My family and I are getting ready to leave on an extended trip to Europe.  We'll be spending most of our time in France.  Being the good homeschool mom, I've been trying to prepare the girls before we leave.  One of the things we've done is use Rosetta Stone French.  It's an amazing program that I highly recommend.  The girls beg to do it each day and we've all learned so much.  www.rosettastone.com

Some libraries offer this online to their patrons.

We spend a lot of time in the car.  Another program we're using is Berlitz Basic French.  It's an oldie, but goodie!  We were fortunate to borrow it from a friend.  It consists of three 60-minute audio cassettes (yes, I said cassettes!  LOL) and a 192 page study guide with exercises and notes.

Finally, I recently found this http://french-word-a-day.typepad.com/motdujour/

It's a wonderful site that offers a new French word a day in story form.  She also has several books to purchase.  You can get on her mailing list and receive the new words directly in your email box.

I'll be sure to post when we return from our trip and let you know if our French programs paid off.

Au revoir!
