How to use this song with your child

1
Make “Mond” the word of the day
This song repeats “Mond” (moon) on 10 lines. Use it once or twice during the day outside the song, and let your child correct you if you get it wrong.
2
Split the parts
Once the song is familiar, you sing the English lines and your child sings the German ones, then swap. It turns listening into speaking.
