: French with French kids comics for children learning review Learning another language is a great way for children to learn about other cultures around the world and French is a popular language spoken in many countries on different continents. Learn French, like any second language can be intimidating, so it is important to provide additional resources that they find enjoyable and challenging, which are separated from their traditional textbooks.
One way to help children connect with another language in a relaxed manner is the comic strip. The cartoons are a universal form of literature that children are introduced to at a young age and tend to like immediately. Comics game dynamic and fun images with a small amount of words, usually in the form of a dialogue familiar. With so few words on a blank page and image to help understanding the story, children are not overwhelmed and encouraged to identify what the words mean.
Like most children, children love the comic French and you can find a large selection of comic books in French on Internet sites such as Amazon's UK website, which is also easy to order from their U.S. site. Children who speak English will be drawn to comics in a foreign language the same way they are drawn to comics in English. The images draw the inside and are motivated to identify words.
Some of the comics recommended for young readers are Yakari (by Derib and Job), Garfield and Star Wars Adventures. All these comics are intended for young French readers aged 6 +. There are some colorful pictures and words. The vocabulary is limited and the level you expect from a similar book for young readers English.
To help research on the Amazon site for UK comics in French attempt to add the following terms. The term graphic novel or comic book in French is comic, short for comic book and the term volume Tome. You can see that the search of BD comes with more selections Mature therefore begin with the words "Volume" and one of the titles suggested above.
So if you can not find a volume of Yakari in French (as it is also available in English), you can try a search for "Yakari" Vol. Yakari is also available in book based prose make sure you choose the version in comics.
Helping young people to love the language of life is to help them realize that people share similar thoughts in the country and feelings, and discover the comic we all love can help in this process.
