<p>Thank you all for the help. I have one more question about article in the question.</p>
<p>I have a test in the app where the question asked. The template of the question in English is:</p>
<p><strong>Where is the *?</strong></p>
<p>For example: Where is the cat? Where is the Dog?</p>
<p>The translator offers the template for such question:</p>

<p>Où est le chat? Où est le Libellule? Où est le Autruche? Où est le Automne?</p>
<p>(kid should choose the correct picture)</p>

<p>The articles are required in sentences, you can't say: "regarde poisson" <br></br>but you should say "regarde le/ce poisson".<br></br><br></br>If you would like to teach the names only, without giving informations about the gender, you don't need articles, else, it could be very useful for kids to learn easily. I translated it for you, look at the xlsx.</p>

<p>Thanks for explanation and suggestion. If the app contain text only - no problem. But app also contains the dictated names (voice messages) and I should inform the dictator how to tell: "chat" or "le chat"</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>It's very informative note. In fact, every foreign French teacher told me that articles are required. And it seems it's required mostly for learning foreigners.</p>
<p>Does it mean, that when you teach the 2-year kid, you tell him: CHAT (no "le chat")</p>
<p>How the kid will know the gender of this animal in that case?</p>

<p>Hey :)</p>
<p>I'm a french native speaker and i confirm as the articles are not really necessary in your app.<br></br>When you're saying as you found only french flesh cards with articles, this is because the english word for them have an article.</p>
<p>For exemple: "l'orange" is getting the "l'" article because this is THE orange.<br></br>You can say: "Une orange" if your translation is: AN orange.<br></br>But in your app, you're not adding any article before your these words.<br></br><br></br>cat = chat.…</p>

<p>I think it may be a question of audience. Flash cards for native French children would probably not have the article. But for foreign language learners, there is a tendency to include the article even though it can sound a bit unnatural to native speakers, just because learning the gender of words is thought to be important in the initial stages.</p>

<p>But... I think you could take the view that, even for non-native children, at that age, the gender isn't so important -- they can get used to the basic word and then the gender/article will come later.</p>

Translator is right, articles are not necessary for this app.
