The boys like to listen to a CD before going to bed. On Monday, Wednesday and Friday Geo chooses the CD and Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday ISH does (Sunday night, everyone's favorite Parent's Choice Night).
For a few nights of Geo's choosing he selected the Learn to Speak Russian CD that he got awhile back in his Chick-Fil-A kids meal. I didn't really think much of it- after all I had tried in 8th grade to memorize a scene from Romeo and Juliet I had put off learning until the night before by listening to a recorded section of the play over and over again while I slept and that didn't really seem to work- but today as Geo walked by and randomly muttered Russian to me, I started thinking that there might be something to subliminal learning.
So here's how you do it-
Step 1: Get a CD
Step 2: Play it while you're asleep.
I mean, it seemed to work for Geo. Now, anyone else have any foreign language CDs we can add to the rotation? Maybe something a bit more useful than Russian?

I'm glad to see children learning a foreign language at a young age. Learning a language such as Russian can be quite challanging.
I think you should most definitely add some Spanish into the mix :)
Somehow I feel that would be more productive than Russian, unless I'm raising a 1985 CIA agent, in that case Russian would be very needed.
The nice part is he actually gets Spanish in school- starting at kindergarten. Now I'm the one who needs to sleep listening to Spanish because I have no idea what he's saying :)
