Book Review: Sing and Learn Spanish!

Book + CD.

RRP A$22.00

Children like dancing and singing. Why not learn or reinforce a new language by singing?

The rhymes, the gestures and the illustrations will help memorise the vocabulary. Children will love ‘lifting their head, their knee….’.

All the basic vocabulary is in the songs, from the ‘hola’ to ‘where are you going?’ or ‘how are you?’.

Book review: Let’s cook with the Zazoo

Recipe book for children 4+.

RRP A$23.00

This book is in English but there are instructions inside the book to download the French translation, the audio version so you can cook and listen to the recipe at the same time.

Great way to keep the children entertained and learn new words. They will love all the 37 French and American recipes.

Some of my favourite recipes:

Breakfast => French toast and crêpes d’Annette

Lunch & Dinner => Quiche Lorraine, Guacamole, Croque-monsieur

Snacks => Ants on a log, gâteau au yaourt

Desserts => Mousse au chocolat, No bake cheesecake

Get ready for a ‘délicieuse’ afternoon.

Book review: First words sticker book English – Spanish

Bilingual book English – Spanish

RRP $12.00

This activity book will make it fun to learn Spanish. It goes by theme, such as ‘the kitchen/la cocina’, ‘family/la familia’, ‘the bedroom/el dormitorio’, etc… you get the main picture for the context and for the details one picture with a single object and a single word vocabulary. Some of these individual pictures only have the shape of the object and require the child to find the correct sticker.

It is interactive and demands more of the child’s participation in the language learning. He is not just observing but he also has to identify which items are missing and get the correct sticker.

There are over 100 reusable stickers.

To purchase the book click here.
