This video is *excellent*. My daughter started watching these as a baby [I left them playing in the background so she would be used to hearing Spanish] and they still entertain her as a three year old. The songs are extremely catchy, sung in Spanish and English with both the Spanish and English words at the bottom of the screen. My daughter really liked the bright colors and the kids engaging in all their activities that go along with the songs. She learned the songs and went around singing them, and I feel that this has given her a firm foundation for later learning to be fluent in Spanish.

As a side note, my husband started learning Spanish as well, just from hearing the tape over and over! Now he even speaks some rudimentary Spanish without even really trying to learn it. I'd recommend this video for any family that is trying to learn Spanish - it is wonderful!

Lyric Language Spanish/English, Series 2 is the 2nd video tape in the Lyric Language series.

The melodies are catchy. The sentences are simple--but beautiful and authentic.

The subjects are enchanting and taken from everyday events:

There is a River, Let's go on a picnic, Let's take a walk in the Forest, When the Circus Comes to Town, I live in the city (clap your hands to the rhythm of the city), the opposites song, etc.

I have successfully used the series in teaching children German. The children are attentive and enjoy the tapes, which make excellent introductions to concepts.

Now, I have been assigned to a school where 20% of the incoming students do not speak English--so I am learning Spanish from these beautiful tapes. The songs are so wonderful that I can listen to them for hours while I do other tasks. And after only two days of (intensive) listening, I am beginning to sing them in my head even when I am not listening to the tapes.

The quality of the photography is excellent. The themes are child oriented and interesting. They hold the audience's attention.

I find them charming and useful. I appreciate their warm family orientation. They are the best thing I have come accross on the market for teaching foreigh language.

Nice if bit boring video for children from the age of 6. Showing impressions of children and families and accompanying songs. Every line is sang and undertitled in both Spanish and English. Spanish is not very well articulated and requires children to have certain knowledge of Spanish in order to understand and try to speak/sing themselves. It was not the video I wanted for my toddler but may very well be the one parents of older children are loooking for.

This is a wonderful video for teaching your children Spanish. The songs and accompanying videos are entertaining (the songs in particular), and having the written text below is a great help. I was worried that some of the words went by too fast for my 2yr. old to pick up, but she proved me wrong by starting to sing parts of some of the songs. Six months later, she is using some of the phrases in conversation. What more can I say?
