RUSH into English

I was reading a blog about language development for older adopted children, when I came across a link to RUSH into English. This CD was put together by an adoptive mom and it explains to the child - in Russian - that this CD is to help them learn English. It has sections on colors, food, family, school and phrases like "I don't feel well" "Where is my mom?" "I only speak a little English". It also came with a book to follow along and flash cards to cut out and use. I'm really looking forward to see how Andrei responds to it.

We also got the Parent's CD which has a lot of the same words and also phrases for the parents like "I'm your mom" "You are safe - don't be afraid" "Come with me now". It's really cool. I have a Russian learning book, but it mostly has travelling phrases, not mom and dad phrases. The same website also now has Mandarin and Spanish CDs

The CD is in my car player and also on my iPod and hopefully I'll be able to memorize as much as I can in the next few weeks.
