Growing With Spanish

Yoto Dice: Learn Spanish through catchy songs, rhymes and short scenes while sharing in an adventurous day outdoors!

Growing with Spanish is an engaging way into the language for children aged 3-9 and beyond, taking us through a fun and melodic day in nature .

We move from the garden, countryside and woods to the river, beach and camp close to a lake —meeting a variety of creatures and enjoying traditional songs & rhymes along the way.

Young listeners will enjoy a range of musical moods —from the gentle, rainy harmonies of Pican, pican las gotitas to the tropical vibes of Vamos a la mar and from the lively melodies of Sobre el puente de Aviñón to the sleepy tranquillity of Toronjil de plata.

To learn Spanish or any language with true confidence means mastering its sounds —and knowing songs and rhymes enables children to do just that, totally naturally. They sing, they repeat —and all the while the sounds are reinforced.

This is music for children that parents love too —with acoustic instruments, quality musicianship and high production values. So you can un-grit your teeth while immersing your child in the sounds of Spanish during their receptive first decade, then keep the language fresh later on with songs you’ll love to return to!

The album is spoken and sung in a gentle Latin American Spanish (a European Spanish version is also available here).
