Update - Thanks for all the feedback. You guys were a big help. I did borrow Little Pim from my local library and my 2 year old loves it. She wants to see "bamboo" everytime...that's what she calls Little PIM. I've started her on both the Spanish and French together but now, I'm not sure if I should just be doing both together. Any thoughts? I think the literature out there says, it's okay to expose them to more than one language at a time. We've been looking at Little Pim for about a month now. How soon did you guys start seeing your little ones actually speaking in different languages? For instance, my daughter understands quite a bit since she attends a day care where Spanish is spoken and she knows how to count beyond 10 (in Spanish) and say some words. But just wondering about the French...how soon should we be seeing results? I know...each child is different but is it like: you expose them and one day, they'll just start talking it or do you see your kids talking in other languages regularly? And I am doing reinforcement exercises like when we see a spoon, I use the Spanish or French word.

Hi all. I'm the one who started this thread. Just wanted to give an update. After reading another poster's discussion (somewhere else...not this thread) about using the library as a resource, I checked my local library and sure enough they had the Spanish and French versions of Little Pim there. So, I rushed over and borrowed them. I'm so anxious to see it and how my daughter responds to it. Wish me luck. I looked at the Muzzy site and thought that it might be more appropriate for an older child...looks like fun though. Maybe I'll try it later on. Once again, thanks for all the good input.
