Q: My child is 1 year old, and I would love to introduce a second language to him. Are your lessons age appropriate for him?
A: The guide is geared to teachers in a group classroom setting. For a baby that young, we highly recommend the Hop, Skip, and Sing French CD https://www.analomba.com/product/hop-skip-and-sing-french-audio-cd/ Unfortunately, the CD packet is no longer available, but you can download the script and the soundtrack from that link.
Q: I am not a native French speaker, but I have a decent command of the French language. Would this program lead me to be able to teach preschoolers French?
A: Yes, the guide can help you prepare your lessons even if you are not a native French speaker, as long as you have at least an intermediate command of the language. There is also the Magic Worlds curriculum. The teaching units have all the examples written in French (the explanations are in English). You can learn more about it at https://www.analomba.com/product-category/lesson-plans-curricula/
Hello! My son is 11 months old and I would love to introduce a second language to him. We just hired a French babysitter who will be teaching him French but I was wondering if your lessons are age appropriate for him. Please let me know, thank you!

Hi Danielle, the guide is geared to teachers in a group classroom setting. For a baby that young and your babysitter, I highly recommend the Hop, Skip, and Sing French CD https://www.analomba.com/product/hop-skip-and-sing-french-audio-cd/ Unfortunately, the CD packet is no longer available, but you can download the script and the soundtrack from that link. It includes easy rhymes, baby songs, and fun movement activities. In the same website you will see other materials that your babysitter can use with your son when he is a little bit older, such as the storybooks https://www.analomba.com/product-category/childrens-books-cds/ (these are easier), and the online subscription to stories (a little more advanced) https://www.analomba.com/product-category/estorybook-subscriptions/.
All the best,
Ana
I am not a native French speaker but I have a pretty decent command of the French language. Would this program lead me to be able to teach pre-schoolers French. I love children and have been an assistant in a Montessori classroom. Let me know. It feels like a good fit as I start on my third chapter of life!
