How to use this song with your child

1. 1

   Count the “maçã”s

   “maçã” means “apple” and comes up on 15 lines. Keep count on your fingers together; older kids can try to predict when it's coming next.

2. 2

   Split the parts

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

   Make it a routine

   At 1:59, play it once a day at the same moment for a week. Ask “are you hungry?” in Portuguese before a meal and wait for the answer.
