Hello World is a program schoolteachers developed to help their students learn languages. As it is geared for a younger audience, adults may have a hard time with the cartoonish appearance and elementary activities, but it is a helpful tool for any learner at any age. The additional features available through Hello World are unique and refreshing, making even a small look at the program worthwhile.

The teaching tools that Hello World employs are standard and fairly routine; games, activities, flash cards and reviews. The basic program includes a medium sized database of words and audio files of different French words that you can use to build your own set of vocabulary. It’s also very useful if you’re looking for a specific French word for pronunciation tips and word definitions.

Hello World provides a large amount of creative supplemental materials. One impressive feature is a collection of French songs sung by native speakers. This feature alone is a great bridge to understanding French culture and learning about their customs and traditions. Additional features include games, activities, and subject-specific review sections.

In this program, you will learn the language in a basic sense and without a large community. The majority of the community you will be experiencing will be through the introduction to the French community, but no inter-student community is available.

Hello World has a section devoted to FAQs and technical support, but this page was offline for the duration of the review period.
