Recommendation:

This is a very engaging site for language learning. It is a true multimedia experience. Viewers connect with real college students from Texas who are in France. The combination of the videos, vocabulary and activities are all upbeat, interesting and will sustain high school students´ attention. The video, audio pronunciations, information and activities are all of good quality. Some of the activities utilize further French resources on the Internet, which may require some assistance depending on the level of French used.
