DUH!

Using Poetry to Learn Two Languages

Poetry is a great resource for learning a second language because the cadence, rhyme, rhythm, and patterns of a language are often reflected in poetic offerings. Having children chant rhymes and songs in the target language provides opportunities for weaving sounds throughout the mouth, practicing words, playing with the rhymes, and becoming comfortable with the strangeness of the new language.
