I have recorded the song on my cellphone...actually its my voice with a slideshow...its his favourite.

cellphone and multi-lingual rhymes

a CELLPHONE is a great tool , my preschooler son loves to listen rhymes again and again and again....i have recorded his fav rhymes and hand over the cellphone to him, the GUI has enabled him to understand the path of these recording and he loads it and lo! he can hear his mother singing as long /many times, to hearts content. i have friends from varied cultures...they have recorded rhymes in various languages and it has helped him pick up other language rhymes too...they r memorized within 2 days. the best part is that my child is in control of what he wants to learn and is very skillfully accomplishing language skills.
