Grassland Animals Bilingual Puzzle

I grew up in a mixed ethnicity family. My dad did not teach me his Native language because of embarrassment and shame stemming from his lived experiences. From segregation to harassment my Father did not want his children to struggle as he did. As I grew up, I learned my history and was proud to share that part of my culture with the world. Part of me always felt a little disconnected from family and parts of my culture because I didn’t know the language. I had the privilege of learning in college and by studying abroad. I am still not perfectly fluent, and it is something I wish I learned sooner. It will always remind me of my dad. I originally came across the set at our local Goodwill. We went back multiple times trying to find the wand, but never found it. I ended up researching the brand and purchased the wand. Teaching my son, who is two now, both languages is extremely important to me. To see something like this, literally brought tears to my eyes and excitement in my heart. There is no price on the gift of language, heritage, and culture. Not to mention, the content of the book is extraordinary and powerful and uplifting. I was shocked when I used the wand for the first time and it not only read the words but it also provide the vocabulary for any illustration on the page. Very impressed. Thank you to the team for providing such a tool to encourage the diversity of all families.

Extremely impressed with quality of each book, know it will last in little hands. I have 2 and 4 year old grandkids that actually like to use the wand over the words and phrases. Just hearing the Spanish will help them retain the language and accent.

My one year old loves to play with the books. He attends an all Spanish day care so this is a fun way for him to practice.

Habbi Habbi has such powerful resources that my family has been thrilled with! Our toddler throughly enjoys going through the books herself and using her Star tool to listen and repeat. This is especially helpful in our household as only my husband speaks Hindi. Also, as far as anybody that has come and understands the language, they are pleased with the translations and accuracy too. It’s a fun resource my daughter gets to “test” her dad with! We love Habbi Habbi!

I purchased the Starter Set in Spanish and the other set of the Mandarin flashcards to expand our current Habbi Habbi collection. We already own a set of Mandarin flashcards and a good amount of the Mandarin books. 5 books plus a wand is such a great deal and will allow both of my older girls to now have their own wands.

The wand allows them to read on their own in the target language at 6 and 2 years old so they feel more in control of their language learning. Even my 2 month old enjoys the music and words in the books.

As a monolingual English speaker and mother of 3 kids teaching them Spanish and Mandarin, Habbi Habbi products are heaven sent. The books are not just great for kids but for adults as well as they are helping me practice my speaking skills in both languages.

I cannot recommend Habbi Habbi enough. I am a true fan and look forward to expanding our collection even further in the future.
