French in Action is a video program designed for Yale University. It's made up of 52 half hour videos, spoken completely in French, that attempt to teach beginning students using an immersion method. I've found it to be a good overall approach, especially when supplemented with a beginning grammar book.

For a more motivated student, the Foreign Student Institute provides an intensive method of study. This method was designed by the US government for diplomats who had to learn a foreign language very quickly and couldn't go to different countries for a safety reasons. It is a bit boring though, and would probably be better for adult learners (if, for instance, you want to brush up on French as well).

How to learn any language, as well as it's forum, are directed towards self study, and you can interact with people who have successfully learned French on their own. There are even threads for teaching your children another language.

French is a great language, and fluency can be attained with time and effort. Bonne chance!

Answer 3

from personal experience, children only begin to learn french in primary 6. this is probably due to the work done by Piaget, an genetic epistimologist, whom came to the conclusion that children have to biologically mature in order to learn.

most children of age 5years, do not have a firm grasp of the english language, and therefore would not be physically mature enough to learn french. due to their brain still being too young to handle the information.

also, as i have studied the french language myself, an understanding of the english language is needed to fully comprehend another language. if you start teaching your child french too soon they may confuse the two languages. therefore i would suggest waiting for another few years before attempting to teach your son French.
