The Tunes

Songs and rhymes, just like stories, constitute a natural form of second language adquisition.
A wide range of songs, poems, chant and action chants have been designed to guarantee further language practice.
Not only do children learn vocabulary but pronunciation and intonation patterns too. The repetitive nature of the chants makes them easy to learn and hard to forget.
