6 French Netflix Shows to Help Your Child in French Immersion

My son is in grade 2 French Immersion and seems to be enjoying it. When he first started, he would randomly start singing French songs while he was playing and I took that as a good sign.

This year my daughter started Kindergarten French Immersion. It’s only been two weeks and so far so good.

One of the recommendations from a teacher was to let the kids watch French shows on TV to help them with the language. Most kids enjoy television so getting them to watch their favorite shows in French seemed like a great idea!

The kids were resistant to watching their favorite shows in French but it was a better option than not watching TV. I’m sure the more they do it, the better it’ll get.

I did a little research and found out that Netflix actually has French dubbing for lots of the kids’ favorite shows. And it’s pretty simple to access the dubbed shows. When you click on the show you want to watch a menu comes up. In that menu select Audio and Subtitles. For audio choose French. You can also pick English for subtitles if your kids like to read it.
