Designed for children ages 1-7, On Va Jouer is fun for all ages! Review ------ We can't say enough good things about this DVD, which uses the immersion method to teach French to children. This means everything is spoken only in French, an approach that puts kids on the fast track to fluency by letting them connect words directly with images. This is, after all, how they learned their native language, and younger children find acquiring a second language no more difficult than their first. The DVD's content is utterly captivating. Throughout, live-action characters Marie, our adult host, and her entourage of perfectly charming children blend seamlessly with truly distinctive animation. The lively, playful verbal interactions put an emphasis on repetition (which is key to learning and comprehension) while the ever-changing visual context engages and entertains. The production values are on a par with top-notch cable and network children's shows. The DVD comes with an easy-to-use translation guide for parents and teachers. --Tillywig Toy and Media Awards
