This site has a video series called La Francomobile  where a family is traveling in “the Francomobile” and discuss topics like “food,” “clothing,” and “feelings.”

Pros:

  • Exposure to various common topics spoken fluently.
  • The children in the videos are similar ages to our intermediate students.
  • The videos are short, and incorporate a lot of expression, common language, and actions to supplement the understanding.

Cons:

  • They speak fluently – so unless the teacher is facilitating the video by pausing and discussing what is happening, it may be challenging for beginner French learners to follow the conversations.

Francolab junior has two other video series geared towards elementary age viewers, so check them out!
