Hi Paula,
Yes, that’s a great idea and exactly one of the ways I was hoping people would use the audio. Please spread the word about this podcast to any of your friends or colleagues who work with bilingual or Spanish-speaking children. Thanks!

This is an awesome tool to incorporate into a library storytime program. It is one thing to find an audio of a traditional classic , but it is another to find a recording that is professionally designed with voice impressions that make the story entertaining. This podcast is a great ease for a puppet show presentation in Spanish. Now I can manipulate the puppet characters and not worry about reading the story simultaniously.
Mil Gracias!

It is counter productive, if not out short-circuiting the process of second language acquisition to have translations into your native tongue while listening and learning the story.

Absolutely Fabulous!

This is an effective tool for those of us that are kids at heart and have heard these stories before. It allows us to follow along with what we know of the stories. I find that this, for me is a more effective way of learning. If you think about it, children tend to learn language through repetition and looking at pictures to infer what the story is trying to say. They don’t try to learn the meaning of every word, but eventually, they understand the concepts and words related to those concepts. For example, in Caperucita Roja, we learn the connection between body parts and more abstract concepts such as the connection between eyes and seeing, ears and hearing, etc. I especially can appreciate listening to the stories from native speakers from different countries. As an adult, if I travel to Panama or Span, I don’t want to be thrown off by the accents.

I’d also like to echo the sentiment that we appreciate the time and effort that creating such a podcast takes. You take the time to produce a tool of learning that truly is of excellent quality. And here’s the kicker . . . it’s completely FREE! We can clearly see that this is a labor of love. (Now if only I could have said all that in Spanish!)

Muchisimas Gracias Eleena y Cody!

Hi Mr. Hathaway,
Thanks for your comment. Your suggestion is a very good idea but unfortunately it isn’t one that I can implement right away. However, I’ve taken note and will consider offering this additional feature in the near future.

Saludos,
Eleena

The english translation should be along side the Spanish for compatative purposes and in order to familiarize one with the disimelarity and changes in the sentence structure and the proper verb delention in Spanish.

I know not about others, but this change would be helpful to me. As an example I have the written book of Goldilocks and the The three bears by Chronicle Books LLC 1998. I am looking for similar books with this type of structure.

Thanks for your anticipated response. This comment is sent to you during my vacation and I will not receive your response until after two weeks from now 3/20/08
