Advantages: Funny story
Disadvantages: None

...When I was on holiday a couple of weeks ago for some reason I suddenly decided I want to buy The Full Monty on DVD when I got back. I am not sure where this came from, maybe it was from seeing so many near naked bodies by the pool? Anyway.... The Full Monty originally came out in 1997, and was a film I enjoyed watching as a youngster. I recently went into Asda and found this DVD for 4 pounds and so purchased straight away.

Advantages: A great way to introduce young children to a foreign language
Disadvantages: There is no written language at all on screen

It is an enjoyable way of teaching, and parents can sit and relax with their children whilst watching. They can learn about families, daily routine, as well as a few extra topics that are brought in such as animals. Children are likely to find it fun and ask to watch again and again, which will allow them to absorb French words and phrases naturally, without even trying. Three is said to be the optimum age for language learning, and this DVD would give children a wonderful start towards more formal language study at a later stage in their education. I have used it successfully in a nursery setting, and would recommend it for home use as well.... Read review
