The Tuesday & Wednesday CDs -- SWAHILI                        

 

                                                       

      Our Baby Safari language CDs were created just for infants (birth to age two) to help them develop native pronunciation skills. 

 

      Also -- since each CD contains Chinese and Thai, they help an infant retain pure pitch (musical) ability.   An MP3 CD contains 38 language-strings.  Each language-string contains 25 segments (in 25 different languages).
