I use these sites to reinforce the Foreign Language curriculum that we either do at home using a tutor or to help my child in middle school who is studying a foreign language. I hope these foreign language sites help your kids too!

Awesome- thank you for this resource. I wonder if I could find a Mandarin tutor around here somewhere…
Hi Jeanette,
I have a friend that teaches via Skype so let me know if you want her info. We used her until she moved away and she’s great.
Thank you for the links. These will come in handy.
Did you see the recent Time magazine article on the “Power of the Bilingual Brain”? WordPress isn’t allowing me to attach the link, but several versions of the article come up when you search.
Thanks so much Vivian. I didn’t see that article but I will read it and link it here: http://science.time.com/2013/07/18/how-the-brain-benefits-from-being-bilingual/
That, it turns out, is very good for the brain. New studies are showing that a multilingual brain is nimbler, quicker, better able to deal with ambiguities, resolve conflicts and even resist Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia longer.
In a polyglot world, a largely monoglot nation like the U.S. is at last moving to catch up — and not a moment too soon.
Thanks. Pinning this so I can look at them later.
Thanks so much Tanya for pinning!
Great resources! We are using Muzzy for French this summer – they’ve made some updates (improvements) to their program.
Thanks for sharing. Had no idea there were so many online.
Thanks Barbara! Sites for kids are harder to find so wanted to share.
My daughter was asking me lately to restart Russian with her. I am hoping that one day she will want to learn Chinese as well 🙂 Thanks for the reference!
Hi Natalie,
How wonderful your daughter wants to learn Russian! Let me know if you need sites for that.
