Guide Review - International Baby DVD - Let's Sing Together
With the pleasant music and fun toy pictures, International Baby's Let's Sing Together DVD is a baby-pleasing bilingual video that will help your baby prepare for speaking more than one language in later life. Hearing the sounds of another language is beneficial for babies, who have the ability to make all types of phonetic sounds, but tend to lose that ability without practice. Let's Sing Together features 14 songs and 15 vocabulary word sets. The DVDs are available in English - Spanish, English - Japanese and English - Korean. The songs and words in each video are spoken and sung in both languages, and subtitles are also an option in all languages, as well as in phonetic Japanese and Korean. The subtitles are helpful for parents who want to interact with their baby and speak or sing the words along with the DVD, and may be helpful to older toddlers who are beginning to recognize written words. The songs include classics like Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star and London Bridge, but also include less common songs like Grandfather's Clock and Five Little Ducks. The vocabulary word sets range from simple hello and goodbye to shapes, relatives, colors, opposites and numbers, so there are word sets to benefit most baby and toddler age groups. All of the International Baby DVDs include interactive alphabet and vocabulary flashcards that will help older babies develop the bilingual abilities they learn during the main video.
