Indeed, amazing idea! I wonder how I haven't seen the e-mails and e-cards that you can send from there! I am sure my children would have liked to send some love to their grandparents
I made this song up to teach my grandson how to say hello, how are you, I am fine, thank you and goodbye in all the languages of Epcot. He is six. In 3 months of seeing him once or twice a week, he learned the whole song. When we went to Epcot he had fun saying hello and goodbye to people in their own language.
I've posted the song here before, but originally I excluded Arabic, because I thought it would be too hard. Well, my grandson asked me to write a song for Arabic too! Isn't that great? I am so proud of him.
So here is the updated song. Sing it to the beat of the bones song. You know, the foot bones connected to the ankle bone, the ankle bones connected to the... I really hope you all give it a try!
