How to use this song with your child

  1. 1

    Make “anno” the word of the day

    This song repeats “anno” (year) on 9 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

    Split the parts

    Once the song is familiar, you sing the English lines and your child sings the Italian ones, then swap. It turns listening into speaking.
