All of the Baby's First Words CDs by Living Language (formerly under the title of Baby's First Steps) are wonderful. Adult native speakers sing songs that are part of the culture from which each language derives and native children say rhymes that are familiar to native children of each language. If you are interested in more than one language, you can buy each different language CD without having any same songs or rhymes repeated because each is unique to the language. We have the Spanish, French, and Italian Cds and love all of them. Each one has 50 tracks that include songs, rhymes, and sayings that are appropriate for any child learning another language. The Spanish one has familiar Spanish songs such as De Colores and Las Mananitas. The French one has songs such as Frere Jacques and A la claire au fontaine. As stated before, only native speakers are on these CDs so the accents are authentic. However, on this Spanish CD, there is no person from Spain that I can hear (I speak Spanish). These are definitely Latin American accents, none from Spain, but the pronunciations are very precise and clear. Everything is annunciated well and the rhymes are spoken more slowly in order for babies and children to learn them well.
I just purchased this CD and so far am extremely pleased with it. The songs are very pleasant and fun to listen to and are sung by native-speaking female and male singers.Also, with an entire booklet of Spanish and English translations, there are rhymes and spoken verses in children's voices as well as other sounds to enhance the songs such as babies laughing, etc.The booklet is broken down into ages which seems helpful but I play the CD all the way through for myself and my son, who is 4 months old, because the songs and rhymes are so enjoyable to listen to!The booklet also noted "Spain" and/or "Latin America" next to the songs however, as the reviewer below said and I am fluent in Spanish as well, I could not detect a difference in Spanish speakers to reflect this linguistical difference. So, I think that when they noted "Spain" and/or "Latin America" (and "Mexico" for one listing), it was probably to inform us where the song is popular, rather than the origin of the singer. That's my guess, anyway.I haven't read all of it yet but there's a parents' guide (that seems pretty comprehensive) that is an introduction to the idea of bi/multilingualism, showing you how to help your baby/child speak more than one language, your child's linguistic milestones, how to make the most of the CD, basic Spanish for adults and resources for parents including websites.I am more than pleased with this purchase and feel it is very much worth the money.The only other thing I would have added on top of all of this is a variety of dialects, which vary greatly from country to country, for example, Spanish from Spain vs from Puerto Rico vs from Venezuela, etc but this really would have been over and above my expectations so I didn't deduct a star from my rating for it.
I speak Spanish fluently, but not being raised speaking Spanish, I did not know any songs to share with my son when he was born. I found this CD, and it has been fantastic! We speak Spanish about 20% of the time at home, but in spite of hearing more English, this is the first CD my son had any interest in at all. He loves De Colores, and the song about the Elefantes especially well.I am uncertain what another reviewer meant about the CD and the booklet being out of sync, unless that was true in an older version. In ours, the tracks on the CD and in the booklet are both arranged according to age/developmental level. The booklet is extremely helpful because it includes the full lyrics to all the songs, so if there are some parts of the song you don't understand (or if you don't speak Spanish but are prepared to imitate the songs), the lyrics are right there for you to study.I have about 15 CDs and/or DVDs of songs/rhymes in Spanish, and this is hands down my favorite!
Good cd with catchy songs. We bought this cd 7 years ago and listened to it off and on for my then 6 month old boy. The songs are catching and done really well.Some songs are playful and the voice of the female sounds so professional compared to other children CDs we have purchased. My boy never enjoyed it and I don't think learned any Spanish words from it. I think having English translations would have been helpful for him. However my daughter who is 4 y.o. really enjoys it and asks for it when we get in the car. There are a lot of songs so I try to repeat the first 10 songs so she can memorize the words as they are sung. Then I could go back to the CD insert with English translation to try to tell her what the song is about. I would suggest this cd for newborns and toddlers since it's a total immersion cd. But, I think for older kids a Spanish with English translations cd might suit better.
This recording is great, the songs and rhymes are fun and my 6 month old enjoys listenting to them (she stares at the cd player the entire time it's playing). Unfortunately, only sells the Audible version so there is not a booklet available with the lyrics or translation. They don't tell you that you won't be able to download the booklet before purchasing it. It would definitely be an improvement if they allowed you to download the cd booklet with the audio download (like you can for some cd's in itunes) so that you could read the spanish and translate. Otherwise, this is a great way to introduce Spanish to a little one.
