Questions parents ask

How can we use nature songs on a walk?

Listen to one at home first, then go outside and look for its words: a tree, a flower, the sky. Finding the real thing gives each word a strong memory.

26 key words and phrases, including de boom (tree), het blad (leaf), de tak (branch), groeien (to grow), de bloem (flower), de tuin (garden), de bij (bee), ruiken (to smell). The full list is above, and every song page shows the complete lyrics with translation.

Are the Dutch nature songs free?

The lyrics, translations and word lists here are free to read. Playing the songs is part of Premium, which you can try free for 7 days. The first unit, greeting songs, is free forever.

How long are the songs?

Between 2:00 and 2:51 each, about 16 minutes for all 7. Short enough to replay, which is where most of the learning happens.
