Oh la la! Cha cha cha! Add an exciting twist to learning Spanish with this spirited 14-song collection - what fun to learn Espagnol a musical way! Authentic speakers give your student a good model to follow, which is especially important if this is the first exposure to the language. Singer/songwriter Jorge Anaya is a native of El Salvador, currently a resident of the D.C. area. Guitar and other instruments accompany the 14 songs that are not too young for older students, but fun and danceable for little ones. Included is a booklet of the lyrics in Spanish & English with some of the vocabulary defined on the side. Some are quite simple while others have a lot more words. Depending on the age and experience of your student, you can use these songs to demonstrate commands, prepositions, questions, negatives and other grammatical points. You can type out the lyrics, leave a space where some words should be, have students listen to the song and fill in the words as they hear them. Maybe one time you take out all of the verbs, and another time you remove articles or adjectives. Use the vocabulary around the house and reinforce what your child is learning. Song titles include: The Little Boat, Vowels, BINGO, Months, Elephants, Seasons, Let It Rain, La Cucaracha, Days of the Week, Numbers, Fruit Vendor, Hiding Song, I Like to Travel, and the Five Pumpkins. The fun Latin beats will have you bobbing your head and tapping your foot as your kids practice their Spanish! ~ Sara
