My French Picture Dictionary

Today's FamilyFirst review is going to be short and sweet. That's because the site we are reviewing is likewise short and sweet.

It's called My French Picture Dictionary. Its premise is simple: learn French through seeing pictures of the items represented by the French words.

You can click on pictures to see the French words, or go to a text listing.

Regardless, you will have a small graphical image, followed by the English and French words for the object.

For instance, clicking on a picture of a familiar gas-filled latex sphere provides you with a closeup of the item in question, plus these words: balloon, and le ballon.

Wow, that's all there is to French? Just drop an occasional vowel?

Well, unfortunately no. You also have to talk like Maurice Chevalier. Example: “Would you like to see my ballon? Hoh hoh hoh (you know that laugh, right?).

Seriously, you can learn a lot of French words at this site. It's really kind of addictive.

The webmaster sums things up best:
