Skylark,
That sounds like a plan let's exchange tips and methods. Right now we are just showing her Little Pim mandarin and we play in the background the Mandarin Pimsleur chinese CD's. This week I'm going to start playing songs from the website you shared to see how she does. How do you know your daughter likes them since it is only sound?
Joha, sorry I have not replied earlier, it was simply busy week
And I thought I wrote here, but I have not, ha
Well, about her liking it. She is pretty good at communication. She very clearly shows when she is interested or likes something and when it is not so interesting for her. I was putting her in the jumper lately for the time when she was listening to Chinese songs, she would start jumping and giggling to them, and would stop when they would stop. I also put a Chinese Children drama/story with narration for her, and put her in her swing to listen. She listens pretty intently, and when it is over she start asking to be picked up, but not while its playing.
The songs from the site I mentioned work out great for me, because they are pretty high quality and really fun ( not boring) musically. I also just started putting the same song in Chinese and English at different times during the day. My husband, said that doing that helped them as kids when they were learning a few dufferent languages. Of course it is not easy to find lots of songs that are done in different languages with good quality, but I am working with the ones from the site right now and it is working out great. I think I will continue doing that.
I also started with 4 different songs and one drama/story, then the next week I added two new songs and retrieved 2, and added another story, just to have a measure of repetition with some new things...
