It works!!! Thank you so much!

Hi KL,

I upgraded to V1.5.152 and also importing 5 Category Files(parts 1-5) successfully. However, I still got the "import canceled by user" message" when I tried to import the "English Course Semester 2 Curriculum (DOWNLOAD FIRST) (0.4MB)" file. So the curriculum list under "Courses" is still missing for me.

Thank you,


Sorry, I meant V.1.5.252.

[ To TheyCan: They did mention the composer beforehand. ]

I have volume one of "Themes to remember". Unfortunately, my 5-year-old did not really care for this CD, instead she LOVES "Beethoven's Wig" CDs that we borrowed form the library. She likes to sing along with those CDs.

I will play "Themes to remember" CD more to my son and see if he likes it.

Have you looked into "Themes To Remember"? http://singnlearn.org/classicalmagic/index.html

You may want to read the review on Amazon. Hope this helps.

[click here to listen with your default audio player]

I don't know if my method is the easiest, but it works for me. This is what I do:

When I click on the pronunciation (the audio symbol near the word), there is a small window pops out saying "Audio pronunciation for.....  hear it again....". I click on click here to listen with your default audio player link. This will open my default audio player application and play the pronunciation. I get to save the audio file there.

I am interested to know as well. Would anybody please share.

I showed my son LM for 10 days or so. He was so happy to see the different icons at the first few days, and now he seems lose his interest and look away.

Hi CP,

I do not know Simplified Chinese myself, so I goggled and found this following website. You could just copy and paste any Traditional Chinese words and select "繁体字→簡体字(例：對→对 )" before you click on grey conversion button.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for sharing your story.

I love the LibraryThing and will definitely start using it.

I am totally interested in a new forum category for older kids. I can use all of your help.

Hi Gloria,

Just wanted to say thank you for your posts. I really enjoy reading them. They help me a lot.

Hi KL,

Based on your suggestion, the playback order will have be set as "according to list", not "radom" anymore. Is there any way to fix that?

I have showed my son about 45 files in English (English-Pic) and started to translate some of the files into Chinese (Chinese-pic) and show him just these few days. As this was the only way I could think of.

I saw a video clip of people flashing cards in 2 languages (ex Chinese-English-Pic) at the same time just recently, and was wondering if I should follow this method. Any input would be very much appreciated.

For us:

No.1 is Chinese. I am a Taiwanese, so teaching my kids Chinese is simply by talking to them. Since they live in the US, I do not worry about them learning English.

The problem I heard from a lot of Chinese parents here is that the kids will try to avoid speaking Chinese, but only English, once they go to school. Mainly because their friends all speak in English at school. My daughter started to talk to me in English a lot after she went to preschool. Anyway, I try to talk to her in Chinese most of the time so that she does not forget this language.

No. 2 is English. My husband does not speak Chinese, kids mainly pick up English from him.

No.3: My daughter asked to learn Japanese, so we are going to work on that.

No. 4: We are thinking to have the kids learn German or French.

Thank fatima786 for this great post. My daughter told me that she wanted to learn Japanese for quite a while. Since we don't speak Japanese, the best way I thought about was sending her to Japanese preschool. Unfortunately we are not able to afford that.

So, thank you all for the great links and ideas. They really give me HOPE now. To start, we are going to let our daughter use Rosetta Stone (Thanks Texaslady2 for bringing this up) to learn Japanese.

You ladies are the BEST!!!

By the way, to learn Chinese, some of you may find the following link useful.
