Hey everyone!

Long time TPB fan and user, first time poster Smile


I remember growing up in the 80s, my parents got us a couple of spanish/french language VHS tapes, to help us learn basic language skills for each. My sister and I really enjoyed them, and the songs and characters were really effective at teaching us the basics in a fun way.

Now, my husband and I have two little ones, 5 & 7, and I'd like to get them started on learning French and Spanish. I'm going to be learning them as well, since I'm sad about not sticking with it in my younger years, and in TX fluent Spanish promises a very sweet pay increase Smile

I can't for the life of me remember what my parents bought us, they can't either, and of course, the tapes are long gone and nowhere to be found at my parents house. lol. I would have run out in a heartbeat and purchased a VHS player from a pawn shop, if we could have found them.

Anyhow, long story, short....

Does anyone have any early language educational DVD suggestions for small kids, ideally, ones that are on TPB or torrentable somewhere else... since the foreign language immersion programs apparently can be very expensive and we are on a limited budget this time of year.


Thanks so much!

Am I maybe going about this the wrong way?

Should I ask for a specific video series? O_o lol. I have no idea how the requests work. lol.

It would be helpful for those helping to search through requests to have some titles to go off. Please be as specific as you can and provide as many relevant details. There is a mountain of language learning courses/DVDs etc for all ages out there for free, but we need something particular to search for.

I found this french one for children on TPB, it's level 1 but I'm not quite sure what age group that equates to:

There's this spanish set which may be worth checking out:

Hope this helps.
Could I also recommend Laura Lawless' http://french.about.com site.
The kids section: http://french.about.com/od/kids/

There is also a http://spanish.about.com site. I've not used it, but am guessing it should be good too.
thank you guys! i will take a peek and see what ones specifically might be good Smile

Thank you all for the links! my kids are about ready to get in bed now, but I'll check them out first thing tomorrow morning. I told them what I was trying to get for them, and they're both very excited Smile
