Beth Manners' Fun Spanish for Kids: ages 2-6

I got this when my daughter was 2.5yrs and had a good start on spanish already. She liked it, but I hoped it would teach her more (and me too). It's really only good for car rides, not at home. It won't keep her attention at home.

The kids like to listen to it, but not enough to want to commit to memory. I guess it's just not catchy enough! Ie. Sesame street had a skit on one episode where they sing "you say, 'me llamo'...". It was catchy, so it made it easy to remember. I think I'm going to keep looking for something like that. This cd covers ALOT in 30 min- ie. food nouns, introducing one's self, how to say "i'm thirsty, i'm hungry" verb conjugation of comer (to eat)and hablar (to talk or speak), pronouns, the weather... I think it focuses on too many topics instead of taking 1 concept at a time and making that concept easy to learn. Remember-this is for 2 years old AS WELL as for 6 years-that's a pretty wide range. it may work for a 6 year old but for english speaking 2 year olds -they're still learning those topics in english.

...but this cd drives me crazy. I just can't stomach the schoolmarmy tone. The songs are the best part. When my little girl gets her own cd player, I'll bring this one back out and she can listen to it in her room.

This cd was just ok, my kid likes it and like any other cd she has, she sings along.I really can't say much else, nothing to rave about,it was just ok.

I had bought the Beth Manners's French CDs for my daughter's kids, however my sons children are learning Spanish . So I gave this CD a try and what success. They always ask for it - very age appropriate and just a delight. Lots of practical phrases. Give it a try.
