Baby sign time

[tlyoung]

Does anyone have a Baby sign time DVDs they no longer need?  Our little one is due in August and I would like to find the beginning baby DVDs and CDs.  As is already posted I'm looking for Little PIM in French too and have an Arabic Little Pim for trade/ Sale  Thanks

...and have an Arabic Little Pim for trade/ Sale  Thanks

tlypung, did you use Arabic Little Pim with your kid? It is interesting to know at what age and with what results. Do you speak Arabe too? I want to know if my grandson could benefit from it with no one talking that language in his surroundings.

I got the Arabic Little Pim with a gift set.  I have not used it or any of the other Little Pim DVDs yet, our little boy is due in Aug,  I have the Spanish DVDs 1-3 and will get the French one after I sell or trade for the Arabic. I changed my mind for now and an going to work on Signing, French and Spanish first.  I can at least help with them and my husband is fluent in French.  I think Arabic and Chinese would be my next two languages after seeing how the others go.  I think exposure to the correct way to pronounce words is an important foundation for learning the language later in life.

Our daughter (20 yrs old) learned French from Muzzy, family and later in life school.  She started watching the videos at around one year.  we lived on the border of Germany and France.  She would go to the markets and use the words she heard on Muzzy.  Most French speaking people don't know that French is not her native language.  I do agree that Muzzy is not for babies and it could use improvements but 19 years ago it is all we had.  I will use Muzzy  with the new baby once he is older.

i had no idea that Muzzy was that old. Nevertheless my grandson and i like it. At least now it comes with 5 languages on the same DVD.

I like My Smart Hands so much more than Signing Time, and the price is much better too!    They have a channel on YouTube which hosts a free dictionary of about 300 words.  You can make custom playlists to build your vocabulary and even insert favorite songs if you like.  Lara Berg, the creator of My Smart Hands, gives much better explanations of the signs than Signing Time (or any other sign language video I have seen.)  This makes it much easier for me to remember them.  She also just launched an interactive Sign Language Dictionary iPhone app of over 300 words for only $4.99.  That is about the same number of words as the entire Signing Time series for less than you would pay for shipping to get their DVDs.  I am seriously considering buying an iPhone now.   Maybe they will come out with a version for PCs.

Karma to you

Thank you 2010BEBES.  Their dictionary is nice if you have a specific word to look up, but I highly recommend checking them out on YouTube as well.  It is really worth going through the learning curve to make playlists on YouTube anyway, if you don't know how I'm sure it would be easy to find a video that demonstrates.  Here are the advantages to using playlists:

   Customize exactly which words you want to see to build your vocabulary, then change the playlist as you learn new words
   Select autoplay option, so one video will automatically follow another
   Select shuffle option
  Select full screen mode
   Search for playlists other users have already made (keyword mysmarthands)
