How to use this song with your child

  1. 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. 2

    Read the meaning first

    Most of this song is sung in Spanish. Skim the translation column below before you listen, then listen once without looking. Kids catch more than you'd expect when they already know what it's about.

  3. 3

    Make it a routine

    At 2:57, play it once a day at the same moment for a week. Ask “are you hungry?” in Spanish before a meal and wait for the answer.
