Dance and Learn Chinese with Mei Mei

Great Chinese songs to teach your toddler or preschooler. I used it with my daughter and she still enjoys it even after more than 1 year owning it. There was a period when she only wants to watch this DVD and nothing else, not even ELMO! She likes to follow the actions too! We are having fun singing and moving to the music and at the same time learn Chinese too.

It provides english translation, Chinese subtitles complete with pinyin and tone marks. Other than singing, the children recite the songs so we can get a feel of the correct tones for those Chinese words.

Pro:

• Great selection of action songs, very attractive for young children
• Great selection of familiar tunes such as Twinkle-twinkle little stars, Mary Had a Little Lamb, Row Row Your Boat, Are You Sleeping, Head and Shoulders Knees and Toes, Happy Birthday in Chinese.
• English and Chinese character subtitle
• Pinyin subtitle have tone marks

Con:

• Not teaching words by words
  We can still learn a lot of basic Chinese phrases from it, but requires some prior knowledge of Chinese language from parents to teach their children using it.
