{Giveaway} Little Pim DVD 3-Pak (language of your choice!)

11/14/2013

71 Comments

 
Are you raising your child bilingually in languages native to you and your partner? Did you study a language and want your child to learn it as well? Do you only speak English but want your little one to have an additional language under his or her belt? Do you want to have fun learning a language together with your child? If you answered YES to any or all of the above, I have a totally awesome company to introduce you to... Little Pim!!

Founded by Julia Pimsleur Levine (daughter of Dr. Paul Pimsleur - created the Pimsleur Method), Little Pim is a language learning system geared toward children ages 0-6 (the prime time for language acquisition). It's a complete at-home program (DVDs, books, flashcards, and CDs) that helps children acquire a new vocabulary and a near-native accent!

You can choose from the following languages:
Spanish, French, Chinese, Italian, German, Japanese, Arabic, Hebrew, Russian,English, Portuguese.

My husband is Japanese, but works a LOT so we worry that my son doesn't get enough Japanese exposure. My Japanese is conversational at best, but I don't want to use it with him much because I don't want to pass along my bad grammar and accent. Suffice it to say I was SUPER excited to try out Little Pim's Japanese pak.

Picture
I know I know, the AAP recommends no screen time before 2 years old. And for the most part I adhere to that. But I have 2 exceptions: 1) when mama is REALLY sick (i.e. flu, mastitis, etc), and 2) when it's for the purpose of having foreign language exposure! So, Little Pim certainly falls into this 2nd category! We've been watching it together, as it's done in a way that gives you time to repeat the words and phrases and engage your child. It's really fun! But for the sake of taking pictures, he was on his own for a while and look how into it he is!! I promise you, it's not just because it's TV. He couldn't give a rats you know what about Baby Einstein or the nightly news! haha!

Now that you have fallen in love with Little Pim as much as I have, enter to win a 3-pak dvd set below (language of your choice)!!

If you can't wait, or if you don't win (boo-hoo!), you can get 20% off
all products on the Little Pim website with the promo code "LPHOLIDAY" (hooray!!!). You can also find Chinese, French, and Spanish Discovery Sets in Toys R Us nationwide.

Oh yeah, did I mention what an AWESOME Christmas (or Hanukkah) gift this would be!?!?

Good luck! I think learning foreign language is an important way to learn about the culture and stay connected to your heritage! Do you speak Japanese? If not, you can learn together - it's fun!!

Ooooh yeah Hebrew, all I know is shalom! haha! Actually, in the intro to the video all the little kids say hello in different languages and the kid who says shalom is hilarious, i will have to upload a clip of that :P Do you think having the kiddies over to watch Little Pim will count as a co-op class?? LOL

11/17/2013 01:44:48 am

That's great, Anna! Hearing the proper accent and having enough exposure when they are very young is SO IMPORTANT for them!! If you wait too long, it's quite difficult to have a native accent, and once they start school in the local language, yikes, it's going to be a struggle but hang in there!! They will thank you when they are older!!
