A fun way to reinforce Spanish vocabulary
I run a Spanish Club at school for children of a very mixed age group - and, over the years, have found this book and CD almost invaluable for the reinforcement of vocabulary. (Recently I have had to purchase a second copy, as my first CD has vanished!)

Some of the songs are excellent - for example; 'los colores' has become a game that we frequently play - even those who have been attending club for a couple of years enjoy it!

Days of the week and months of the year are equally easily learnt from the songs on the CD - as are the sounds of the vowels, the phrase 'como se dice' and some common garments - however, I have to say that (in my opinion) the song for the numbers is one of the weakest I have ever heard, with pathetic and ridiculous rhymes!

Naturally, the vocabulary is a little restricted - one of the disadvantages of working purely from songs - however; when handled with care, they have a lot to offer the younger learner and are a great tool for those of us who run Spanish Clubs in Primary schools! (also useful for parents on school runs!)

best for younger children
Unlike the other reviewer, I actually liked these songs. I wish I could get something similar for my older children though, as this is aimed (in my view) at younger children.
I've learnt lots from it and so have the children!

Another set of songs please
I think this is a brilliant c.d. with catchy songs and lively tunes. I have bought this for my niece to take to Chile where she is going to be teaching orphans, and although their first language is spanish, I think these songs are so cheerful that they will enjoy singing them.
