Following on from my thread of a few weeks' ago, where I described my dd's experiences of starting to learn French in year 7, and of my shock at how low the standard was and how little she appeared to have learned/understood esp grammatically, I wondered if anyone could recommend any language learning CDs/books/packages/software/games, or online resources, etc?
When the kids were little we tried Spanish Muzzy as we go to Spain quite frequently - it seemed fairly pants and not worth the money (even though we got it second hand). I've recently bought my dd a book and CDs off Amazon, just really to get her to listen to the sounds of the language as her accent was so horrible - too early days yet to say if that works... had a quick look at reviews for Rosetta Stone but, huge cost aside, it doesn't sound very good.
So - anyone else? I'm looking specifically at French at secondary level, but if anyone can recommend stuff for German or Spanish at primary or secondary level, too, I'd be very interested.
Thanks.
