Teacher Review
Jolie is full of French flair in her fuchsia satin miniskirt, black-and-white striped shirt, and black velvet beret and matching velvet shoes. She is 16 inches tall, with crinkled, yellow yarn hair, embroidered facial features, and a soft stuffed body made of velour fabric. When her right hand is squeezed, Jolie says six basic phrases, first in English and then in French, introducing herself, and saying that she likes to shop for clothes and wants to be a designer. When her left hand is pressed, Jolie says her favorite colors and the days of the week in English and French. She says "I love you" when the heart on her knee is pressed. The little girl's voice used for the recording has a cheery sound and a pleasant French accent, which doesn't get irritating even after lots of foreign language practice. Similar dolls that speak in other languages are also available. Three AA batteries are included. --Marcie Bovetz, mother and former children's librarian

Give Your Child A Great Start!,

This review is from: Jolie Speaks French Doll (Toy)
While this doll is by no means a substitute for a year of college French, it is a great catalyst to get your young child interested in foreign language. Based on my experiences learning and teaching at the college level, I can assure you, the greatest educational gift a parent can give a child is a head-start in foreign language! Foreign language becomes harder to learn and maintain the older someone is (even middle school is too late), and these dolls are made for the age group which adopts languages the easiest. Forget Baby Mozart, if you want to give your child an edge in education, get them one of these dolls and enroll them in a language immersion school or afterschool program. If the phrases of the French doll aspiring to design clothes bothers you, why not check out the Italian doll who wants to be a soccer star, the Greek doll who has Olympic dreams or the German doll who expresses her love of animals.

Jolie Language Little,

This review is from: Jolie Speaks French Doll (Toy)
My Mom bought this for our 6 year daughter as she is starting French Club at her school. The doll is very cute although it is sometimes difficult to understand the pronounciation of the French phrases. She lists days of the week, colors, greeting phrases plus "I love you". The accompanying book is a great help! It would be nice if Jolie also included counting 1-10.

Jolie Speaks,
By Ambiorix "AmbiorixDublin" (Ireland) - See all my reviews
= Durability:4.0 out of 5 stars = Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars = Educational:5.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: Jolie Speaks French Doll (Toy)
Jolie Speaks French Doll is a great toy for little girls. It has all the right cuddly appeal as a soft doll. The voice box is weak and hard to hear and there should be more pressure points to activate speech. The idea is good but the execution of the product engineering is poor. With modern communications and electronics the voice box and recorded speech should be 300% smarter. You are paying a high price for a poorly executed gimmick. Marks out of 10: Visual and handling = 8, Technology and functionability = 2.5
