This is our first audio CD. It contains 7 language
lessons interspersed with 11 beautiful songs. Although my husband and I
spent almost two years completing the CD, we know that it was well worth
the effort. The Chinese often say: “Good things never come easy” and
this project was certainly no exception. We had a lot of fun with it. My
husband wrote the musical arrangements, performed all the musical parts,
and did all the recording. My daughter also participated. We produced
this audio with an eye (or ear) to engaging everyone in the family.
We
are confident that it will be enjoyed by all. Throughout the arduous
task of putting it together, we were motivated by a shared vision of
family sing-along, game playing, and role-playing entertainment. We
pictured productive travel time in the family car; a shared learning
experience with frequent singing breaks to lighten the mood and pass the
time in a pleasant way. This CD is also perfect for the purpose of
preparing a performance. It is deliberately paced for learning with just
the appropriate number of repetitions. I am sure that “Speak and Sing
Chinese with Mei Mei” will prove to be a wonderful asset in the home,
car, and classroom. Mei Mei
