Review

The Habla Blah Blah songs (CD) provides a wonderful way to interact playfully your child while also introducing to him or her the benefits of music and language... My 2 year old son loves music, but this is the first CD where he was able to join in singing right away. --Kathleen Hipke, Ph.D. Child Psychology, Madison, WI

Product Description

Sing-along music designed for your children to introduce the sounds and words of Spanish... it's simple. It's repetitive. Mostly, it seems like fun and playful music, and then suddenly you're "hablaing" español together! This playful and educational music is comprised of 18 original songs written by an educator-anthropologist-mother, and arranged by a world-renowned musician. It is an organic approach to learning a foreign language for modern parents - children learn to say in *spanish* what would naturally come out of their mouth in their native tongue. English translations in the accompanying playbook and alternating Spanish to English lyrics in many of the songs help you and your child seamlessly learn. Enjoy singing along to the bilingual tunes that describe the whimsical world of childhood -- monkeys falling out of trees (Cuidado), booming elephants (Los Elefantes), tasty food (La Comida, La Torta) and cheersing drinks (Mucho Jugo, Salud), as well as the bilingual tracks (Amigos). This product is intended to be an accessible introduction to Spanish for non-native speakers.

This review is from: Habla blah blah: an introduction the sounds & words of espanol (Audio CD)

My kids immediately started singing along with the catchy tunes. They sing them as they play around the house. My daughter proudly proclaims she speaks spanish now. This cd is a great introduction to the sounds of the spanish language. My children are toddlers. This is an ideal time for them to learn these sounds as they perfect their pronunciations of other english language sounds and blends.

This review is from: Habla blah blah: an introduction the sounds & words of espanol (Audio CD)

I got this CD for my son, (2 1/2 yrs old)... and I've gotten more for friends kids since...The songs are catchy, (and not irritating) for kids, and they're MODERN, so adults like it too!!! It's a giant leap from the old "Cielito Lindo". I really love that there's a authentic Latin flavor done in a kitchy cool way that appeals to cool goofy kids.

Habla blah blah even re-inforced my Spanish! The phrases, vocalizations and vocabulary are useful... My son and I talked about translation because of the CD and I think it helped him understand the big concept that people from different places say and think the same, but use different words (languages) because everyone needs to know... where's the bathroom?

The CD is simple and fun and doesn't seem like a "learning" tool, perfect for young kids. We listen to it in the car all the time, and my son loves to say "habla blah blah" and sings "hola, como estas" etc... I highly recommend this as a cool, fun intro to the Spanish language appropriate for toddlers!!!

This review is from: Habla blah blah: an introduction the sounds & words of espanol (Audio CD)

In my opinion, music is one of the best ways to learn. This CD has done an excellent job introducing a new language to my son. He loves asking for food or drink in Spanish and never passes up the opportunity to use his newfound skills while we're at the zoo, park or just driving around town. Even my mother has picked up some words from listening to this CD. I would highly recommend purchasing this disc for anyone who sees the importance of introducing these sounds while our kids our young.
