ergo

We have lived here in France for 2 years now and our two sons had no french when we arrived despite exposure to Muzzy ,which they both found boring, and Salut Serge, which was a fun video but didnt seem to impart much french to them! They are both now  fluent and I am sure part of this is due to being the only english kids at the ecole therefore having to pick it up and only watching french tv. I would suggest going to Amazon.fr and ordering some dvds or videos in french for your kids to watch to get them used to the language, they can always watch dvds with subtitles in english if it helps build their confidence, and it will give them sonmething to invite their new freinds around to watch when they do move here. Bon chance!
