The AKILO (language) Party

       

What is an Akilo_Party?            An Akilo party is a party you and your friends can hold for   your baby at (or before) age 6 months.  At about age 6 months   a baby starts to acquire only those languages which are heard.                         (Actually any time before age 2 is OK.)            So -- play these songs at the party and then frequently for   another year and a half or so.   This helps to develop perfect   pronunciation in these languages:  .  Arabic, Portuguese, Russian, Turkish, Italian, Bengali, Polish, Korean,   Tagalog, English, French, Thai, Hindi, Spanish, Urdu Japanese, Punjabi,   Tamil, Chinese, German, Indonesian, Hebrew, Greek, Swedish & Swahili
