Spanish songs are a wonderful way to help young learners become familiar with the sounds of a new language. The goal to have them imitate what they hear. Comprehension will come later, but they will get loads of great vocabulary added to their repertoire! Topics include: supermarket, a tiny mouse, countries, Thanksgiving, camping, carnival, Halloween, autumn, a little frog, a donkey, how are you, the itsy-bitsy spider, a little fish, and a little boy. An insert shows the lyrics in both Spanish and English. ~Sara
