Teach Your Baby French (Teach Your Baby Series)

Rating:
Summary: This is worthy of the trash can.
Review: Do not buy this if you want your baby to learn French. The "French" is spoken by a native English speaker with a noticeable English accent, hence, words are not pronounced correctly. Additionally the words are repeated in English; in acquiring a language the language should be spoken without translation. A horrible, annoying tape.

Summary: Merci! Holt concepts
Review: This audio tape was recommended in American Baby Magazine as a good way to start language. It's a excellent way to start language with your baby. You can learn important words that will help start your baby learning a second language. The tape starts with number, parts of the body, colors, clothing, animals and other common words then it moves to simple phases that a mother would use everyday. It's very easy to follow.

Summary: Basics for Absolute Beginners
Review: This tape is a simple introduction to vocabulary and short phrases to use with your baby. It's appropriate for parents who speak little or no French, but those beyond the absolute beginner stage will find that they already know everything here (colors, clothing, animals, etc.). A children's French course on tape or even a CD of French songs will give you much more to go on. (The CDs by Daniel, like "ABCDEFG...I Learn French/J'apprends l'anglais" are marvelous.) Also, the woman on the tape has a noticeable Southern US accent in her English, which occasionally comes through ever-so-slightly in her French.
