French for Kids is owned and operated by Alain Augustin, a native of the French Caribbean. He devised his own teaching method after searching for a published method to teach his son French and coming up empty-handed. Starting from the basics of the French alphabet, the method then progresses to vocabulary, reading, comprehension, and grammar, using a combination of provided and recommended materials from Francophone countries across Europe and the Americas which highlight the richness of the language.
Conscious of the fact that children cannot learn a language just by watching videos, singing songs, and memorizing simple sentences, this method focuses on the the building blocks of French necessary to have a working knowledge of the language and to eventually further the student's study of the language independently. Also important to the method are the enthusiasm and motivation of the student and their parents.
Alain's method is ideal for school-aged students who know how to or are learning to read.
