in exploring the language. The lessons allow children to choose areas, then hear and see the words in French and English. There are drills and quizzes, as well as progress reports.

Features:

• Master basic French words
• Native speakers pronounce each word.
• Includes a printable coloring book.
• Certificates of achievement can be printed.

Technical Aspects:

French installed quickly and ran with no problems. The pronounciations are clear, easy to understand, and the animations were smooth.

Reports and Conclusions:

This title was created for children ages 4 to 11. While it is an adequate introduction to learning French, there's no terrifically innovative games here - most of them are drills. One part kids will enjoy is pronounciation practice, because there is a record/playback feature. If you're looking for an introductory French title for your kids, this one will get them off to a good start.
