I don't agree with showing learners spelling mistakes when they first encounter a word as it creates confusion. Not impressed with the characters' elocution either! Signed: a French mum
I don't either, but it is corrected at the end, and with older children in class would be good when focusing on the sound 'é' and its different spellings. For my Year 5 and 6 who choose to watch independently at home, I'm really more interested in their spotting the food vocabulary, and I'm happy for them to hear a range of ages, accents and speaking styles, as this gives them a much more authentic experience of spoken French than they are able to get from just one (non-native) teacher in school. The more French they hear the better. Thanks for the comment!
