4.0 out of 5 stars annoying voice, but good songs, June 14, 2006

This review is from: Sing 'n Learn Korean: Introduce Korean with Favorite Children's Songs / Norae Hamyo Paeunun Hangugo (Book & Cassette) (Paperback)

if you can get past the female vocalist's singing voice (which my husband disparagingly refers to as church singing), this is actually a very nice collection of songs. most are familiar western children's melodies, like 'old macdonald', 'mary had a little lamb', and 'london bridge' with korean lyrics. some of these lyrics are translations of the english lyrics, but others are not. the remainder of the songs are traditional korean children's songs that i remember singing when i was little. the best thing is that my [...] daughter is actually picking up some korean from these songs and she loves to listen to the CD, which is a full 45 minutes of entertainment. definitely recommended!

My child just loves this professionally done book with CD. He is just starting to learn his Korean, and loves the songs. A great way to introduce the language to children.

This is great for kids AND adults who are familiar with (or want to become familiar with) Korean. It contains typical American children's songs sung in Korean.
