Site highlight: French fun

Here's an adorable--and really fun--site for learning French. It's called "French Fun," and it's a Blog Talk Radio broadcast created by Kelly Robic--an expatriate American living in France--and her son, Alex who teach French vocabulary lessons in 15-minute segments. It's designed for children 4-10.

Kelly leads Alex through teaching the lessons--and because it's Blog Talk Radio, you can hear the lessons! Alex has native pronunciation of French, and they do themed lessons. Recently, they did a lesson on love and Valentine's Day. Check it out!

Note: The broadcast starts with a brief, but somewhat annoying commercial, after which the broadcast begins. Just like TV, the commercial is several times louder than the rest of the broadcast. Also, note that the broadcast "loops." When it's finished, it will start all over again unless you close the site or navigate away from it.
