I’m generally a little dubious of these programs, but this video looked like the real deal so I bought a digital download of Little Pim in Italian. It seems to work really well – my daughter’s accent sounds great, and she’s really retained a lot of the words from the videos.

We have been trying to teach our little 22 month old French from Little Pim. I am terrible at other languages so I am hoping by starting her early, she will be much better. We would also love to have her learn Spanish and Mandarin as well. My husband speaks passable Spanish so I should have him start talking to her in Spanish. Also, we found a Spanish speaking Seventh Day Adventist church we may start going to so that she can learn Spanish and it won’t interfere with our own Sunday worship.

Tracy, thanks for watching it! Yes, Vanessa’s pronunciation is good, and even Julia seems to agree, so that makes me very happy!

I’ve been really enjoying our Skype conversations with Julia because I’ve been getting a lot of real-life, practical advice which I can really put to use. I hope others can use it to be inspired to continue on this language-learning journey we’re all in!

Gracias, Mary! Yes, you have to be pretty focused if you really do want your children to learn another language. To be honest, it’s never really been too much of a struggle for us to raise our kids bilingual because we only speak Spanish to them. As you know, Vanessa learned English in preschool. But now that I’m trying to introduce French, I realize how much work and effort it takes to make it happen.
I will say, though, that I’m very lucky to have a willing participant. Vanessa loves languages as much as I do, and that makes the process completely worthwhile!

Roxana – I ADORE the video! These Skype chats are so great. Vanessa’s pronunciation sounds so good. (I don’t speak French, but it sounds right!)

Julia has plenty of good ideas and I was very entertained by Little Pim’s surprise appearance there at the end. LOL. Cute.Oh! And the i-phone app was super cool. I’d want to play with it myself.

Keep it up!

I am so proud of you guys!!! great video!!. And Roxana you are right…. you just made me realize that must be very difficult to raise a kid speaking another language that you are not fluent in. For me is not difficult because I speak Spanish as my first language and I feel pretty comfortable in English too. But I have some friends as you know that they are doing all the efforts to speak another language for their kids. I can’t imagine how focus you have to be.
