5.0 out of 5 stars This is *the best* Spanish cd for young children, September 15, 2006
By 
V (Santa Cruz, California) - See all my reviews
It is hard to describe in a few paragraphs how excellent this cd is and how much I like it. Ana Lomba has created the perfect preschool Spanish class in cd form. Instead of the same dorky English-translated-into-Spanish songs that lack authenticity, Hop, Skip, and Sing Spanish uses real poems and games from Spanish Speaking countries. The poems are simple and singable, and are full of grammatical information that kids pick up on without trying. As an adult I need to see the written text (which is done simply and clearly in this set), but the kids just listen to it and learn it.

Each poem or game starts with a track that introduces vocabulary (think Pimsleur for kids). The next track has just the poem or game in Spanish. The sound quality is excellent.

My kids' knowledge and use (and motivation) of Spanish doubled in just a few weeks - after having studied Spanish for a couple years! I also recommend her book Play and Learn Spanish, which has different content and is equally excellent. I would especially recommend this product to homeschoolers.

4.0 out of 5 stars Spanish of Spain, October 27, 2006
It was probably noted somewhere but missed by me: Ana is from Spain and uses the vocabulary and pronunciation from that country. (see: lots and lots of theta; a bit disconcerting for a latinoamerican type like me)

5.0 out of 5 stars Very engaging, December 31, 2006
This CD can keep a kid very engaged for a long period of time, unlike most other products, where the kid will lose interest in less than 2 minutes. The fact that the instructor speaks Spanish from Spain was also a plus, considering the shortage of similar products in US. Cannot wait for more CDs from the same group.

More About the Author

Ana Lomba is changing the way people think about and interact with young children learning languages. Her Parents' Choice award winning books Play and Learn Spanish and Play and Learn French are quickly becoming bestselling favorites with parents (and grandparents) who want to nurture their kids' innate language abilities and propel them to real fluency. Her lively stories, music, and games allow parents and educators to engage the whole child into a new language.

Key to the success of Ana's innovative approach is her focus on the family as the ideal environment for early language learning - even her signature curriculum for language schools is built with parental involvement in mind.

Another important element is the challenging factor - we are not just talking about flashcards and coloring books, but a whole system designed to stimulate young kids' intellect and imagination into language learning (and beyond). Within this system, parents operate as language educators, which means that they have to challenge themselves as well! The good news is that - for the most part - parents today are ready for and looking forward to the task because they understand their critical role in their kids' education, and they know that the best possible education today IS an international education.

Visit www.analomba.com to learn more about Ana's curriculum for language schools as well as her new multimedia audiobooks in Spanish, French, Chinese and English.

Ana Lomba has taught preschool, elementary, and college-level Spanish courses, and held leadership positions with some of the most influential language organizations in the US, including ACTFL, NNELL, and FLENJ. After graduating with a law degree from Spain, her native country, Ana pursued graduate studies at Binghamton University, Princeton University, and NYU. She founded her company, Ana Lomba Early Languages LLC, in 1999. She lives with her husband and three children in Princeton, NJ.
