Summer Reading for Kids

Harry Potter

We at Multilingual Books have searched high and low for quality foreign language books for children and are proud of our selection. Here are some of our picks. A child does not necessarily have to be well versed in a foreign language to enjoy a great picture book in another language, such as the famous Tintin series available at Multilingual Books. We also offer a fantastic selection of Spanish picture books. The phenomenal Harry Potter books are available on our site in over 20 languages! And much much more, in Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Hebrew, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Russian, Spanish, Vietnamese, and other languages. See our kid's page or search at our home page for more great kid's items.

Product Reviews

Platiquemos Spanish Course: Digital Version

Platiquemos

Cost: With the digital version, we save printing and cd reproduction costs, as well as shipping and labor costs. We are happy to be able to pass these savings on to the customer. The savings amount to almost half the cost of the "hard copy" version: 1 level $55 [$99 in "hard copy"]; all 8 levels for $399 [$699]. See below for ordering information, and for bonuses included with orders for all 8 levels.

Flexibility: The course in digital format can be used on most computers as is. Most computers have a program already installed to play MP3 files; likewise most computers have the Adobe Acrobat Reader installed (if not, it's free from adobe.com). The text files can also be printed on any printer, and used as any other printed material. Most newer computers have a CDR-W drive (often called a CD burner), and the MP3 files can be made into normal audio CDs which can be played on any CD player.
