I'd like to start teaching my 12 month old French but I don't speak French. I was wondering if anyone does "sleep learning" where you play a foreign language (or any bits of information) to baby while they are falling asleep and apparently they retain like 60% or something like that.
Anyone do this?
For how long should I play the French CD? Should I play it just while she's falling asleep or for a couple of hours?
Many thanks!
Lucy

My daughter likes to listen to a Spanish language CD while she goes to sleep at night. We do not speak Spanish in out home (because no one knows how), but I have been told that her accent is amazing.
Once she is sleeping, we turn it off.

I have never researched that. it just made perfect sense to me that you have a child who is lying still amd quiet in the dark and her auditory sense would be tuned in (until she fell asleep that is). i'd love to read some research on it.

there is a bit more on teaching french thread, namely that first 5minto half an hour after the child fell asleep are the best time for learning in your sleep and a study showing babies under one still absorbing audio material while asleep.  I think I will try it out on my younger ones nap time and will let you know how it goes. |

I just started playing cds for my daughter - I am using http://www.pimsleurapproach.com/as this method is based only in audio they do not use books and it has been highly reccomended to me by several people. Other cds are talking and refering to page numbers or other references that well if you are only hearing would not make any sense - Pimsleur is based on audio exclusively. Will keep you guys posted about progress - can not yet comment on results. regards Gloria |

Do you normally play this CD just before your child falls a sleep and how long do you play and how many times during the day. |

Hi, Had never heard about foreing language learning while sleeping. However I am pretty sure it works. My mom used to put the audio Bible to my younger siblings as they fell asleep, and they learned many Psalms pretty quickly.
I have a Pimsleur program at home. Never thought about using it while my baby sleeps. It is different than other programs in that everything is audio. No books and no reading. But it is also based on translation, which some linguists do not recommend. It tells you a word or sentence in English and then it tells it to you on the other language, then it tells you to repeat it. It uses several dialogs and it works step by step in the sentence structure, so you pretty much learn naturally.
I was raised in a bilingual environment, but I did use this program to learn a little of other languages. It is fairly easy to use recommended 30 min. daily.
You can buy it online...$100 each big set
Hope this helps

Hi Gloria!
So far, what can you say about the product?Is it good? Is it worth the money?
Will this work for a 2 y/o?

Has any found any scientific evidence for sleep learning? I've tried looking for literature and haven't found much support - although it would be fantastic if it worked!

Interesting article!! So it's true that burning the candle at both ends before sitting exams doesn't work. But there's nothing to suggest that you can learn passively while you're sleeping. No wonder preggie mums and new mums forget lots of things - cause of the disrupted sleep (waking up constantly to relieve your bladder ... and then waking up to feed/settle bub ...)
