Monde des Titounis contains a great range of French resources, from classic tales and more international ones, like Goldilocks and the Three Bears and Little Red Riding Hood. It can help children who are more fluent in another language to listen to the same story in two languages.
Caillou is a Canadian cartoon following the adventures of an energetic four year old who loves to have fun. Caillou YouTube channel, has more than 400 videos with stories to explore in French.
This is a brilliant post about favorite French resources: books, videos, sites etc. ! UPDATE: Unfortunately some of the links on the site I recommend are not active anymore, but here are some new ones (2019) here above.
A while back InCultureparent magazine asked about French resources on their FB page. I contributed a few off the top of my head, but then realized that I probably know dozens more, given that we’ve been looking for them for close to 12 years now. So I decided to come up with a list of things that our family has found useful, hoping that it can be interesting to others as well. In addition to the online resources, I basically just took a pen and some paper and went around the house writing down all the useful French things that I came across. Most are originally French, but I’ve included a few translations that have worked really well too. Similarly, some of the things are connected with the culture and not just with the language. None of the following links pay me a dime, they’re just there for you to get…
Really glad you swung by my blog as it has put me in touch with yours! I look forward to browsing through the content and hopefully sharing some ideas.

I thought the same when I saw the post. I’m actually looking for the same kind of resources for Durch, German, Italian etc. Any hints?
Thanks so much for giving everyone such a splendid possiblity to read in detail from this site. It is usually so nice and jam-packed with fun for me and my office friends to search the blog nearly three times in one week to learn the latest guidance you will have. Not to mention, I am just always astounded concerning the effective things you give. Certain 4 areas in this posting are indeed the best I have had.
Easter is over, some children are back to remote learning and some schools have adapted the amount of time students are required to learn online (or offline). They adjusted the pace of holding lessons online and if you ask me, it was so necessary to do so! Following […]
It sounds almost a sacrilege to mention COVID19 and celebrating in the same sentence or title, especially considering those who are struggling right now. We all have different ways to cope in the many phases we go through not only now, but in any situation. At the moment, […]
At the moment our teenagers have term break. We have spent many holidays at home in the past, but during COVID19 the social distancing and extra precautions when going out for walks etc. feel way more limiting for my teenagers (and me!). Also, they just got into the […]
