Sing Along to SEMSHAE, Have Fun, and Learn Tibetan!
author: Teresa C. Dowell
Listening to SEMSHAE is such a fun and wonderful way to learn the Tibetan language. The cd is filled with beautiful music and singing by Jhola and the singing of Tibetan children. My children and I listen to the cd over and over again and enjoy it every time. The lyrics in the little booklet that comes with the cd are written in the Tibetan language, phonetically in English, and translated into English. As an avid learner of languages, I think the best way to learn a new language is by learning songs and singing them over and over again; the language becomes a part of your heart, mind, and soul. An example of a few delightful lines from the song, "Out in The Garden," are "There is a sweet singing bird./ Oh the red bird, oh the red bird,/ Come to my garden, come to my garden." Covering the Tibetan consonants and vowels, numbers, days of the week, seasons, animals and nature, colors, and other essential words, SEMSHAE-HEART SONGS is a Tibetan language learner's dream come true! Thank you, Jhola, for keeping an ancient and magnificent language alive!

Excellent!

My two year old was chirping along to these songs on the second hearing - he'll be counting in Tibetan in no time! We've played this record many times and, unlike many kids cd's, we still like it as much as they do. Techung strikes again!

I enjoy this CD a lot. Sure, it will please kids, but it's also a great CD for anyone young at heart. The children voices are adorable and the whole CD quite enjoyable.
