Beth Manners' Fun Spanish for Kids. ages 2 6

Customer Reviews

It's "okay"

2008-02-29
The kids like to listen to it, but not enough to want to commit to memory. I guess it's just not catchy enough! Ie. Sesame street had a skit on one episode where they sing "you say, 'me llamo'...". It was catchy, so it made it easy to remember. I think I'm going to keep looking for something like that. This cd covers ALOT in 30 min- ie. food nouns, introducing one's self, how to say "i'm thirsty, i'm hungry" verb conjugation of comer (to eat)and hablar (to talk or speak), pronouns, the weather... I think it focuses on too many topics instead of taking 1 concept at a time and making that concept easy to learn. Remember-this is for 2 years old AS WELL as for 6 years-that's a pretty wide range. it may work for a 6 year old but for english speaking 2 year olds -they're still learning those topics in english.

maybe I'm the only one...

...but this cd drives me crazy. I just can't stomach the schoolmarmy tone. The songs are the best part. When my little girl gets her own cd player, I'll bring this one back out and she can listen to it in her room.

I had bought the Beth Manners's French CDs for my daughter's kids, however my sons children are learning Spanish . So I gave this CD a try and what success. They always ask for it - very age appropriate and just a delight. Lots of practical phrases. Give it a try.

Aptly named it is Fun!

I read about this CD from Family Fun Magazine - they recommended it. My kids adore this clever CD. Bobby speaks only English and Marie speaks only Spanish . The format really holds their interest - they sing the songs and have learned quite a bit. They particularly love the Picnic and The Three Bears. Undoubtedly our favorite car CD. We also enjoy the French CD for variety.

Bravo!!

Too Much English 2007-07-12
I bought this CD because of the good reviews here at Amazon. I wish I could return it. What a waste of my money!

Most of the CD is in English. Most of the song titles on the CD are in English and most of the songs themselves are in English. The first two tracks are completely in English.

The way a few Spanish words are taught is by an English speaker saying them and then someone saying them in Spanish. There's not enough of the Spanish words being used in context to make this worth anyone's time.

If you want your child hearing Spanish, this is not the CD for you.

Not as hoped 2007-03-26
I bought this for my children 6 & 7, who were interested in learning more spanish. My 6 year old seemed to enjoy it more than my 7 year old. The CD moved along too quickly at times & some words were hard to understand. So, we were not sure we were actually speaking the words correctly. Not very helpful if you're a beginner.

Kids' favorite 2007-03-12
This is my kids' favorite CD. They have quite a collection, however they always ask for this one. The format is very effective. Bobby and speaks only English while Maria only French. My kids love the songs and they are always using Spanish phrases. Everything is well pronounced. My kids also love the Magic Spanish CD - also by Beth Manners.

My children won't listen to the CD 2007-03-08
I have tried but my children aren't interested in the CD yet. I like it but I can't give it better than 3 stars if I can't get my little ones into yet.
