International BABY 101 English & Japanese

International BABY 101 English & Japanese is especially designed for infants up to two years old. The video portion of the DVD consists of images of various toys, household items, animals and children - all real world items that will pique your baby's interest. The audio portion of the DVD is comprised of 14 famous songs sung in your choice of English or Japanese such as: Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, Old MacDonald Had a Farm, If You're Happy and You Know It, Mary Had a Little Lamb, Do-Re-Mi, I've Been Working on the Railroad, and many more. International Baby 101 takes advantage of DVD technology to allow you, the parent, to choose what language your baby should listen to. The DVD is multiregional and can be played by DVD players worldwide.

This DVD is fun as well as educational. The inventive yet simple approach is wonderful for young children. But even as an adult, I found it pleasing and can see how I could learn from this. I picked up on some words and phrases. This will spark anyone's interest in learning more Japanese. The quality DVD has your choice of watching the "movie" or listening to the audio.

This is a great educational DVD for young children, or an ideal way to enhance the learning experience along with other Japanese learning materials. Find out more at our Children's Japanese section.

Italian Literature

We are truly becoming more multilingual everyday. We are now introducing our new Italian literature section: http://www.multilingualbooks.com/italian.html#literature.

We sought out the best titles in Italy and came up with a great selection of what Italian people are reading these days. These books, completely in Italian, are a great way to supplement your Italian learning experience and fulfill your desire to read Italian literature. One interesting title is: Io uccido by Giorgio Faletti. So, dia il benvenuto a al mondo di letteratura italiana. Buona fortuna!
