Hi Purple Fungi
Can you please tell me if the Japanese version of LP shows the Japanese characters (Hiragana & Kanji I think they are called). I'd like to buy them (have the Chinese ones already) but I want my daughter to learn how to read Japanese as well.
Many thanks
PS: Love your blog!
Thanks!
The Japanese version doesn't have the Japanese characters. I fully expected it to have them like the Chinese version, but it doesn't, saddly. It does have Japanese words transliterated into English, like "inu -dog." It's still a great set of DVDs, and my two-year-old loves them!
Thank you Purplefungi! I just saw your response.
Anyways, I'm not sure how long are you supposed to show each video. My baby is only 5 months old, so it is going to be a while before I know if she has learned any chinese
(hopefully once she speaks it I would know it is chinese and not babbing
) Basicly, I would like to know kind of a watching schedule for the series. You know, like YBCR, they say the first video for a month, etc...
I haven't seen any kind of schedule. I think that Julia Pimsleur might talk about it in her interview type thing that is on the DVD, but I can't say for sure. This might be just five minutes or a section at a time. I can't quite remember.
Dirk (two) watches the entire 30 minutes about once daily Monday-Thursday. When I get sick of it or find myself thinking the words instead of the English words, I know that we probably need to move on to the next one. We have just started the second DVD. Dirk likes to hear me try to speak Japanese/Chinese. He probably know that I sound funny!
I haven't set Derek (4.75 months) up to the televsion. He just hears the movie being played which is good that he hears the different sounds.
