Teaching French to kids
As demonstrated in a recent study from the European Commission, the learning of a foreign language starts at an earlier age. In primary schools, foreign languages are often taught by generalist teachers, who will find some resources in this file (teachers' notes, youth literature, websites…), some lines of thoughts as well as stories from other teachers.
