How to use this song with your child

1. 1

   Make “alsjeblieft” the word of the day

   This song repeats “alsjeblieft” (please) on 13 lines. Use it once or twice during the day outside the song, and let your child correct you if you get it wrong.

2. 2

   Pause between the call and the answer

   The song moves back and forth between English and Dutch. On a second listen, pause after an English line and let your child try the Dutch answer before the song sings it.

3. 3

   Make it a routine

   At 2:12, play it once a day at the same moment for a week. Wave every time the greeting comes round in the song; then wave without the music and see if your child says the word.
