I've just bought Little Reader and installed for my 9 month old daughter. I remember before we bought it hearing it mentioned that it could be used to teach foreign languages as well - do I need to download something to do this or how does it work? Thanks in advance!

There are loads of foreign language downloads in the community section, in pretty much every language you can imagine. They also have a whole organised curriculum for mandarin. From what I've heard that is organised pretty much like little reader english curriculum, but its in mandarin. I've heard talk of doing something similar for other languages like french and spanish, but I don't know the ETA on them. And even after looking through all those you can't find exactly what you want, you can always make your own.

Hope that helps a little.

Current respite foster care mom. No perminant kiddies yet, and none planned for a few years. Hopefully when it comes time to settle down I\'ll be well prepared.

I seen on one of the BrillKids distributor stores that there are 22 language packs available to download - does anyone know where you go to download these?

Up the top left is a button that says little reader library. Under that is a drop down box that says Languages. In the languages section you can download content made by other parents in any of the languages listed. There are plenty to choose from. Now that LR files are easy to turn into courses many parents are making whole language courses and uploading to the share section. You can copy your LR English course and add your own audio in the language of your choice if you don't find enough resources premade. It is time consuming.
There has been a recent release of an entire FRENCH curriculum, and it looks wonderful! Check out the free trial under software trial tab above.

I've just finished LR with 18 months.
My girl point every image I show, and also can read a lot of words.
What to do next?
Move to another language?
Spanish is my main language.

Thanks!
