Lyric Language I (French/English)

The MUZZY tapes have worked much better.

My 2-1/2 and 3-1/2 year old girls really enjoy this video series. We do not speak French but would like to expose them to the language as much as possible. I am not a video advocate, but when trying to expose my children to a second language it's the best I can do. The video is not cartoonish or puppets, rather video clips of real children playing, dancing, jump roping, and doing various other activities. They do activities to music sung by children too, which is a plus to keep a child's attention. I liked the ABC's and 1-2-3's done in both English and French. The entire video is done in alternating echo format, meaning, one line is sung in English (with an English subtitle) then sung in French (with a French subtitle). It's really worth the money. Since it has subtitles in both French and English, reading opportunities are present for the older children. I expect my children will watch this video up to age 11, if it does not break before then.


This video is superb!   January 31, 2001

This entertaining bilingual video is recommended for children who really want to learn French if they've heard of French. Even kindergarteners will tolerate this video. Throughout the video, children sing 11 songs in English and French and the lyrics are subtitled at the bottom of the screen. This and all other Lyric Language videos contain the songs:

* At the Zoo * At the Beach * At the Supermarket * Happy Birthday to You * The Rain * The Seasons * The Days of the Week * The Night

* The Alphabet * I Wish I Could Fly * Jump Rope
