Anyone who would like their child to learn French or English should give http://www.uptoten.com a try. It is fun and engaging material, and most of it free. Steve

Thanks for the tip Steve! UpToTen is a fun site with beautiful graphics and great sound effects. The purpose is not to teach languages, but to be educational in general, which is still always a welcome thing!! From a language perspective, the child should ideally be able to read to really benefit from this site — not much spoken language in the games (at least the free portion). So, excellent French/English language source for the older set, and apparently some Dutch, Italian and Spanish as well in the premium section. The subscription for the premium section is currently $50 per year. /Christina

Hi, We have uptoten.com (Boowa & Kwala) as a homepage. We paid for the subscription for 6 months but really the free stuff is just as good. I have found this site to be absolutely fantastic and my boys love it. I can’t recommend it enough to anyone who wants to start their little ones with the french or english language. We have also bought t/shirts and towels because my kids love it so much and because it is different. I have also learnt some interesting phrases in french. I would also recommend that adults play alongside their child to see what’s happening. What a great learning source for language and also to get started on the computer. C’est incroyable!
