Pedagogical Evaluation

Summarize the content of the program:
 Kids, teens and even adults will enjoy the game and can really learn a great deal of French, over 1,200 words in all. Players race their cars across France, stopping along the way to have conversations with the locals, play games and practice their skills.

Describe how you might use the resource with learners:
I would recommend it for current first year French students or beyond (they must know a little french to understand part of the game).
