I was on vacactions, we just got back...we went to visit my lovely sister in law and her family, she is also teaching chinese to her kids..I had the chance to watch this chinese fun songs dvd she purchased in amazon:
Here is the link
http://www.amazon.com/Dance-Learn-Chinese-Mei-Vol/dp/B0002J4ZR8/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1291019927&sr=8-4My daughter loved it..she saw once and she keptasking for it..so I'm thinking on buying it. I like the fact there are other children in the dvd speaking chinese, dancing (very cute steps)and singing. I think is well made and also very understandable. They have subtitles in english and also and the chinese characters.
Just another opction for whoever is teaching simplified chinese to her kids.
Have a good day.
