Sometimes hearing a language is all a child needs to begin learning it. There are twenty-one Tintin and six Asterix videos available in French, as well as Babar, Madeline, and other animated programs. Watching these famous characters is a wonderful way for a child to become acclimated to the rhythms and tones of the language. If they can’t teach your young recipient French, they can make the possibility of learning French seem both tantalizing and fun.
