A great way to interact with your child when using any one of our DVDs is to watch the video and then use something tangible in your environment to reinforce what your child has just learned. For instance, if you’ve just watched At the Market, try using real or play food to repeat the lesson with your child. Whenever I go to the market with my son or am cooking at home, I show him all the different foods I’m using. Now he tells me what they are before I even say anything! You can find any number of toys that will work with each DVD. You may be surprised how quickly your child picks up the new words!

While I was teaching elementary school, I saw first hand how quickly language is acquired when children are very young. I’ve taught classes that had as many as 8 children who came from various countries and had limited, and in some cases no exposure to the English language. Samoan, Filipino, Vietnamese, Spanish were just a few of the languages the children came to school speaking. As I could not speak any of these languages, the children were fully immersed in the English language from the first day of school. It was interesting to see them speak without any accent as well as keep both languages “separate.”
We have always wanted the girls to learn a second language. So I was very excited to have the opportunity to review the Early Lingo DVD’s. Available in English, French, Italian, Spanish and Chinese, each video series follows the adventures of young characters Jojo and Lulu through activities like At the Market, Alphabet at School, and In the City.
Simple, colorful pictures, repetition and seeing the written word encourage children to mimic what they hear. Early Lingo uses the full immersion approach to learn basic words, verbs and simple phrases in an everyday activities. It is suggested for ages 6 months and up. What a great way to provide visual and audio stimulation for infants. My girls still enjoyed it at age 7 and while watching it, repeated what they heard. After watching it twice, while we were at the grocery store they started naming some of the vegetables and fruits…in Spanish! It was fascinating to see how quickly they applied what they learned after watching it just two times. I wish we had found these DVD’s earlier!
The article goes on to explain more about the series and offer a chance to win three Early Lingo DVDs in the language of your choice.

Language development of babies and toddlers is formed by the repetition of sounds and words which they are repeatedly exposed to in their environment. Their little brains are wired to make permanent connections in any given language when repetition is present. Parents and caregivers can help children by introducing them to language, both native and foreign, by repeating words and phrases and using them in different contexts. The quality of language used and constant encouragement will help a child to learn the language.
The Early Lingo English DVD series is equally as effective for native English speaking children as well as non-native speakers. In fact, many families use the series for children who have speech development issues and/or who are simply late speakers.
