Professor Parrot® Speaks Spanish in the Beginning

Professor Parrot Speaks Spanish DVD cover
Professor Parrot was first introduced to the world in 1997. Professor Parrot makes learning Spanish easy and fun with songs, dances, games, and puppets. Younger children stay actively engaged in this multi-sensory experience designed for early ages when language learning is most important.

Professor Parrot was first introduced to the world in 1997 and received the Gold Star from Parents' Choice. Over the past 25 years, Professor Parrot has started children on their journey to learn a new language and make friends from around the world.

The video was originally put out on VHS and then was converted to DVDs. The DVD is still available today on our website www.firstSounds.com. Indeed, DVDs are not as popular as they were in the past. But, we're still shipping them out to folks. Families and children enjoy watching the classic Professor Parrot video for a fun and engaging introduction to Spanish.

​Professor Parrot® Speaks Spanish on YouTube

​While perusing YouTube, I came across a Professor Parrot Speaks Spanish video upload. The user had recorded it from a TV using a phone camera and then put it on YouTube. 

I played this bootlegged copy for my two-year-old granddaughter who was engaged and excited to watch the video. With bright colors and fun songs, Professor Parrot Speaks Spanish stands the test of time with children. Seeing that young kids still love this classic video and knowing that parents stream educational content now more than ever, I was inspired to share Professor Parrot Speaks Spanish with everyone.

Professor Parrot Speaks Spanish is now available on the firstSounds YouTube channel for FREE.​

​Free Professor Parrot® Speaks Spanish Videos

There are six videos. The segments are broken down by chapter that correspond with the Professor Parrot Speaks Spanish Activity Book. The companion book is a great learning tool that kids can use alongside the videos to reinforce learning.

We are in the process of locating the master tape. Therefore, the quality of these free videos is currently only available in standard definition.

I am thrilled to share Professor Parrot Speaks Spanish for free so that more people can enjoy this classic and award-winning educational language learning tool.

How the Sound Beginnings Language System for Babies Works

We created an easy to follow infographic to explain how Sound Beginnings can help infants become bilingual and multilingual later in life.

To learn more, read our previous blogs:
How to Introduce Babies to Multiple Languages
How to Use Sound Beginnings Language Development System: Auditory Stimulation for Babies
Sound Beginnings Language System for Babies
1.) Infants are born with all five senses: sight, smell, taste, touch and hearing. Babies use all five of these senses to learn about the world around them.

2.) Auditory stimulation can enhance a baby's brain development. Sound Beginnings language development audio downloads give babies a sound background.

3.) Sound Beginnings can create tonal memories on the rapidly growing brain cells. Tonal memories can enhance language acquisition possibilities later in life.

4.) Developed for ages 0-18 months. Using native voices and traditional music that keep in sync with each language's rhythm, Sound Beginnings is played for infants at an early age.

5.) Listening activates neural pathways and increases sound recognition skills. Making it easier for your child to become bilingual or multilingual.
