We sing and dance to the songs almost every day. Even I enjoy listening to it. The voices are very pleasant.
I wanted to introduce French to my daughter. She is now starting to sing the songs as well.Her favorite is "Joyeux anniversaire". .Absolutely the best product I have ever purchased.
She is now 19 months. I definitely recommend it to any parent who wants to introduce a second language to his/her child. I am hoping to get her to learn a second language.
She loves listening it.
The research cited in the book is worth the price alone. Most importantly, my 10-month old seems to enjoy the songs while she plays. Things I like are:--Parent guide explaining language acquisition in general, and bilingual/multilingual language development in particular.
I am not a native French speaker, so I cannot comment on the authenticity of the songs or accents. I am interested in other language CDs in this series. However, the research presented in the guide makes me trust this product more than others I have heard that just play English songs translated into a foreign language.
This is one of the best developmental products for babies I have seen yet. --Lyrics of all the tracks in French, with English translations--Songs and rhymes divided up by developmental stage to expose your child to sounds they are most sensitive to in that stage. I hope they have the same kind of professionals developing them.
According to the package, the author is a professor of Speech and Language Pathology, and trilingual herself. As a Psychologist, I truly appreciate when products are developed with a scientific basis.
The book that comes with the cd makes the product really easy to use. I find myself singing some of the songs while we are out and about. It also has translation for all of the tracs on the cd. This cd is great. The songs are done well.
The booklet that comes with it is great for the parents, in that it explains the best way to introduce your child to another language (not just French). It is mostly music, with some rhymes. My 6 month old loves listening to it. I recently purchased Baby's First Words in French and am very pleased. Definitely worth the small cost. It is great to have something like this to familiarize your baby with the different sounds of the French language. I speak French and the cd is definitely made by native French speakers. There are several different voices used on the cd, so it is not monotonous.
The booklet also provides you as a parent valuable information about research and techniques used to back up this language learning program. They are beautiful and educational and so very easy to learn, even if you don't speak french. It not only gives you several tracks of rhymes and songs that your baby will love, but it shows you which songs to introduce to your baby at specific ages.
I speak french, but I am American-born, so having a CD that allows my daughter to hear a native accent is crucial. My English-speaking family has learned several songs and enjoy singing them to her. You will love the songs and rhymes as much as your child, I guarantee it.
I absolutely love the format of this disc and book set. You need to start teaching now- or as early as possible- if you want you child to develop a native-sounding accent. I highly recommend this CD and book set to all parents who have their child's bi-lingual capabilities in mind.
The tracks are broken up into 0-6 months, 6-12 months, 12-18 months, and 18-24 months. Every second is so interesting.
