From a teacher's perspective, not bad

I bought this to use with my four to seven year old Spanish class. I didn't use it because I didn't feel it was clearly and concisely introducing words or phrases - it seems a little confusing for that age group.

I do like the bright colors and that there are CD's with the set, as well as the songs (which REALLY help little kids learn a second language.) As a parent and teacher, I just wish it was a little less jumbled in the lessons...Not a lot of writing to do - just reading and listening.

Excellent Learning Tool for Children

We bought this course for our 4 year old daughter. I already speak Spanish fluently and my husband is a native speaker. However, we really don't speak Spanish around our daughter as mush as we should, so we bought Spanish for Children for her. I am really glad that we did. It has turned out to be an excellent choice.

Our daughter loves the games and the songs. And the narrator apparently works very well with kids. The only reason why I am not giving Spanish for Children 5 stars is because the author failed to release a Spanish for Children Part II.

A good way to start out with a second language for kids

I bought this set for my 5 year-old and 8 year-old. For the most part, they and I like it, but I must admit it takes a wee bit of getting used to. You won't be able to just put the tape on and walk away with this set, you'll need to sit with your kids and go through it together. But if you're willing to do that you'll reap some very real benefits, and your kids will too!
