2Simple French

IWB dedicated software for early French, a product by the publisher of digital materials 2Simple.

"2Simple French" is a software suite with lots of activities for learning French with a special focus on  vocabulary.

2Simple

This is how the publisher 2Simple , winner of the BETT 2009 Award for ICT Company of the Year, describes the contents:

  • The French units including ‘My Family’, ‘Animals’, ‘Food’ and ‘Colour’ are enhanced with interactive games for the whole class, pairs or individuals as well as activities to explore French culture.
  • 2Simple French also has many creative screens where children use tools, clipart, French phrases or free typing to create cards, cartoons, diaries or posters to apply the language they have learnt.


I can recommend viewing the video as it provides a good impression of the activity types and their contents.
