My husband and I both speak French and hope to pass that skill onto our children. We began speaking French at mealtimes last year. In addition, Eric has started speaking to Zari only in French. She's made incredible progress just in the past month or two. When I am alone with the kids, I speak mostly in English, with some French at lunch time. I've found that it's too exhausting to do everything in French all day--and take care of two little kids!
When Dio naps, I let Zari watch French movies or language DVDs. I've tried several different language DVDs and my favorite by far is the Little Pim series. We've had discs 1-3 for about a year and recently received disc 5, "Happy, Sad, and Silly," courtesy of Little Pim! Zari loves the new Little Pim DVD and asks to watch it all the time. The other day, she was tickling Dio and saying "chatouille, chatouille!" (tickle) in between giggles. It's amazing to see how quickly young children pick up new words.
So I'm thrilled to offer a giveaway of a Little Pim language learning DVD! The winner will receive a Little Pim DVD of their choice. In addition, if the winner is a Little Pim Facebook fan, they will also receive a Little Pim plush panda.
Little Pim offers language immersion DVDs in Spanish, French, Chinese, Italian, Japanese, Hebrew, English (ESL), German, Arabic, and Russian, with additional languages coming soon.
