French website for kids and parents

If you haven't already stumbled across it, then check out:

http://www.momes.net/

It is a French educational site for kids and parents. There are all sorts of good things on there: French songs and nursery rhymes, and "Mini Dossiers" on topics such as pocket money, French festivals and school.

One stop shop for flashcards

I've just discovered a Flashcard making section on the Real French website. You can choose whether to print the flashcards with or without the French word or phrase on there, and most S1 and S2 topics are covered. The link is:

This will certainly save hunting around on Google images to create a set of Flashcards.

There is a specific area on Spanish too, with ready made presentations, booklets and posters.
