Language Dolls Provide Great Way to Learn Foreign Languages

By Pola Rosen, Ed.D.

Did you ever think about teaching your child foreign languages before they started school? Language Littles provide the perfect venue for learning Spanish, Chinese, Italian, French, Greek or Hebrew from ages 3 to 12. These adorable dolls (boy and girl dolls) measure about 16 inches high and are dressed in their native clothing. For example, the French doll wears a beret, has a black and white striped top, blond very curly hair and a little pocketbook slung across her shoulder that has a heart. When you press the hands of the doll, phrases are spoken in the foreign language. When you press a small heart on the leg, the doll says “I love you.” Over 25 phrases and words are learned from the dolls.

The accents are excellent so when children imitate the phrases, they will incorporate them correctly into their vocabulary. A booklet accompanies each doll with phrases and colorful illustrations.

There are also 8 inch mini-dolls available as well as 32 inch super size dolls. Each grouping of dolls contains eight variations.

These huggable and lovable dolls are also teachers. What a great way to initiate foreign languages into your child’s life. #
