Free Music Notes for Uni Verse of Song: French
Free Music Review: Good Cd, 4 Stars
This is a really good cd in that it actually introduceschildren to French......but I was very upset by the LACK OF French inthe songs. It's a great idea but there needs to be a lot more Frenchinvolved in the songs.....and I also noticed that the adult male singsmost of the French......while more of the children sing the Englishparts of the songs. This isn't fair considering it's a cd forchildren AND some of the child singers were from a Frenchinternational school. ... if MUSIC FOR LITTLE PEOPLE made a cd withthe same basic idea, only all in French with just the childrensinging. ... I'm sure a cd made this way would be a hit. The cd isgood to buy if you want to expose your children to French, though.Just don't expect there to be much French.....which means yourchildren won't be learning much of French. However, it's a great toolas a supplement.Free Music Review: Useful
Hit: 4 Stars
I found this CD useful for learning French myself and trying to teach my 1 year old son. The English translation is very handy when you are starting out in French and useful for instance while driving or when you are busy and can't refer to the written translations. The music is mostly very nice and some of the tracks are beautiful like "its raining its pouring" and "clair de lune"
As my French progresses I find the constant intrusions in English annoying and I prefer to CDs now that are all in French. Some of the English speaking in the CD is also very cheesy.
Free Music Review: mix of french and english
Hit: 4 Stars
This is an audio CD mixing french as well as english traditional songs for children. It is 15 songs, with aditional 15 dialog where kids play translation betweem English and French which is an excellent way to encourage kids to speak French. The songs are very close to the heart, signed in both English and french, however most of French songs are by Rene, and the English are by Kids. All their voices are excellent, and you can easily follow them after few trials. I wished that The CD has the songs written, and to seperate the french from the english in seperate tracks.Free Music Review: another disappointment!

Ugh! If you want to buy this to help your children learn French, be forwarned that there is VERY LITTLE French on this album. The female vocalist's voice isn't all that lovely and there is way too much English sung and spoken (and I can't quite understand why -- there doesn't seem to be much logic to when and why it's spoken). Sure, wheels on the bus is cute and fun, but it's mainly in English. What's the point??Free Music Review: Almost all taken from Laurie Bernkner's "Victor Vito" (but with a little French) and no credit given to her anywhere!
Hit: 1 Stars
When I first listened to this CD my kids and I immediately thought we were listening to the wrong CD. Almost all of the unique representations of the songs have been taken from Laurie Berkner's "Victor Vito", with no mention or thanks to her anywhere, and the French is pretty minimal, to boot. I was really disappointed. We have way overlistened to "Victor Vito", which is nobody's fault but our own, but we were looking for something really different and didn't get it. A disappointment to say the least.
