"It's great for being able to read Latin and understand it immediately without translating."
"All of the chapters of volume 1 of Orberg's Lingua Latina are recorded here with the Ecclesiastical pronunciation. I recommend you read the chapter, do the exercises, then re-read the chapter, and keep re-reading it until you can read it at the speed of English, without looking up any words. This is Ecclesiastical Latin pronunciation, not classical! They've done a great service to those of us who are trying to move from Latin translation to Latin fluency."
"As a homeschooler I wanted them to have a chance to try something different (they were getting burned out) and this series seemed a wonderful opportunity to have some fun and see their previous studies bear fruit in the pleasure of reading real stories. I went back on-line to order myself a book (I had realized I wanted a text, too) and was surprised to see that there was a new addition to Amazon's set: "Lingua Latina Per Se Illustrata Pars I: Familia Romana Latine Audio: Ecclesiastical Pronounciation" in MP3 format."
"This sounds like a recording of students in a college latin class or spoken latin club."
"To learn to speak Ecclesiastical Latin one must hear it spoken and this CD provides an excellent means used in conjunction with the Lingua Latina Per Se Illustrata Pars I. I highly recommend it."
"This is a review only of the audio samples here on this page."
"Really great audio that makes study time that much easier."

"My older children remind me how grateful that they were given the opportunity to learn so many important things through music."
"Didn't want to risk what changes might have been made to the new Sounds Like Learning CD, so I purchased this MP3 version instead."
"Counting (1-30 and by 10's), opposites, manners, letter sounds....I really like every song except the alphabet chant song (and that one I just can't enjoy because I'm too used to hearing the alphabet sung as the traditional ABC song)."
"This CD was worth its price just to get the Letter Sounds song!"
"The "Letter Sounds" song is maybe my second favorite, with my first being "I Love You So Much.""
"I had these songs for my children and now my grandchildren are listening to them."
"We looked for it at discoverytoys.com, but the cd was pricey and I didn't like the new version of the Letter Sounds song."

"My baby really loves most of the songs in this CD."
"I have had the cd for over a year now and it's been in constant rotation since we got it. I also own the 3 Whistlefritz DVDs and my daughter loves them and watches them constantly."
"Wonderful compilation of children's songs."
"We have quite a few albums of children's songs in Spanish."
"I bought this CD along with the Whistlefritz DVD "A jugar", and was upset when I realized many of the songs in the CD are just repeats from the video."
"The music is okay for my 4 year old, unrecognizable to my 2 year old, and annoying for me in the car."

"We played this tape every night as our young children fell asleep."
"Having said that, the appeal of this CD and other CDs by J. Aaron Brown (like "Rock-A-Bye Collection Vol 2 and "A Child's Gift of Lullabyes")for me is not only that the songs are peaceful and beautiful, truly worthwhile music, but that it's music that moms and dads find appealing, too, so much so that listening to the songs is enjoyable for the parents, too, while they snuggle with their precious gifts from heaven."
"Well low and behold little sister came along last year on May 15th and I looked frantically for my cassette and couldn't find it. !, now little sister will be lulled to sleep when she comes over to grandma's house just like her big brother did a long time ago. in the mail, and had the family over for supper one Sunday afternoon, I started the c.d."
"There are five songs on the CD with each song having a vocal and an instrumental version (10 tracks on CD). And, Amazon's price for this CD is much better than if you purchase the CD elsewhere (at least it has been each time I have purchased it)."
"Had the cassette when I was little and was enthused to find the CD for my son (since our cassette player is wearing out)."
"My children ages 9 and 5, beg me to sing these precious songs at bedtime. 10/5/09 Update: Almost 5 years later and my 4 youngest children continue to enjoy this CD."
"Like many here,my wife got this tape as a gift in a baby shower.We opened it up and the music was unreal! My son is now 21 and can remember every word on that tape!"

"This lullaby cd was my children's favorite."
"I bought this for one pregnant friend and now the daughter she bore uses the same tape (I think it was a tape) for her baby!"
"When my niece (now 21) was little, her grandparents, parents, & I had copies of this DVD (cassette tape back then) in all our houses & cars, so it was played anywhere she napped or slept -- for years."
"My daughter grew up listening to these songs and now it is the album she falls asleep to every night and she is four and has quite the selection on the ipod."
"This music rocked my children to sleep 25 years ago, now passing them on to my grandchildren and grand-nieces/nephews."
"My grandbabies love the sweet music!"
"On being satisfied by the research performed on this collection, I decided to take a plunge and bought the mp3 version here and downloaded onto an Ipod with a Dock. Tanya Goodman has a special god-given voice that will immerse you in a sea of melody. My wife usually sings the songs while sitting on a rocking chair with our baby on her arm, while Tanya Goodman's voice/magic fills the bedroom. Tanya Goodman's voice and the lyrics will be enjoyed by all irrespective of age, gender and religion."

They've always talked about their fond memories of the songs and our family singing these songs together. We all love hearing our littles singing these songs even when we aren't playing the music!!"
"Great songs for kids to sing along to and without knowing it they are learning great life lessons."
"I highly recommend Teaching Peace by Red Grammer!"
"When you purchase a CD, do you ever expect that EVERY SINGLE SONG will be great? People have told me that "my kids" were still singing "Teaching Peace" (along with the ASL signs) at lunch together in high school."
"We listened to this as kids and now my daughters love it too.... barnyard boogie is the favorite."
"Much better in my opinion than listening to "old macdonald" or "itsy bitsy spider" over and over (not that they don't enjoy adult music too, but they love the simplicity of kids tunes)."
"I bought this collection as a cassette tape 30 years ago for my children. While some songs have been updated (I miss Baby Beluga!)."
"I have to admit too that since having children, I have found it hard to relate to popular music on the radio, but with Red Grammar's Teaching. Peace, I feel like I've found something that resonates with me too."
