Let's Sing and Learn in Spanish

Rating:
Summary: Great for classroom use!
Review: I have used this book and cassette of Spanish songs in elementary classrooms to supplement our learning of Spanish. I have also recommended it to the teachers I work with during in-service sessions. The songs reinforce the material covered in the classroom: days of the week, parts of the body,colors, saying your name, sounds of the vowels and much more. The tunes are catchy and easy to learn. You find yourself humming them all day long which of course means you're menatlly "practicing" Spanish too! I appreciate this book so much I have recommended it in the reading list of my own book, "Say It in Spanish! Language and Activities for the Elementary Classroom."

Summary: Easy to sing along!
Review: I just love the CD to sing along with my baby. The quality of the CD is very good, the words are clearly spoken and repeated, and the melodies are fun and playful. I also liked having the book to follow along and make sure I have understood the words. I highly recommend this book/CD for those who want to make it fun for their baby to begin to learn the melody and words of a new language.

Summary: This book & cassete set is fun, easy and imminently helpful!
Review: I purchased the book and cassette set when I was trying to teach myself spanish. I was 16 at the time, and though the songs on the tape are definitely geared toward younger kids, the music is very catchy, and 7 years later I can still sing those songs. (To be honest, when I had Spanish tests in High School, I could sing the songs in my head and remember what I needed to know!) In addition to sentence structure, the set teaches a vocabulary including colors, animals, verbs, numbers, clothing, and more. I *strongly* recommend this book and cassette to anyone learning, refreshing, or teaching spanish. I found it to be an invaluable tool.

Summary: FUN, BUT NOT TOO INFORMATIVE OR INSTRUCTIONAL
Review: I PURCHASED THIS BOOK/CASSETTE IN THE HOPES THAT MY SON WOULD LEARN SPANISH (OR A BIT OF SPANISH AT LEAST) WHILE HAVING FUN SINGING THE MUSIC. HE NOW KNOWS THE WORDS TO ALL OF THE SONGS IN SPANISH, BUT HE HAS NOT A CLUE TO WHAT HE IS SINGING. IT IS NOT WHAT I EXPECTED. THERE IS NO INSTRUCTION OR TRANSLATION. I WOULD ONLY RECOMMEND IT TO SOMEONE WHO WAS LOOKING FOR A SPANISH CHILDRENS CASSETTE, NOT TO ONE WHO IS LOOKING TO LEARN SOME OF THE LANGUAGE.
