Product Description
Baby's First Steps in Spanish is a great way to invigorate babies' minds and give them an extra edge for learning down the line.

Created by an expert in linguistics, this program is based on well-known and proven principles of language development in young children. Babies and toddlers have a natural gift for languages. They learn them effortlessly, and, unlike adults, they can make the sounds of any language in the world.

The audio CD surrounds babies with the sounds of Spanish through soothing lullabies, songs, rhymes, words, and phrases. The accompanying book for parents is entertaining, informative, and explains exactly what's going on in their baby's head. Best of all, the program is easy and relaxing--perfect for new parents with so little time (and energy) to spare.

Key Features:
* The program is based on established and accepted research in child language development
* For newborns to 24 months
* The book is fun and easy, and requires little time
* The CD can be used in baby's nursery or on the go

Includes:
60-minute audio CD, 80-page book and 16-page lyric sheet

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun to listen to-, September 9, 2001
This is a wonderful way to expose your children to Spanish. Although it is designed for babies, I listen to it with my kids who are older (6 and 2). The songs are actual spanish songs, not songs that have been translated into spanish. They are short (great for the little ones) and the words can be clearly heard (not true for many language tapes). There are songs and rhymes on this, and the whole CD is pleasant to listen to, and will give your child a great introduction to Spanish. There is no english on the CD, so it will not teach your child spanish, but the words are all translated in the liner notes, so with an effort you can teach your children the translations if you wish.

There is a short book with the CD, and it is very helpful. It discusses how children learn languages, and the benfits of becoming multilingual. They also explain the different stages your baby goes through when learning languages, and how the various songs and rhymes on the CD fit into this learning.

5.0 out of 5 stars Authentic Spanish songs that babies and parents can enjoy!, January 28, 2003
By John Hagen (San Mateo, CA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I bought the CD because I don't have any Spanish heritage and want to assist with my eleven month old child's Spanish as much as I can - especially before her first birthday. To me, a CD like this is as good as the songs, and the songs are quite enjoyable and memorable. After only a month, my eleven month old "dances" to almost all of the songs on the CD. In fact, this CD is even helping me improve my Spanish a bit since the liner notes include all the lyrics. I now find myself humming many of the tunes to myself - IN SPANISH - and I can already sing many of the songs to my child. The origin of all of the songs are listed with the lyrics, and my wife fondly recognized many of the ones from Central America (where she is from).

Another nice feature is that the CD is separated into four sections, one for each 6-month age group between 0 and 2. As explained in the included brouchure, this is to coincide with the child's language development. For example, for the 6-12 month section there are a lot of "special" Spanish sounds that non-native Speakers don't really pronounce (or even hear) correctly (e.g. "Quien ira a buscarlas" has a soft "a" after "ira").

To me, the one downside of the CD is that about half of the 60 minute CD are poems and rhymes. My child seems to like the rhymes well enough and they have helped with my personal "Spanish lessons", but I would have preferred another 30 minutes of songs. In fact, I've burned a CD exclusively of the songs since they seem to have more of an impact on my child.

All in all, though, buy this CD and you (and your baby) will be singing its praises!

5.0 out of 5 stars The best available. , November 5, 2004
By Miami Cane (College Park, MD) - See all my reviews
This CD is awesome. I have looked for materials to teach my 3- month old languages and in particular Spanish. This is the best CD available. I just wish they had it available in more languages than Spanish, French and Italian because I would buy them all. This is great if you are trying to expose your baby to Spanish during the critical language learning period and beyond. The voices on the CD are wonderful. The songs are catchy. The background music is fun and soothing at the same time. A+
