Description: This site provides students with a
fantastic overview of French grammar. The site is very
well-organized in terms of layout and design. Students can learn
and review grammar points by following the story of Tex the
Armadillo. The site also has PDF, MP3, and iTunes podcasts
available for students or teachers to download and use to teach or
review grammar points. This site was very informative and a lot of
fun! It actually made learning grammar fun! This site was not
immediately found. It appeared on the second page on AlltheWeb.com;
however I believe this site is a hidden jewel that is waiting to be
discovered. I would highly recommend this site to all French
teachers and their students.
