Looking for recommendation for online foreign language learning for kids

Anonymous
I am native french speaking but my french is rusty. I would like my kids to start learning french online in a more structured way (on top of me trying to speak french to them). Does anyone has recommendations for successfully teaching their kids a foreign language online?
I have looked into Rosetta kids, littlepim, dinolingo. Anyone has any experience with this or any other website that they would recommend?
Would also like recommendation on other ways to get your kids started in a foreign language. My kids are 5 & 3.

TIA

I think the goal for that age is going to be conversational skills, and for that you need a human, not an app. We've been happy with Homeschool Spanish Academy, but my youngest was older than your oldest when we started, so I don't actually know if they work with preschoolers.

OK, I'm an idiot, I realized that you don't want any online foreign language, you specifically want French. You're probably not going to be surprised to know that Homeschool SPANISH Academy does not specialize in French. So, my suggestion was a terrible one.

Having said that, something similar -- online 1:1 or 1:2 classes with both kids learning together from a live teacher is your best bet.

OP here, I was thinking a combination of me speaking french to them and online classes will do for now? I see lot of french tutors online but those specialized in younger kids seem hard to find.

You could check iTalki but I'm not sure if you'll find someone for that age. You probably could find someone on Outschool.

Check out Concordia Language Schools. Located in Minnesota. Going virtual. Highly regarded.

Thanks for this, Outschool looks pretty good so far.
