It is mostly music, with some rhymes. I speak French and the cd is definitely made by native French speakers. I recently purchased Baby's First Words in French and am very pleased. My 6 month old loves listening to it. It is great to have something like this to familiarize your baby with the different sounds of the French language. There are several different voices used on the cd, so it is not monotonous. The booklet that comes with it is great for the parents, in that it explains the best way to introduce your child to another language (not just French). Definitely worth the small cost.
I absolutely love the format of this disc and book set. My English-speaking family has learned several songs and enjoy singing them to her. You need to start teaching now- or as early as possible- if you want you child to develop a native-sounding accent.
The tracks are broken up into 0-6 months, 6-12 months, 12-18 months, and 18-24 months. You will love the songs and rhymes as much as your child, I guarantee it. It not only gives you several tracks of rhymes and songs that your baby will love, but it shows you which songs to introduce to your baby at specific ages.
I speak french, but I am American-born, so having a CD that allows my daughter to hear a native accent is crucial. The booklet also provides you as a parent valuable information about research and techniques used to back up this language learning program. Every second is so interesting.
They are beautiful and educational and so very easy to learn, even if you don't speak french. I highly recommend this CD and book set to all parents who have their child's bi-lingual capabilities in mind.
Very easy to listen to, lovely songs and rhymes. You can easily play this every day and not get sick of it. One of a kind, as most recordings of this sort can be very irritating after a while, even if they are not initially. Excellent.
I wish we hadn't waited. This CD has been in heavy rotation since deciding to teach our toddler son French. He was five months old when purchased and we didn't begin to play it until he was six months old. The songs are sung beautifully by both the male and female singers. In addition to the adult singers, there is also a child that sings songs.The CD comes with the lyrics for each song in both French and English which I find to be extremely helpful.My favorite feature is the "Parentese." I am not fluent in French, but am learning, and I like that I am able to speak to my child in phrases other than the standard ones taught in a college course.
I wanted a foreign language CD for my 1 year old and purchased this after reading the reviews. The sound quality is good and you can follow the words relatively well, which was important to me. The CD is very pleasant to listen to, even for adults. It has a variation of songs and rhymes, and different people singing/speaking them, so it doesn't seem repetitive the way some other children's CDs are. I liked it so much I bought the Spanish version, which I'm still reserving decision on. So far I like the French version better.
