The coupon code MERRYCHRISTMAS2010 is not working.

Dear Jakim,

We had just tested the code on our online store @ www.winktolearn.com. The $10 discount code seems to be functioning well. Upon ordering your program, you may insert this code in the shopping cart whereby you should be able to view a row for customers like yourself to insert the code "MERRYCHRISTMAS2010". For your kind information, this coupon is only applicable for WINKtoLEARN's online store. Please feel free to contact us if you need any further assistance.

Blessed Christmas!!!

Regarding the Filipino/Tagalog folk songs and children's songs, most (if not all) are already public domain since they are songs that have been handed down from generation to generation. If ever some of them did have copyright, in all probability, they would have expired by now. However, I am not an expert on this. This website has a good collection of the traditional songs in Filipino/Tagalog: http://tagaloglang.com/filipino-music/  You might try to contact them about including their songs into your program.

Dear Aangeles, thank you very much for your sharing. We will liaise with the abovementioned company to explore some mode of cooperation together. Wishing you a beautiful weekend ahead!

I do have a suggestion to make if it's not too late in the production process. I hope that the musical rewards at the end of each lesson would consist of traditional children's nursery songs and folk songs in Filipino - e.g. Paru-parong Bukid, Leron Leron Sinta are some examples. My daughter loves listening to children's songs (in any language) and, when she was watching the Chinese DVDs, I think she learned as much from the Chinese songs at the end as from the flashcard lessons themselves - the songs certainly helped to reinforce the words she learned from the flashcards.

I also have the WTL Japanese DVDs and we are working through the first disc and, so far, I haven't seen any Japanese children's songs at the end of the lessons (unlike in the Chinese version) and I must say her attention definitely wanes during the musical reward part in the Japanese DVDs. That's about the only thing I don't like about the Japanese version. Otherwise, it is an excellent product.

Thanks!

Dear Aangeles,

Thank you very much for your kind suggestion. The musical reward at the back of each flashcard lesson meant to be a chill out time for children. We were fortunate to be able to obtain the rights of a record company for the Chinese songs. In the event that you have contacts of such companies holding rights to Filipino children songs, please let us know and we are definitely happy to include those songs into the programs.

Dear Aangeles, I am excited to inform you that the product is already at the final stage of production. We are expecting the full version to be ready by early Jan 2011. Please take a look at the cover attached. I am sure you find the custumes very familiar and personal.

I will notify immediately once the product is ready for sale.

That's really awesome!!! My hubby will be especially pleased as he is the one who is primarily teaching our daughter the Filipino language. Thanks for making my day! 

P.S. I do love the traditional costumes on the cover. Can't wait...!

Thank you very much for your kind comments. At the back of the product, it comes along with the profile of the Filipino teacher. We hope that this product can serve many more families like yours who are keen to help their children in learning Filipino.

Have a great week ahead!

That's really great! You can't imagine how difficult it is to find early educational materials in Filipino/Tagalog for my daughter! So far, I have a few books and some Youtube video clips, but that's it. Are you planning to come out with a full DVD program in Filipino too? I hope you are...

Dear all,

Finally a series of properly-designed flashcard apps for you! We had included 10 lessons from our Speak & Read series into iPhone/iPad apps. The best thing about this is that we had created flashcard games for each lesson. It's a great reinforcement tool and good fun too! Comes in English, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Malay and Filipino!

Is there really a Filipino version? How come I don't see it available for purchase?

Dear Aangeles,


The Filipino app is already submitted to Apple iTunes for approval. It should be approved by this week. Once the app is made available in iTunes, we will do another announcement again. Thanks so much for your kind enquiry.

Great!  Now that I've used it, I have some suggestions though.  First, I would have it say the word when doing the game.  I'd want it say, for example, "nose" when you hit both the picture and the word.  Right now, you just constantly hear (what I assume is...) "right" or "wrong".  Also, I think it would be good to have an actually button to push to switch the slide when doing the flashcards (and maybe, somehow, hide the current back arrow).  Between me trying to slide it forward with my finger and my son wanting to touch the screen (and the back arrow button)..we don't make much forward progress - !  It just goes forward and backward, etc.  It might be easier to keep my finger in one spot and hit a button.  Anyway - still one of the best ones've seen/used for what I want in an app for Chinese!  I'm looking forward to the updates!!! 

Dear TheyCan,

Thanks so much for your kind feedback. We had forwarded your comments to our development team. I am pretty sure that this can be managed in the upcoming app updates. Is it possible to trouble to post say a positive comment in iTunes for our apps? This will be a great assurance to many other parents who are looking for such properly-designed flashcard apps in iTunes. I sincerely appreciate your kind help in this instance.

Dear Nikita,

Thank you very much for your kind help in posting the youtube video. Yes indeed, we are launching two more languages in month of Sept - i.e. Japanese and Korean. These are excellent flashcard-based programs helping children to pick up the language systematically. If you are interested, please send us a PM or email @ [email protected]. We will definitely keep you notified once the program is launched.

Keep up the good work, Aangeles!

Dear aangeles,

Thank you very much for your kind feedback. Yes indeed! Mommywendy enjoys the free music CD promotion as well!

Dear Mommywendy,

Thank you very much for your kind purchase. Yes indeed, we had received your order. It will be mailed to you free of charge as stated in our website to you by tomorrow. Our newly launched Speak & Read Chinese 6-DVDs program (Enhanced Version) is the only DVD program that contains three versions of Chinese formats used in these days:

Mainland China and South-east Asia: Simplified Chinese
Hongkong: Traditional Chinese with Standard Chinese pronunciation (Beijing-standard)
Taiwan: Traitional Chinese with Taiwan Chinese Standard pronunciation

On top of these, we had blended in more than 20 children songs within our lessons which simply makes the lessons alot more livelier than any other flashcard-based programs in the market place.

We hope that your child benefits from our programs. Lastly, please look out for our posting in September whereby we will be launching our Speak & Read Japanese flashcard-based 4-DVDs program and also Speak & Read Korean flashcard-based 4-DVDs program.
