I was planning to ask the same question. In my case, I downloaded Chinese LR files - both Traditional and Simplified. Then I changed the pronunciation of the words because my daughter is used to my voice and pays more attention. For the Simplified chinese files I also changed the words to traditional characters because that is what I am teaching my daughter. I want to upload these edited files into the library so that my sister who also has LR but lives in another country can download them for her son. So I just need to ask the author's permission (like MIP1999, I don't really care about the points) and send you a PM, nhockaday?

patreiche,

thank you so much for putting all of these together in one place. really helpful and time-saving! 

Ver 1.5.238.

By the way, while I have you here, nhockaday, I just want to tell you how much my baby and I love your "Colored Things" LR files! The pictures and pronunciations are excellent. Thanks for sharing them.   

Hi Brillkids Team,

In the playback screen of LR under categories, there are two buttons "arrow up" and "arrow down" at the bottom for re-organizing the categories. I used them to change the order of the categories I downloaded but somehow after I close LR and reopen again, the categories are out of order again. This is a minor problem but I was just wondering if there is something I'm missing or doing wrong?

Hi Ixxi,

Thank you for sharing this. I have been using the powerpoint dot slides with my daughter. I double-checked them today and you are right! Fortunately, we haven't gotten past 50 yet. I have corrected my slides. I didn't realize there could be someone else more obsessive-compulsive than I am.  But I sure am glad you are! Thanks!

My 15-month-old loves nhockaday's LR files "Purple Things," "Yellow Things," "Red Things," etc. I like them too. They are very well-made with excellent pronunciation. You can find them in the LR Library under English downloads - Shapes and Colors.

Thank you, everybody, for your kind words. I received several PMs asking me where I got my flashcards and photos so I am just going to post my reply here. The English flashcards are from YBCR, the Chinese flashcards are from Baby Learns Chinese boxed set, and the composers' photos I made myself. I just searched for the composer's portrait online, printed it out on photo paper, printed out 10 POIs about that composer on another sheet of paper, and laminated them together.

Regarding French and Spanish, unfortunately neither my husband nor I speak these languages. For now, we are just exposing her to these other languages by letting her listen to French/Spanish music CDs in the car and watching French or Spanish videos during the weekends. I also show her the Glenn Doman picture dictionaries which you can show in 5 languages, including French and Spanish. Here are some of my foreign language resources:

French - Little Pim vols 1-3, Baby's First Words in French CD, Lyric Language French DVD and CD, Songs in French for Children, Un Deux Trois: First French Rhymes (Book & CD),
Spanish - Little Pim vols 1-3, Baby's First Words in Spanish CD, Globe Toddlers in Mexico DVD, Jose Luiz Orozco's music CDs, Whistlefritz's Spanish for Beginners DVDs.

Hope this helps. 

Thanks for all your encouragement. I am certainly no expert in teaching a baby music as I have only been doing it for the last month or so...ha ha. I did read a lot about it and I just modified/adapted the methods to suit my baby. I am currently doing a couple of things to teach music to my baby:

1. Perfect Pitch/Note Reading - I used Doman method to teach her this. I played 3 notes on the keyboard and named them (e.g. do, re, mi) 3x a day and after 3 days, I retired one note and added one new one. I have finished that and now I am teaching her to read notes also using Doman method.

2. Classical Music - I started by playing one short piece of music from one composer, show her the card, and say the composer's name and title of the piece before and after playing the music. I do this 2 times a day for about 3 days (usually while changing her diaper or changing into pajamas at bedtime) and just added more and more pieces from different composers as we went along. I get my pieces from Beethoven's Wig and Themes to Remember which I loaded on iTunes. So it is easy for me to play the piece from my iTunes library after I do a session of Little Reader since I already have my computer turned on already. Then I just added more and more pieces from different composers as we go along.

She picked up the music and naming the composers much much faster than I had expected. Sometimes she would even "request" a particular composer by picking out his picture and giving it to me. Right now her favorite is Vivaldi. 

This is a little off topic but I was just curious, nhockaday, when you started teaching the alphabet and phonics to your son? I assume he was already reading whole words at that time? did you introduce the alphabet first then letter sounds or both at the same time? how old was he at that time?

Thanks ariel and mirra! I started YBCR with her at around 3 months old and after 6 months, she already knew most of the words in the videos and flashcards. Now, I do LR English and Chinese with her 2 sessions/day, Doman math using the dot cards (quantity and equations) 3x a day, classical music and perfect pitch/note reading 2x a day, Tweedlewink right before bedtime, and French and Spanish mostly during the weekends. My husband and I both work fulltime so we only have about 30 minutes with her in the morning and a couple of hours at night. She is in daycare during the day. I don't have time to do EK cards so I use the Doman picture dictionaries for the days when we have extra time. I like it that you can show the bits in English, French, Spanish, and other languages. 

Wow!!! Thank you, iyph28, for sharing all your hard work especially for the explanations! Do you mind if I convert this to traditional Chinese for my daughter?

I just want to share some videos of our 15 month old baby having fun with reading and with music. I am so grateful to BK and forum members here who have inspired us to start teaching our baby so early. Before I stumbled onto this forum, I never thought that a baby could learn so much and so fast. Thanks for helping us maximize our daughter's potential! 

Hi momtoo,

Thanks for the tip. I was wondering if we can combine our memory magic coupon from the brillkids forum shop with this discount? It would be awesome if we could!

I had the same thing happen to me when I downloaded some Chinese files the other day. You can find KL's suggestion on this thread which solved the problem for me.

Of course! Now why did I not think of that! Thanks KL!
