Studio8 - Uniting the Arts

beatles songs in general are a good suggestion, as well.
i'll have to think about which ones i could use and how (and look for a way to play my old vinyl records to her without a record player)...

Sorry Panta Rhei - I didn't know the child was not an English speaker. The Beatles spent a few years in Germany before they made it big and released singles in German. I know that "I want to hold your hand" was a big hit for them in Germany which they sang in German. Maybe getting both versions of the song and playing them will help.

ARTIST: The Beatles

Das war noch nie bei einer andern einmal so
Einmal so, einmal so
