Great site but too bad it is closing down soon. Maybe BrillKids can partner with Ron to keep it running???

Hi Skylark,

I've added another one - little snow flake. This one is just the video. Obviously this will be much quicker to produce.

Here's a rough translation: little snow flake, little snow flake, floating in the air like a flower, on the window it turns into window art, into my hands it disappears.

For those who downloaded this file earlier, my apologies. I had exported the file without pictures, audio and video! I have updated it now, please download it again. The song/video is really cute.

Hi Skylark and Joha,

I know it's a little hard for non-Chinese speakers to use this software. I will create some LR files using the materials and upload them here. Hope that will help.

Hi HH,

That's great! I recently purchased Soft Mozart. I have only play a little with it and am still learning about the software. It will be great to have your lesson plan and home practice. Thank you!

So far I only use Songs, Stories, and Learning Center. I had a quick look at the listing of cartoons series and TV series. Those are from regular kids TV so not something I want my kids to see anyway.

I found this a few days ago and I feel like I've hit a jackpot. (The same feeling I got when I got the Homeschool Freebies of the Day link from this forum). You have to download a little tool (beta version) that allows you to download song, story books, shows, poems... many more, all in Chinese. It is from China, so it is simplified Chinese (Mandarin). I've scanned it and did not detect any virus. The best thing is, you get all these for FREE!

Most are flash files, the songs (and others) are from various sources so quality varies, but I have already found tons of great stuff. And I'm thrilled to find familiar songs of my childhood that I haven't heard in ages.

This is great for people who can read Chinese, if you can't, you may still be able to use it after you've familiar yourself with the interface. http://player.61baobao.com/web/html/help/21.html
The buttons across the top are: Songs, Stories, Learning Center, Games, Cartoon, Cartoon Series, Early Education, TV Series, Premium Service, System Setup

Enjoy!

Hi TABS,

I asked the same question, but the answer is no, you can only use one discount, either 20% or points.

Hi KL,

I had to go to a meeting, but I didn't want to miss the discount, so I went ahead and bought the LR + LM package (LR is for her). So do I just create an account for her? I'm pretty sure she hasn't signed up yet because she just had her second baby, even though I told her about it months ago.

Thanks,
Joan

I'm thinking of getting LR for my friend. Would there be a problem since the license key is under my account?

BTW, my LR is flashing that there's a newer version available, however, when I check, the version on the Brillkids site is 1.1.118, but my version is 1.2.115. Hmmm...

Did you mean www.starfall.com?

I see.

Hi KL,

I was really excited to get the Mother's day coupon because it says "20% off even on already discounted item" and use coupon to "save an extra 20%". That would mean to get LM, I could get 25% (using 2500 points) + 20% (mothersday). However if the shopping cart only allows one code, how can we get the extra 20%?

Thanks,
Joan

Dear iyph28,

Sorry I didn't see your reply until now! Thank you for that thorough explanation. I think it's great to be an ambitious mommy. I have certainly seen amazing things in young children that I never thought possible. Your child is blessed to have you as mommy. I think that is also true for so many mommies on this forum.

BTW I live in Singapore as well but was born and raised in China.

Dear Gloria,

It's great that you are working so hard to teaching your daughter Chinese. Besides English and Chinese, my kids and I are learning French together. Hopefully I can upload more Chinese materials for you soon (I've been so busy at work recently).

Cheers!
Joan

There's also instructions on how to assemble the books.

Hi Deisi,

Did you make all the materials? I'm really interested in the memory chapters. If you can share them that would be wonderful!

Thanks,
Joan
