[Nikita]

Spambots. KL or lappy mentioned them a year ago or so, but you're the first to bring it up again! Just PM me. And dont forget to give me your email address when you send a message, otherwise I spend a lot of time replying asking for the email address!
Playlist 3 is out...did I mention that?

i just want to make something very clear. i only sent one person the dvds and no money was involved. as i dont even have a paypal account. if it wasnt illegal i would send everybody who needed a copy without thinking about it. i am a single mother so i cant do anything that could put me in jail. am posting this because some people can be very mean.

What's going on jakim? Have people sent you nasty PMs? If so, then that sux!! Whoever it is or whoever they are need(s) to GET A LIFE!!!

Having bought a camcorder, I've decided to make my own clips, with the help of my kids and friends/relatives, to aid learning, and put them on Youtube for all to utilise freely. No copyright on my part! I'll basically be teaching reading and EK via teaching reading. They'll start of shockingly bad no doubt whilst we learn what to do.
I'm sure while I homeschool any children these projects can be part of the curriculum. Any ideas on what I could class these clips under, for education registration subject descriptions.
Obviously ART...photography of some sort. Media. Information Technology/ computer studies...has to go on a computer and on the web...
Playlist 4 and Christian Playlist are nearly finished. It's been relaxing looking at all these clips!

I've found a channel on youtube, 'chinesefamily's channel'
http://www.youtube.com/user/chinesefamily#p/a/D0F0413128D62F3E/0/JpoFA-nLE3E
would anyone who's a chinese speaker have a look and tell me if the quality is good? 
(nikita, i haven't had the courage to go through all your links so i don't know if you mentionned those clips-i have a 56kb internet connection..)

Quick look at the clips...I think they are Playlist 2 material. Maybe list 3. Will have another look before releasing list 4.

I found these series of videos with both the composer's picture and an excerpt of one composition playing in the background while the composer's name, year born-died, and title of the composition is scrolling up. Am not sure if you've already included these to your list. I wanted to share these since my 31/2 yr old watched each one very intently:

Great Classical Composers
(8 videos in all with viewing time averaging 10 minutes each)

I didn't put the whole link in since I have already tried to upload these into the video gallery several times but without success. I hope you also find these beneficial for your children as it was with mine.

Thank you. I have now added them to Playlist 4. To be released any day, will forward on to all who have my last lots. Full of music, art and craft, science and languages...so as to help kids be able to discern between different languages. I can now tell between Spanish and Portuguese, and between japanese and Chinese. That's quite an accomplishment for me. An of course, some alphabets etc.

Hi Nikita,

Thank you again for your hard work in compiling these resources. 

I have a question for you.  This is NOT A CHALLENGE.  I respect you and what you are doing for us, but I sincerely want to know how you filter through the different language videos to determine what to include and what not to.

I like to know what I'm showing my son but I only speak one language and understand a bit from two others...Chinese or Japanese are neither of the two. I watched a few of the videos in the previous lists and there's one of a group of girls dancing around singing.  I'm sure I can trust you, but if you don't know the language either, how do you know if it is appropriate?  I'm curious as to what they're saying - how do I find that out?  I don't want to just delete these from my playlists, but I do want to be responsible and "feed" my son information that I know will be good for him.

Again, this is not meant as a challenge to you, rather as a plea for insight

Thank you,
Kizudo

Kizudo...I want my kids to learn quite a number of languages, and to recognise the writing of as many different countries as possible. That they can recognise hebrew, Greek, arabic etc alphabets and Japanese and Chinese characters. I'm concentrating on the languages I want my kids to learn, but including a wider variety so they can hear different languages, so as to discern the differnces between them, and to also be less likly to have an accent if they learn that language in the future.
The dancing Chinese and Japanese girls...dont have a clue what they are saying. I think those sort of countries are less likly to be swearing etc than we westerners...they're more respectful and less criminally inclined, so less likly to be crass, rude and crude. The choice of dancing girls is that I want my kids to get into dancing,  (and singing) so to be exposed to a clip of a language and dancing routines, with lots of colour and singing, kills a few birds with one stone. And if they are saying anything bad, it would be many years before my kids or myself realised that. Mind you, Most of what I know (and most people I know) in other languages is swear words. Strange phenomenon that. I put them on between drier clips, to get some physical exercise going on. To keep interest and concentration up. For enjoyable entertaining education.

Hi hypatia,

I had a look at the link you posted below and found that everyone should be able to understand what's going on in the short clip. There is the English translation below everything they said in Chinese. The content should not be a problem as you could understand it easily by reading the English translation.

Hope this helps.
