Someday, when life is less busy, I just might create some of my own French video resources and Ontario curriculum-correlated activities that homeschoolers can access and use. However, this season in my life does not seem to easily lend itself to planning and completing such a lofty project so, for now, I’ve listed a few online French learning resources. Hopefully some of them will be suitable for your family and ages. The great news is, these are FREE 
- BBC has several streams of French learning depending on your previous experience with the language. Most of what I have seen is created for high school/adults, even the material meant for beginners. Free sign up and you are able to access videos, as well as oral and written practice exercises - http://www.bbc.co.uk/languages/french/
- Great site for beginners with many free videos: http://learnfrenchvideo.com/
- Audio French resources including numbers, days of the week, family relationships and fairy tales translated into French, read by a francophone: http://www.thefrenchexperiment.com/
- One of many Open Learning online options, this free French course for beginners created Carnegie Mellon University’s Open Learning Initiative includes exercises, activities and videos: http://oli.web.cmu.edu/openlearning/forstudents/freecourses/french
Enjoy! À bientôt et joyeux Noël!
