Synopsis

Album Description

MAKE LEARNING FUN
With songs that your child already knows and loves NURSERY RHYMES IN BOTH ENGLISH AND SPANSH
Your child hears the words in English and in Spanish! BOTH MUSIC AND FOREIGN LANGUAGES HAVE A POSITIVE EFFECT ON YOUR CHILD?S ABILITY TO LEARN The experiences that a child receives in the first few years after birth are crucial to his or her ability to learn later in life. Connections between neurons are formed during infancy and early childhood. These connection or "synapses" constitute the wiring system of the brain. Studies have shown that both music and exposure to a foreign language stimulate these synapses. In addition, experts recognize that early exposure to a foreign language makes learning easier. In fact, emerging research has linked higher SAT scores, enhanced creativity and problem solving skills to a child?s proficiency in a foreign language. An ability to speak more than one language not only improves learning and creativity; it enhances greater understanding and awareness of people from different cultures. So be a Global Village Kid and open the door to a bigger world! The lyrics were translated literally, to the extent possible. Slight adjustments to the pronunciation of some words were musically necessary. © 2003 Global Village Kids, LLC

CD Reviews

Horrible Spanish CD

V. Ben-David | Cincinnati, OH | 10/10/2005

(1 out of 5 stars)

"This is a horrible CD! I am a native spanish speaker and could not believe the translations, lyrics, and singing! I don't know what the company was thinking making and then selling these CDs! Not to be harsh, but it seems like a joke...This CD is not a good choice for spanish speakers and not beneficial in learning spanish or spanish songs for non-spanish speakers... Don't waste your money!"

Not what I hoped.

"I am a Native Spanish instructor for young children who is always in search of fun new teaching aids to enchance the Children learning process. This Sing and learn Cd is not what I hoped for. The lyrics are not easy to follow when sang in Spanish and some of them are not even pronounced properly ...specially in song 17th were instead of singing ESPALDA which means "back" it says ESPALADA which is not an Spanish word at all.

The English part sounds very good."

Horrible Spanish

"I called the company to tell them how horrible this product is and they didn't even call me back. It is sitting on my desk hoping they call so I can ship it back to them at my expense along with a note about how horrible the translation is. I bought the French one as well and I imagine that the same lady who sings in both is just as bad in French. As many of the native speakers have noted in other reviews, the translation is a big problem in this CD. All of us who heard this CD in my home cringe when we hear how bad it is. DO NOT BUY THIS."
