Part 1 – No matter where you are on your French journey, one thing’s certain: the key to success is practice, practice, practice. This is the first in a series of fun activities – including books, music, podcasts and more – that I will be posting over the coming days. To get the full list to your inbox, pop your email below.

🎧 Listen & Watch

🎬Watch a French cartoon or film with subtitles.

Here are some recommendations:

• Astérix (PG) cartoons on Netflix or Prime.
• Family Pack (12) is a comedy about a modern family launched back to medieval times (Netflix)
• Award winning films Kirikou (U), A Cat in Paris (PG) and Un monstre à Paris (U) on Prime.
• Other great films to look out for: Le Petit Nicolas, Ma vie de Courgette and Les Choristes (I promise the whole family will love the latter!).

Do you have your own recommendation for a series or film? Please let me know in the comments.
