My in-laws are native italian, from Calabria, and we really want our six month old daughter to learn to speak the language. I purchased this CD so that we don't miss the critical period in her development at which time she begins to "tune out" other languages. This CD is awesome! The songs, poems, and parentese are all fun and catchy and Nonna and Nonno say the lyrics are very sweet! The book itself is worth the price. The author of the book is an Assistant Professor of Speech and Language Pathology and Director of the Speech Production and Perception Lab at Teacher's College, Columbia University. This is the table of contents for the book:~ Introduction to the PackageChapter One: Critical Periods For Birds and BabiesChapter Two: Helping Your Baby TalkChapter Three: Multilingualism: Is There Room For Two Or More Languages In One Brain?Chapter Four: Babies Learn To Talk: Steps In Language Devleopment From Womb To TwoChapter Five: Making the Most Of the CDChapter Six: The Sounds Of Italian~Basic Italian For Parents~Resources For Parents~References~IndexIn Chapter Five there is a detailed expaination of how the CD is arranged: "The CD is divided into four sections corresponding to the first four six-month periods of your baby's development. The songs, rhymes, ans speech sounds have been carefully designed to emphasize the important aspects of Italian that your child is uniquely open to absorbing at each developmental stage. Each section contains all the sounds in the Italian inventory so that your child may continue to perceive them accurately" (pg. 51).The four sections of the CD are:1. Rhythm and oohs: Newborns to 6 months2. Oohs and aahs: 6 to 12 months3. Words of wisdom: 12 to 18 months4. Aha-language! 18 to 24 monthsThe lyrics for all of the songs, poems, rhymes, and parentese are included in both Italian and English. If you want your little one to be exposed to the Italian language this CD is a must-have!Please note that the CD titled Baby's First STEPS In Italian Baby's First Steps in Italian is the exact same CD as this one only it was published earlier under that title. I made the mistake of thinking it was a different CD and purchased it twice.If you would like more Italian music for your little one, I highly recommend Canzoni Per Bambini, Volume I and Canzoni Per Bambini, Vol. 2.
I am shocked to read the other reviews! This is my 1yr old's son favorite CD and we love it too. I lived in Italy 10+ years, my husband is from there(39 years living there) and my son is raised in a bilingual family. The songs are excellent and catchy, quality fabulous, singers great and contents are very well done. The woman and children on the CD have perfectly authentic pronunciation. My son goes to sleep every night listening to his CD and our whole family loves it. I HIGHLY recommend this set and hope they make many more!!
I bought this CD becasue I wanted my daughter to listen to Italian music. I have no clue what they are saying but the CD does come with the words in Italian and English. The music is fun and lively and the poems sound great. She loves to dance to the music. I am of Italian descent so I am hoping to pick up a word or too. I love this CD and would recommend this to everyone. I am sure those who speak Italian would enjoy it too.
I was really happy with this CD. I'm 100% Italian, and speak Italian fluently. My parents are both Italian immigrants. This CD is great because it teaches the proper way to speak Italian, and everything is pronounced correctly. My 1 year old son loves listening to the songs. He loves one song especially. The song teaches you about different animals, and the sounds that they make. We always laugh together when we hear it. I am looking forward to finding out wether or not he will pick up Italian words from the CD. If so, my parents would be so proud. This CD is a good blend of vocabulary and music.
The whole CD is in italian. It is filled with italian nursery rhymes and songs. I bought this 3 years ago for my son and we still listen to it, he is 5. I used to play it at night befre bed, in the morning or while he was playing in his room.The cover book has all of the words in italian translated into english. It also has the songs separated by age according to how they learn language. I absolutely love this!
My kids love this CD, great songs. Even my 1yr old is singing along to a couple of the songs. Great for kids and if you are the type that learns from music, then this CD is perfect. The CD is done well with a translation book and a small instruction book. The songs are good with catchy tunes and sounds for small children to teens.
My husband & I are both teachers, and we found this CD to be of excellent quality. I was truly impressed with the variety of songs & dialogue that are offered on it. It's helping both of us to improve our Italian as we teach our daughter.
I am the 1st born in America of my entire family so, I was brought up speaking Italian as my first language. I learned English both in school and in playing with neighborhood children. Life (my husband's job) has taken me away from my family and my roots and everything I've ever known for that matter! When we had our 1st child (8 months ago), I wanted VERY strongly for him to learn the Italian language as I did growing up. I speak fluent Italian however, my husband does not so English is the language spoken at home. Since I am no longer speaking it on a regular basis with my Mother and Father, being away from the baby's "Nonna e Nonno" (Grandmother & Grandfather) and other Italian family members has taken a toll in my own Italian language skills! I needed some help. I have been searching the internet and have purchased many cd's over the past few months that claim to either teach Italian or to be Italian children's songs and they were TERRIBLE! This cd, however, is BY FAR the best one yet! I am SO-oooo thrilled with it! It is spoken properly and the songs are GREAT! It has even improved MY Italian a bit! My son and I both love it! So much so that when he gets a little (or alot) fussy, only 2 songs calm him down completely and they are on this cd! I'm so thankful for this cd! I highly recommend it!
