Reader Reviews:

The singing is BAD- but my children love the tape!! (1/1 people found this helpful)

The singing performed by Janet Irwin and her french colleagues is almost too bad to be true, some of the songs in French are running way too fast for my 5year old - but both my children (5 and 2) love the tape and have indeed picked up some French and can both sing 'Frere Jacques' and 'Sur le pont d'Avignon' as well as count up to 10 and remember some colours; I guess from their point of view the tape must therefore be rated a success!

Let's Sing in French (25/25 people found this helpful)

I can't believe that anyone has ever managed to learn a word of French from this. It's really unpleasant to listen to, the pace is much too fast and around 50% of the content is in English. My copy went in the bin after 2 days.

Let's Sing in French - could do better? (8/8 people found this helpful)

I found this tape extremely disappointing. The children (who usually love song tapes) were quickly bored by the very repetitive content. The style of presentation, no doubt intended to encourage, came across as rather condescending and there was altogether too much English for a French song tape.

The woman cannot sing! (3/3 people found this helpful)

Although I agree with the other reviewers that the content of this tape is satisfactory I cannot believe they are able to listen to a note. I am not a musician, but the shrill voice that leads the tape is absolutely unbearable. I am in the provess of trying to return this cassette!

QUITE GOOD (6/6 people found this helpful)

This tape is composed of well known french children's songs as well as guidance and teaching so it is quite easy to follow and understand what's going on and children will not get lost. The choice of songs is also good - they are melodical and with a specific topics (animals, colors, days of the weeks...)
On the other half of side-2 they play only music of all the songs for children to have an opportunity to practice their singing, however, I regard this as a negative point because my kids (age 5 and 1.5) just hmmmmed for a short while and then lost interest. We had to keep skipping this part of the tape (1/4 of the tape!!) and it is such a vaste.
Overall, the tape managed to 'glue' something on my kids and they enjoyed listening to this tape. Not a bad way to start learnig French.
