French for homeschool

If you homeschool, the songs give you a ready-made, gently sequenced French vocabulary curriculum: 20 themed units, from greetings and numbers through feelings, weather and days of the week to jobs and travel. Every line comes with its English translation, so you don't need to speak French to teach with it.

Is it a good fit? Suitable for homeschooling children aged about 2–8. It's a song-based vocabulary curriculum, not a complete grammar or reading course.

A unit a week (or two)

Each unit has a handful of songs on one theme. Many homeschooling families take one unit a week: listen daily, sing along, then do one hands-on activity with the words. That gives you a structured year of French that fits around your other subjects.

Cross-curricular by design

The themes overlap with early learning topics you're probably covering anyway: numbers, shapes, colors, seasons, the body, animals, jobs. Use the French songs alongside your math or science topic.

Track progress

The app records songs finished and words learned, which helps if you keep a learning log or portfolio.

Good to know about French: French nouns are masculine or feminine (le / la). Because word endings don't always give it away, it helps to learn every noun together with its article, the way the songs present them.

Songs to anchor each unit

Hand-picked from the French library. Songs marked Free are part of the free first unit; the rest are Premium.

The 32 units, in order

A simple plan: one unit a week, reviewing earlier songs as you go.

Quick tips

Follow the units in order; vocabulary recurs in later songs.
Do one hands-on activity per unit: a color hunt, a shape collage, a family tree in French.
Keep a simple word wall with the French words from each unit.
Review previous units' songs on Fridays.

Questions parents ask

Is this a complete French curriculum?

It's a vocabulary and listening curriculum built on songs. It doesn't teach grammar rules or reading in French systematically, so older children will eventually want more than songs.

Do I need to speak French?

No. Every line shows its English meaning, and the songs go back and forth between English and French, so you can learn alongside your child.
