"Foreign Language"

Children pick up foreign language so easily just by being exposed to it!  That's why it's important to start EARLY!  The earlier the better!  And, if you don't have a Spanish-speaking maid or a spouse who speaks French, or you don't speak a foreign language yourself, you have to be a little creative.   The Muzzy program has been great for Brendan!  Its a cartoon video that is in different languages (including English), and goes through the basics.  We have French and Spanish so far.  They are working on a Japanese version, and we'll snatch that up as soon as it comes out!  Brendan loves the Muzzy character (the big green monster), and he laughs at the video when it's in French but not in English!  I must be missing something...

I have learned a lot from these videos, too!  Probably more than I learned in high school French class!  You get the english and foreign language videos and audio tapes, a translation booklet, a CD-ROM, and a vocabulary builder video.  You can get a catalog at 1-888-327-5923, or check out the "Early Advantage" web site at www.early-advantage.com for more info.
