REVIEW:
The Embassy of France: Just for Kids is a good starting point for students to get a glimpse of the country and culture or for teachers wanting quick facts to add to an area study. The content is organized into seven sections: France at a Glance, History and Geography,Culture and Art, Economy, Life in France, Apprends le France and Jeux Games. Students who are studying the French language can practice their skills by reading the articles from a French children's magazine. Although they are written entirely in French, each story has clickable words that display their English equivalents to help with understanding. Visitors to the site can also listen to an interview with the French ambassador or an audio clip of the national anthem.
