It's been years since I have taken a Spanish language class. Although back in the day, I was actually semi-fluent. I completely support and appreciate the importance of children learning at least one 2nd language- it is such an amazing skill to have. I hope to teach Lily Bean bits and pieces of Spanish, and the Little Pim series makes it a little easier!Through a cute and engaging video, the Little Pim Spanish DVD that we watched was very well done. Words are shown on the screen, repeated multiple times, and acted out (mostly by children). Our DVD was Volume 1: Eating and Drinking. Lily Bean and I watched as various meal related scenes played out- with Spanish vocabulary for food, utensils, and other actions appeared on the program.
I was impressed that Lily was fairly interested. She watched for about 5 minutes or so before wandering across the room to fetch some toys. I left the DVD on and found her checking the show out several times. I have a feeling that the older she gets, the more engaged in the DVD she'll become.
