Teach Me Tapes-Spanish CD

My 3- & 5-yr olds like these CDs. We listen in the car, and they sing right along. I do not speak Spanish, but am picking some up. They have Spanish "lessons" at their preschool, so this is a nice way to enhance that activity.

The "Teach Me" series is a great way to introduce a second language to little ones. The songs on "Teach Me Spanish" are adorable and they are sung in both English and Spanish so that children can make meaningful connections between the two languages. It is not too overwhelming with lists of vocabulary and grammar. However, if a child learns even one song on the tape, she learns a list of at least 10-15 vocabulary words, grammatically correct sentence structure and fluid, correct pronunciation. Age-appropriate for even preschoolers, because it is learning through music and is fun.

Lively music, familiar tunes. Too fast for language learners to follow. I listen and learn the songs in my car, then teach them to my students. I bought the other two (Teach me more Spanish, and Teach me even more Spanish) and I and my kids love them all!

There is one song and dialog for each month of the year.

When I was Six and a half, my family went to Paraguay to adopt my sister. For those of you that don't know, In paraguay they speak Spanish. So that I could communicate in Paraguay, Mom Bought me a copy of Teach Me Spanish. We played the tape in my grandmother's car on the way to the airport to catch the plane. I loved it, but sadly, I have lost it. It's got La Cucaracha, The Wheels on the Car, The More We Get Together, and Many other childrens songs sung in English and Spanish. And the Teach Me series has songs sung in Spanish, French, German, and Believe it or Not Japanese, Mrs Mahoney, Could you do one in Czeck, for those going to Czeckoslovakia? (I don't know if I'm Spelling it Right) You would change the world
