Music reviews of Uni Verse of Song: French
Music Review: Tried Many - this is one of the best
Rating: 5 Stars
I took French immersion in school for a few years and have fortunately retained some of it. I wanted my kids to have some base in other languages in case they ever wanted to pursue such learning. Besides - most of the world speaks several languages! Kid's songs seemed like a natural way to start to do it. I tried several CD's, and this one is by far the best. The kids immediately recognized songs they knew in English, and began to learn the French words as well. The voices are very good, the kids especially. It is very engaging to my kids when they hear the other kids sing.
I have found the mix of some English and French to be very good for learning, and the quick lesson in the children's voices between songs is good, and fast (and you can always skip it right away too).
If you were more advanced - the English and French might be a bit intrusive. For those with bilingual children - I have also enjoyed the 100% French set called, "Mes Chansons Preferees" - by Kidzup. It has almost no recognizable English kid songs - but the French folk songs are surprisingly excellent and fun. My kids have a few favourites there too.
Overall - this is the one my kids enjoyed the most and gets played frequently.
Description of Uni Verse of Song: French
Whether French is the first language for your child, or you want them to learn it as a second language, or if you just like to introduce foreign language concept for your children, UniVerse of Song - French is a definite must for you! This Music for Little People's CD is so gracefully performed by singer Jean Rene, that children and adults will love just listening to the language of poetry and romance. And just look at the selection of songs: all kids favorite nursery rhymes, such as London Bridge; popular activity songs, such as Wheels on the Bus; famous children songs in French, such as Frere Jacques. Sing along, repeat French words from the dialogues, learn this beautiful European language with the UniVerse of Song - French CD.Bilingual Spanish/English CD from this series is available at Educational Toys Planet.
French is probably the only language in the world that can make the most trivial idea sound grandiloquent. Imagine what it can do when the poetic Romance language is set to children's songs. It entertains and educates, bien sūr (of course)! UniVerse of Song: French is the fun and informative follow-up to UniVerse of Song: Spanish, and seems an ideal tool for starting second-language learning with elementary phrases and basic songs. Jean Rene and his versatile backing combo help make a handful of bilingual kids into lively teachers. It doesn't matter if your native tongue is English or French--the record playfully teaches kids both languages by using common French and English nursery songs such as "Frčre Jacques," "Alouette," the ever-delightful "Sur le Pont d'Avignon," "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star," "Wheels on the Bus," "London Bridge," and others. Along the way, listeners can also pick up useful expressions in French that sound, well, almost diplomatic. Now, bring on the Chinese and Russian versions of UniVerse of Song, and soon we can send kids to the UN Security Council. --Martin Keller
