Tips for parents
- Use the greeting for real: say the French good-morning word at breakfast and the good-night word at bedtime, so the song turns into a daily ritual.
- Model the polite words at the table. When your child says please or thank you in French, answer in French too; that small win matters more than a perfect accent.
- Wave, bow or high-five on each greeting in the song. A gesture tied to a word makes it easier to recall without the music.
Questions parents ask
- Why start with greeting songs?
- Greetings are short, repeated every day and instantly useful, so children get to use them straight away with family. That early success makes the next topics feel easy.

- 19 key words and phrases, including bonjour (good morning), comment ça va ? (how are you?), très bien (very well), merci (thank you), salut (hello), bien (good), jouons ! (let's play!), s'il te plaît (please). The full list is above, and every song page shows the complete lyrics with translation.
- Are the French greeting songs free?
- Yes. This is the free unit: all 6 songs can be played on their song pages and in the app, free forever, no card needed.
- How long are the songs?
- Between 1:15 and 2:12 each, about 11 minutes for all 6. Short enough to replay, which is where most of the learning happens.
