Learn Spanish With Little Pim! Win a Set of Spanish Flash Cards & CD!

By

Disclosure: I received Little Pim products for review purposes. No other compensation received.

Viernes Social at ModernMami.com By now you know that my husband and I have committed to raising bilingual children. Coming from different cultures ourselves, our daughter has the benefit of growing up multicultural and learning two languages – English and Spanish. Though my first language was Spanish, having moved to Florida at a young age and living here the majority of my life, has resulted in me speaking mostly Spanglish rather than true Spanish. I often have to force myself to think of the words in order to hold a Spanish-only conversation. That is why I love to compensate speaking Spanish around the house with Spanish books, shows, games, and music, so that my baby girl can be exposed to Spanish as much as possible.

I’ve had the pleasure of receiving some additional Little Pim products to add to the Little Pim Spanish DVD I had previously received and reviewed. This time, I was able to review the Little Pim Spanish Word and Phrase Cards, Little Pim Spanish Bop CD, and the new Little Pim Word Bag app for the iPhone or iPod Touch.

Little Pim Spanish Word and Phrase CardsLittle Pim Spanish Word & Phrase Cards

With 60 cards to choose from, my daughter has fun picking out a few cards at random and making up a story about Little Pim. I love this for two reasons: 1) She’s not just staring at the card and words and repeating them one after the other. It’s much more interactive, which helps (in my opinion) her learn the word or phrase better. 2) Making up stories is a great way to encourage imaginative play!

We take out these cards a few at a time and either make up stories or just review how to say the word/phrase in Spanish. But, we’re usually making up stories – it’s much more fun!

Little Pim Spanish Bop CDLittle Pim Spanish Bop CD

This CD has 15 songs from artists like Dan Zanes and Milkshake. There are three songs that are repeated in English at the end and all the lyrics for each song are included in the pamphlet in both Spanish and English. My daughter especially liked “Tía Monica” and its merengue rhythm, but other fun songs include “Clap Clap Clap” and “Las Comidas.” Of course, a personal favorite of mine is “El Coquí” since Coquís are native to Puerto Rico (no bias whatsoever here).

Little Pim Word Bag iPhone/iPod Touch App

Little Pim’s Word Bag allows your child to play in either Spanish or French. We enjoyed playing with this app on our iPod Touch and I love how it matches the style and feel of the DVD. Using the app, my daughter was able to easily find what words were in Little Pim’s word bag. It’s easy for her to use her finger to “take” the words out of his bag, hear and see the word, and laugh along with Little Pim.

However, I think that it would have been much more cool to be able to “match” the words to the picture and make it a bit more interactive and game-like. It would have been fun to play a game and perhaps help Little Pim find his way through a story scenario by finding the words he needs. Or something like that anyway. Clearly, I’m not a game designer; I just think an interactive element to the app might make it even more fun than it already is.

    I'd love to have the Little Pim Deluxe Gift Set: Spanish for Young Children. I learned Spanish in school and I'd love for my grand kids to learn.

    I like the Little Pim Deluxe Gift Set in Spanish for my son.

  11. Migdalia says

    I'm a South Florida Puerto Rican and also speak Spanglish more than Spanish so this set would be great for our little ones. I think our kids would enjoy the Deluxe Gift Set: French for Young Children because both hubby and I took French in high school and randomly use phrases and the kids are like huh? Thanks!

    Love this contest. I have always wanted my son to learn a second language. At first I wanted him to learn Japanese but the more I think about it learning spanish would mean so much more and get him further today.

    I would love anything Little Pim has for him to learn spanish.

    I strongly believe in Little Pim's commitment to teach languages at a very young age. As a Spanish teacher and a mom raising a bilingual child I see the importance of having materials that engage children into learning. I could use Little Pim in my classes and with my own child.

    I think my children would like the Eating and Drinking: Spanish Language for Toddlers, Babies & Preschoolers.

    This a good blog where some valuable post available. How the idea about language exchange? Many of the people are on blog for commercial need. Different language have different need. Some are link exchange. This are not welcoming. Welcome to you!

    Gracias, She would love Little Pim Word Bag iPhone/iPod Touch App. My daughter is a highly smart 7 year old who keeps asking me to teach her Spanish. Although I speak Spanish, Im Cuban-American, I’ve lacked in the teaching her Spanish department. I work two jobs as a single mother and its been tough finding the time.
    Thank you
