A 13 month old really should not be watching TV and video's- In fact, even pop culture research shows that any TV before 5 is very damaging. Children under five-thrive and need real interaction...especially through music, rhymes and signing. Although, I pass no judgement because I totally understand your plight-because I myself as an early music and language educator struggle with this. With my older two children-they had many hours of diverse language TV time-which did little to improve their language skills-Muzzy, lyric language videos, TinTin-etc- None of them helped to produce the language savvy individuals I thought-and any language learning they learned were from directly from me and my not so desirable accent!....but I am a person who learns from my mistakes and now have created something amazingly different and ultimately effective language program. With my five year old and other children from my classes I have developed a program that uses music, color, and language-tuned to the Pentatonic pyhagorean scale which has proven to be very successful and I am currently obtaining a patent. The children are learning music, healing aspect of color therapy and language all at the same time. The DVD that comes with it isn't meant for children to sit and watch and observe but as a means for pronunciation help (along with a translation guide and a pronunciation guide in the lesson planner) and to give lesson help ideas. You can go to my website below and click on AMHC which is the language music program-there are videos on the website you can watch to see how it works and a trailor for the movie. I think you are right to introduce sign language because with my own children American sign language is the "base" physical language we use to link all other languages. Good luck on your Journey of Language! Aurore Only that day dawns to which we are awake- Thoreau

DD is now watching Signing Time and has begun signing several things which is great since French hubby is is doing exclusively French and I am doing English and a bit of Spanish as well and this gives us a way to share different languages with a common sign. So my question is of the dvd's in this list, what do you find to be most beneficial or age appropriate for a 13 month old? Thanks and looking forward to becoming much more involved now that DD is old enough to not just "listen" to all the languages :) Laura (American), Stephane (French), and little Caitlyn (born to us during our year in Argentina) --- In multilingualmunchki [EMAIL PROTECTED] com, "zurrolaur" <laurazurro@ ...> wrote: > > what an amazing list...we have the einstein dvds because they had > french and spanish but i had no ida about all these others! > thanks for compiling this! > > Laura > http://movingtoarge ntina.typepad. com > > > --- In multilingualmunchki [EMAIL PROTECTED] com, "elise" > <abbaschild30@ > wrote: > > > > Here's our list of videos with foreign language track.
