This is a great vocabulary builder in French, Spanish, Russian, Mandarin, etc. I introduced it in the lab and my students loved it. There are many topics and when you put the cursor on the picture it tells you by words and pronunciation what it is in the target language.

This is such a great website for my students! I was really excited to find this resource. I took my beginning French students to the lab today and they loved it. I will also share it with the Spanish teachers. Merci!
