Hi
Are there any good apps, websites, you tube channels, programmes, etc for kids who want to be exposed to languages?
My 7yo wants to learn more spanish as he has spanish friends and the 3yo is obsessed with speaking what she says is French.... (sounds are similar so she has picked up some words from somewhere!!!)

This is a lovely CD and book of Spanish/ Latin American folk songs. My kids know lots of them by heart.

Duolingo is very kid-friendly and fun for beginners, with lots of features to keep them motivated. Gets less good as you get more experienced but it is a fun starting point.

We've been using Duolingo here too, my 8 year old has really enjoyed it so far

We looked at Duolingo but there is too much reading for my 8 year old, but he has been liking Rosetta Stone and asks to do it now; it's free at the moment.
