EDITORIAL REVIEW



One of the oldest and best ways to teach kids languages, updated for the 21st century



Grownups have been using simple songs to teach young children the rudiments of languages since long before people danced sur le pont d'Avignon. Now the Let's Sing and Learn series, CD Editions brings that tried-and-true method up-to-date for today's modern kid. Each book/CD set contains collection of 20 original songs that combine catchy melodies with simple, cleverly-disguised lessoning vocabulary and expression.



Written by accomplished songwriter-linguists, the songs cover a variety of subjects, including greetings, colors, counting, the alphabet, the days of the month, relationships, and more. And most importantly, the songs are easy to learn and fun to sing, making them the perfect medium for introducing children, ages three to six, to the words, accents, and rhythms of other languages.



Each book/CD set includes:

  • 20 original tunes covering an array of everyday subjects
  • A CD recording of the songs that provides a model of proper pronunciation and rhythm
  • Simple musical scores that parents and teachers can use to accompany young learners
  • English translations for each song and suggested actions

This is a fantastic addition to the classroom and at home. 97% of the songs are fun and easy to learn. My children love the songs.

Excellent book and CD

We use the CD to wake the kids in the morning and one of them hums and sings the Spanish songs on the way to breakfast. I'm not sure if they will wind up learning Spanish but the book and CD have sparked an interest that we hope to pursue.

CD sung by non-native speakers.

Call me a purist but if you're going to learn to speak a language it should be from a native speaker. Although, the songs are cute they are sung by children with an english accent. I want my child to hear a native speaker.

Only if you already know Spanish

This may be ok if you already know Spanish...but if you know VERY little or none...you'll be singing a lame song and not even know what you're singing...I thought it would sing in Spanish and English to help you "LEARN" Spanish but Nope. My Boys hated it!!! Try something else!!!

No a help

Listen closely to what others are writing - this is ssssooo basic and poorly recorded that it really is of no help. If you have the book it may be a bit easier.
I actually got this for myself to help me with my own pronuciation and you can hardly hear what the young voices are saying. Sorry I got it but my 4 month old niece likes it.
