This CD has great audio quality and great content. My girls like it just fine. I didn't give it 5 stars because I feel, as a native Chinese Madarin speaker, some of the musical arrangements are kind of weird. Also, some of the nursery rhymes that I grew up with are butchered (either incomplete or completely changed). But overall, it's a great first CD for the little ones to be exposed to the language.
Pleasantly surprised with the accompanying written material included with this CD. It provides a broad overview of Mandarin that can be played for a newborn to expose the child to the language at several levels.
My baby loves this CD. She is 4 months old and loves to listen as we bounce and play with her. It is amazing how much she seems to zone into the music and speech. Time will tell if this is helping her learn Chinese, but she is really listening and hopefully picking up the sounds of the chinese language.
We have several Chinese CDs and this is the one I'm always reaching for. It is very well done. I love how it incorporates both songs and spoken Mandarin.
A lot of research about the linguistic development of babies goes into Living Language's Baby First Words products. In this CD, the sounds of the Chinese language are presented through poems and traditional Chinese songs. It is easy on the ears and well produced. While this is geared at 0-2 year olds,I would also recommend it for older kids. My son is 3 and he has definitely picked up on the songs and words. SIMILAR ITEMS: |
