Product Description
MAKE LEARNING FUN With songs that your child already knows and loves

NURSERY RHYMES IN BOTH ENGLISH AND GERMAN
Your child hears the words in English and in GERMAN!

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.

1 out of 5 stars Painful!.......2007-06-12

The singer's voice and her rolling "r's" are absolutely painful...and so is the German!
The CD deserves no star, just a swift kick in the garbage.

1 out of 5 stars DO NOT BUY.......2007-05-13

i've never written a review before but i feel the need to issue this warning: another reviewer said that the singer had an accent and really, the german is so bad it is almost impossible to understand. there is no way a child will learn german from this cd. it is actually quite shocking- i'm not sure what the producers of the cd were thinking, they entirely missed the point. the music itself is highly unoriginal and cloying too. sincerely wish i could return this one.

1 out of 5 stars I wish I had listened to the tracks...........2007-01-09

This lady's voice will drive you to tears. Please save yourself the torture.

Although, it is fun to hear these songs in German. German is so fun!! But this lady's voice just kills it for me.

1 out of 5 stars ... and that's still one star more than it deserves........2006-11-20

Whoever translated it, did so one word at a time, which not only means that the syllables don't match and you can't sing it to a tune designed for another language, but it also means that, because German grammar and sentence structure are different to English grammar and sentence structure, much of it no longer makes any sense.

What's worst though is that they chose a singer who apparently does not speak German. If the words weren't printed in the CD booklet, half the time I wouldn't know what the woman is talking about; her pronunciation is appalling.

What a waste of money. I bought this to have my son hear other people than myself use German, but now I'm wondering whether I should sell it used to some other poor, naive and trusting person online or whether I should simply toss it in the garbage.

5 out of 5 stars northwest mom.......2006-09-18

my kids love it. I put it on in the car while driving. I know it isn't the best learning tool to teach 'exact' German, but my kids are familiar with the American tune, and remembers it because of it. I know they are 'learning' the foreign words when they say and sing back/ repeat the german tuned words.
