      Hi Phantom,


      Where do you get those CDs in other language from? I heard that listening to music in other language helps too.
      I enrolled my kid in Shichida, so I bought some of those Sawako CD from their tensai shop, but heard there is some outside shop that sell them at a cheaper price, not sure where though.

          My daughter's Kinderland childcare @ Crescent Road (Katong) teaches Japanese on Friday mornings.

                Just discover there are plenty of foreign language materials on youtube recently. Plenty of cartoons and kids songs in Japanese, Korean, German, French and Italian etc.


                Don know if watching all these will help in acquiring the language later but it’s certainly entertaining!

                  YES! I especially love the Little Einstein themesong in Japanese. My ds1 is equally amused. 😄

                    My child picked up a lot of Spanish words from watching Dora VCDs, for fun only. Personally I think enviroment is the most important factor in learning a language, an effortless way… sending kids to language course at such young age? I am not that sure…

                      We expose our children in a Chinese speaking environment at home and try to help them be real good in that language. Then we try to help them get a pre-school with good English environment. So far so good, just that the elder one prefers English, probably because the school environment is still more influential than what we do at home. :oops:
