Overview

Speekee is the exciting new Spanish language learning system for young children

Speekee is a new total-immersion Spanish learning experience for young children. With no English spoken at all, this cutting-edge method is the ideal way to learn a language and your child will start speaking and understanding Spanish simply by watching the DVDs.

Designed by professional linguists and educators, the Speekee DVD course is groundbreaking in its use of accelerated learning, music and 'authentic' speakers of the foreign language. And what's more, Speekee is great fun to watch!

Children love learning Spanish with Speekee because it's colourful, fun, entertaining - and very easy to follow. In fact, some children learn Spanish so fast with Speekee that they can repeat Spanish words and phrases after watching a single episode!

Why should your child learn a foreign language so early?

• Children are natural language learners.
  
• Children learn languages faster than adults.
  
• Language learning stimulates brain development.
  
• Language learning helps speed up learning in other subject areas.
  
• It is a great head-start in life. 
  

Why learn Spanish?

• Spanish is spoken by about 500 million people worldwide.
  
• Spanish is one of the world's fastest growing languages.
  
• Spanish is the second most used language in international communication.
  
• Spanish is easier to learn than most other languages.
  
• Spain is a very popular holiday and emigration destination.

Why use Speekee?

• Designed for non-linguists - Speekee is great for parents with little or no experience of Spanish that are helping their child to learn a new language. Why not learn with your child?
• Total-immersion - The ideal way for your child to learn a new language.
• Authentic Spanish accents - Speekee uses native Spanish speakers (from Spain, not South America)
• Real Spanish children - Young children are highly engaged by watching and listening to other children; it's natural and innate for children to copy and imitate their peers.
• Great music - Speekee uses music extensively and very intelligently. Children learn quickly and effectively through the medium of song and music. The Speekee songs are very catchy and make learning fun and enjoyable! They are suitably paced for young children and are within a vocal range that little ones can manage comfortably so no-one gets left behind! Repetition and matching actions get children actively involved.
• Cultural references - Each Speekee episode features a cultural section so children will learn about Spanish culture and not just the language!
  

What you get in the Speekee pack:

• Four DVDs (Region 0, PAL)*

Ten action-packed Speekee programmes, each based on a separate theme, expose children to a wide variety of interesting and relevant language. Each episode follows a set format, which includes:

• A host of fun and engaging characters
• Original storylines, songs and language learning games
• Regular prompts from Speekee for your child to repeat the new Spanish learned
• A "magic tunnel" transporting your child to authentic locations in Spain, such as the park and the beach
  

The fourth DVD includes the videos for all the songs featured in the programme - great when you are in the mood just for singing and dancing!

Extra features include subtitles in Spanish and English.

• Audio CD

34 tracks, including karaoke versions, of songs featured on the DVDs.

• Comprehensive 72-page parents' guide

A fantastic resource for parents, this comprehensive guide will provide all the help and advice you need to introduce your child to a second language. It doesn't matter if you don't know any Spanish yourself - you'll soon get to grips with it.

The book provides you with ideas for activities to help your child's language-learning that tie in with the themes presented in the Speekee DVD series. The activities are easy to understand and copy and will fit with your daily routine.

There are parents' notes to accompany every episode, giving you all the help you need to extend your child's learning beyond the DVDs. 

Finally, there is a simple Spanish to English and English to Spanish dictionary at the back of the book, featuring all the words from the series.
