How to use this song with your child

1
Start with “manzana”
Before pressing play, say “manzana” (apple) once yourself. Hearing it in a song right after makes it click faster than the song alone.
2
Split the parts
Once the song is familiar, you sing the English lines and your child sings the Spanish ones, then swap. It turns listening into speaking.
3
A quick one: try it with an activity
At 1:30 it's short enough to play twice in a row. Ask “are you hungry?” in Spanish before a meal and wait for the answer.
