Music reviews of Sing and Learn German

Music Review: ... and that's still one star more than it deserves.
Rating: 1 Stars

Whoever translated it, did so one word at a time, which not only means that the syllables don't match and you can't sing it to a tune designed for another language, but it also means that, because German grammar and sentence structure are different to English grammar and sentence structure, much of it no longer makes any sense.

What's worst though is that they chose a singer who apparently does not speak German. If the words weren't printed in the CD booklet, half the time I wouldn't know what the woman is talking about; her pronunciation is appalling.

What a waste of money. I bought this to have my son hear other people than myself use German, but now I'm wondering whether I should sell it used to some other poor, naive and trusting person online or whether I should simply toss it in the garbage.

Description of Sing and Learn German

MAKE LEARNING FUN With songs that your child already knows and loves

NURSERY RHYMES IN BOTH ENGLISH AND GERMAN
Your child hears the words in English and in GERMAN!

BOTH MUSIC AND FOREIGN LANGUAGES HAVE A POSITIVE EFFECT ON YOUR CHILD?S ABILITY TO LEARN

The experiences that a child receives in the first few years after birth are crucial to his or her ability to learn later in life. Connections between neurons are formed during infancy and early childhood. These connection or "synapses" constitute the wiring system of the brain. Studies have shown that both music and exposure to a foreign language stimulate these synapses. In addition, experts recognize that early exposure to a foreign language makes learning easier. In fact, emerging research has linked higher SAT scores, enhanced creativity and problem solving skills to a child?s proficiency in a foreign language.

An ability to speak more than one language not only improves learning and creativity; it enhances greater understanding and awareness of people from different cultures.

So be a Global Village Kid and open the door to a bigger world!

The lyrics were translated literally, to the extent possible. Slight adjustments to the pronunciation of some words were musically necessary.
