Review by KSL for Speak & Sing Chinese w/Mei Mei
Rating:
My daughter and I listen to this cd in the car while out and about. We both love listening to the songs, repeating after Mei-Mei saying the words in Chinese. My daughter( 28 months old) actually asks to listen to it…. ” Chinese” please!
The cd starts out with teaching you how to count to 10, next are 2 songs Little Ducks & Where are my Friends. Next you’ll learn names for some of your body parts and then you sing the 1st verse of ” Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes”. The rest of the cd alternates between learning & repeating what Mei-Mei has said and then a song. My daughter loves the Two Tigers Song…which is strange because 1 tiger has no head and the other tiger no tail.
The Cd is very much the same as the VHS or DVD of Speak & Learn Chinese With Mei-Mei. Mei-Mei’s voice is clear and easy to understand as well as the children who are also on the cd. I just can’t say enough nice things about this CD. You won’t be sorry you purchased it!

Our four year old wants to listen to this cd and watch the Mei Mei dvds continually. She is absorbing the language from these products, which are relatively well produced and affective compared to the other Mandarin products available. There is no way we’ll learn Mandarin like our daughter, but my wife and I find our selves humming these tunes, even when the cd and dvds are not playing, and it is driving us crazy.

I got this CD to hear some traditional kids’ songs and because of all the positive reviews, however, I was seriously disappointed. First of all, the audio quality is terrible and Mei Mei, while she seems to be a very nice person, has a dreadful singing voice that I simply can’t stand. It ruins the songs, unfortunately. Second, the Chinese ‘lessons’ are extremely simplistic and not for kids who already speak any Mandarin. You learn to say a few common words, but this is no more speaking Chinese than just saying ‘Bonjour’ and ‘Au Revoir’ is speaking French. If you actually expect your child to become fluent in Mandarin (like my son, who is in an immersion program) I believe this CD is actually counterproductive since it asks the child to first think of the words in English.
I gave this two stars since the booklet that comes with the CD is actually very helpful and includes all the words to the songs in pin yin.

I got this CD for my daughter because I read all the good reviews about it. It is overall a very good Chinese learning material. Lots of fun songs and the arrangement is not too stiff or boring. But I am not crazy about the teacher’s singing voice, not very soothing and can be annoying to some people, thus the four star rating.

Our daughter loves to sing along to this CD while riding in the car. She’s learning the words much faster than we thought she would. We have two cars and found ourselves moving it back and forth from one car to the other, so we bought a second copy. The songs are quite charming. And the lessons very practical.
