Instant Immersion Language Starter for Kids
© 2001 Topics Entertainment
Four similarly designed CDs, one each for German, Spanish, French and Italian, are offered in this affordably priced bundle. In each CD, there are three activity areas: learn, games and record. In the learn area, kids choose a category, let's say colors, and are presented with pictures that are labeled with audio and text. Categories include miscellaneous vocabulary, colors, action, professions and so on. In the games area, children can play three multilevel games that reinforce vocabulary: find the card, match the pairs and beat the clock. In the record area, kids can record and play back their vocabulary pronunciations. Emphasis is on spoken language comprehension and vocabulary development. The program is straightforward, easy to use and keeps basic records. Directions can be given in many languages. This one offers solid practice. See Instant Immersion 102 Languages (2004).
