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.Plenty of cartoons and kids songs in Japanese, Korean, German, French and Italian etc.

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:

Hi, I just found a good source to learn Japanese.
Bought those Japanese cds from one forummer in the trading post. It’s the ‘Teach Me… Teach Me More… series’. It’s an award winning series of audio cds in various languages like japanese, spanish, italian. You can check it out from the web about this Teach Me series.
I bought the Japanese series as I’ve always tried means and ways to expose them to jap language. I speak intermediate level japanese too, so it’s very easy for me to decode to my children.
We played it in our family car and it’s so NICE!!! Actually it’s a series of nursery rhymes and all-too-familiar children songs that are basically sung in Japanese language. And it’s very tastefully done up, sung by children (mostly) and they are speak in japanese language to tell a simple daily life of this narrator Mary. They have a book written in Romanji (equivalent to hanyu pinyin to help you read Japanese). So parents who might not understand Hiragana will still be able to read the words.
Within 2 days, my 5 year old is able to speak accurate おやすみなさい, みんなさん, which meant ‘goodnight, everyone’. And my 18 month old was like playing along with the tune when we heard ‘Head and Shoulders, Knees and Toes’.
We loved the CD so much and it sure beats listening to Class 95 or 933 for a change. -
