German for Children (Passport Books) Review
User Submitted German for Children (Passport Books) ReviewsNovember 19, 2008 REALLY FUN, ENJOYABLE AND EASY Used to reinforce our 4 y/o's learning on Saturdays. At home he enjoys listening and following in the book. The best advantage is in the car...its easy to follow and I hear him hours later singing the songs. I am learning right along with him and its great fun. Really happy with the purchase! November 26, 2007 German for children The approach is well thought out and well organized with extensive guidance and tips to parents and teachers. The material is enthusiastic, energetic, and simple. The repetitions are presented in varying contexts so that the exercises do not become boring or laborious. It is an effective and enjoyable approach for children that also works well with adults. July 16, 2007 Requires motivated parent and child I was hoping for something that would catch and keep a young child's attention. This is kind of "last century" style of language learning. A motivated child over 6 could manage alone. Otherwise, an adult will need to be there to help the child along. May 29, 2007 Your kids will love it! I started the program about 3 weeks ago with my 3 1/2 year old son and he loves it! The exercise are fun, it is something we can do together, and he thinks it is "cool" that he can speak to Daddy in German. Good product. April 9, 2007 My preschooler didn't like it, quality was average Overall I thought it was cute although not as good as I had hoped. I was hoping for more of an immersion approach with less English on the CDs. The sound quality was average and I think that for learning a foreign language the sound quality should be excellent. It sounded like it had originally been on cassette tapes and transferred to CDs without enhancing the sound quality. My 3 year-old didn't like it, but that's simply her personaly preference. I can see how other children might love it. There are quite a few references to witches and ghosts (but not in a scary way) and some parents may wish to know that before purchasing. March 9, 2007 Learn German easily and have fun My daughter started taking German lessons from a German friend. After 1 lesson, we purchased the German for Children language series. My daughter has always responded to music and audio stimulation and has learned so much just by listening. We listen to the CDs in the car. My daughter just loves listening to the German for Children CDs. We listen just about every day and have been for at least a few weeks...she has mastered the 1st CD and we're working on the 2nd. I'm also having fun learning the language! January 26, 2007 Excellent product for adults and children Excellent product. My almost 4 year old and 2 year old have already started counting, saying hello, and saying simple greetings in German after only a few times listening in the car (with some reinforcement from me of course). I bought another CD for my husband and myself, which is very good as well but very tiring because you learn so much so quickly. Sometimes its nice to switch to this children's CD and learn in the more relaxing, carefree manner as a child would. The lessons are not at all annoying as children's programs can sometimes be. I find myself remembering from the children's songs the words that I am practicing in the adult CD. We have not gone to Germany yet, but from friends who have lived in Germany, we are finding that the lessons are useful for everyday conversation. January 22, 2007 Cheap and Cheerful German for Kids There are plenty of expensive packages out there, promising to have your child speaking a foreign language fluently in -however-many-weeks/months- but 'German for Children' is probably THE best option for any parent wishing to introduce a child (aged 3 to about 9 or 10) to the basics of German. It's fun and child-friendly, with lots of chirpy songs and games, very little writing (while encouraging older children to read along and keep a German notebook), and no complicated rules of grammar to learn by rote. My boys are 5, 6 and 8, and love playing 'Wo ist...?' and 'Bingo', and singing along to the 'Pizza Song'. I doubt the pack would be of much interest to children over 10, but for the younger ones it's definitely five stars. March 4, 2006 Homeschooler's Review Terrific! Childrens songs and activities make this a fun and easy way to learn german. The kids sing the songs all day long and really look forward to their german lesson to start their homeschool day. June 9, 2005 Awesome! Getting ready to move to Germany, I wanted to make sure my kids (ages 4 and 6) were ready for the move. I have bought about any German lessons I can find. The songs on this set are not only tolerable, they are catchy (I catch myself singing them). The kids really enjoy them (though they have problems with the book because they're not quite reading yet). All together, a great set. I, too, wish there was a volume 2!
