DISAPPOINTED October 25, 2009 Tanya Bishop IT WAS NOT WHAT I EXPECTED. I BOUGHT IT FOR MY SON AND HE DID NOT LIKE IT AT ALL. IT HAD NO INSTRUCTIONS, IT DID NOT TELL YOU HOW TO PRONOUNCE THE WORDS. IT WAS JUST SONGS IN ITALIAN. IT DID NOT "TEACH".
Teach Me Italian January 19, 2008 Samantha Stevens A lovely product. Very engaging children's songs in Italian/English and a range of short dialogues. Full translation provided.
don't buy it! June 21, 2007 Italian Mom (Madison. WI USA) 7 out of 7 found this review helpful
I agree with Lorena from Milan. I am Italian as well and if you want your kid to learn Italian in the right way, especially pronunciation, stay away from this book. The leading singer has a very strong accent that makes it hard for me at times to understand what she is singing (and I am a NATIVE Italian and I teach Italian in the US so I am used to bad accents...)
Also, the songs are translated in a way that does not match the music, so when I listen to it, it gives me the chills. You can find much more authentic material around done and sang by real Italians!!
Teach Me Italian: A Musical Journey Through the Day January 27, 2007 Karyn Caverly (Webster, NY USA) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This book and CD are AWESOME! I have three kids: 6, 4 1/2, and 2 1/2, and they all LOVE to sing along with the songs on this CD. It has been a huge hit in our household. I think the songs are very catchy - I have even caught myself humming along with them in my head at other times during the day!
This set is perfect if you have little ones that can't read yet - my 2 1/2 year old was counting in Italian before he was couting in English!!!
Great cd! July 9, 2006 Tina (staten island, NY) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This is a great CD. I use it for an italian playgroup that I run, and moms and kids enjoy the familiar tunes!
