To Mandabplus3,

Hi, thanks for reassuring me that I have plenty of time. Sometimes I just feel that there is so much to do and so little time. Your suggestions are practical and yes, I will see what type of rotation is good for my daughter. Thanks for the suggestion of getting a dry erase board, I think that will work very well when I go out with her and want to show her the words of things she is seeing.

Ok, now that I know that there are generally not enough files to completely teach a language in the share file section, I would like to ask you the following questions. You are teaching Spanish and Japanese to your kids but you don't speak these languages yourself, right? What exactly do you use to teach them in Spanish and Japanese, and how is your schedule like if you don't mind sharing? You suggested Little Pim and Wink to Learn, but I would like to know what are you using, just to hear your experience.

I dont know when I will be able to make Japanese file, but I will upload them when I do.

Thank you.

Hello. I have just started using LR with my 9 months old daughter a few days ago. I am using LR to teach her English and simplified Chinese. My husband and I together we can speak 4 languages: English, Chinese, Japanese, Malay. I hope to teach my daughter to read in these 4 languages as well, plus other languages we don't know such as Spanish, French or others.

I have seen the videos from the winners of the video contests and am awed to see such young children being able to read in 4 or 5 languages. I have lots of questions regarding this and hope parents who have succeeded in teaching their kids many languages using LR could tell me how they did it. Here are my questions:

1. Do you (father and mother) speak and read the languages that you teach your child to read in?

2. Did you teach your child to read all those languages using LR mainly? If so, did you create all the files yourself by using LR's English files as templates? Or are the files from the LR library sufficient to set up a curriculum like the English one?

3. If you are using LR to teach your child to read in a foreign language that you don't know at all, what language is it and are the files in LR library sufficient for teaching that language?

4. What would you advice about teaching a foreign language you don't know yourself to your child? I feel so uneasy because I won't know how to pronounce and won't know whether the pronunciation that came with the file is correct or not, or whether the voice was cut off or not. Also, will your child be able to speak in that language?

5. How do you make your child sit through so many sessions? 4 languages will mean 8 sessions a day, and 5 languages will mean 10 sessions a day! I don't know whether my daughter will be OK with that or not. I am doing 4 sessions a day now but I don't know whether or not she will lose interest if the number of sessions increases.

These are the questions that run through my head when I watched those videos. I really wish my daughter can learn many languages like them as well! I checked the Japanese file but obviously I will have to create my own files if I want a complete curriculum and there are no files in Malay yet.
Please advice and let me know your experience. Thank you.

Hi, I have just bought LR deluxe and the Chinese curriculum. My daughter is 9 months old now. She seemed to be interested in the trial lessons and her interest has maintained up till now. I hope she will continue to be interested in LR. But if I do meet with any problems, please advice! Thank you.
