5.0 out of 5 stars Good Singing, February 8, 2002

This review is from: Teach Me Spanish (Paperback and Audio Cassette): A Musical Journey Through the Day (Audio Cassette)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great way to introduce second language to little ones!, January 16, 2005

This review is from: Teach Me Spanish (Paperback and Audio Cassette): A Musical Journey Through the Day (Audio Cassette)

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.

2.0 out of 5 stars Bad sound quality and singing..., October 3, 2007

By

This review is from: Teach Me Spanish (Paperback and Audio CD): A Musical Journey Through the Day (Paperback)

I had bought this CD for my daughter because of the great reviews on Amazon. I love the idea of it and the selection of songs is very appropriate and fun.

I was VERY disappointed, though, in the sound quality and especially the fact that the singing is often out of tune. I honestly can't bear to hear the CD for more than a few minutes. Because of that I feel like it was a waste of money.
