They do a little bit of French at nursery and I must admit I had noticed DD1 is extremely enthusiastic about it - is always asking how to say things in other languages - plus she picks up phrases very quickly and her accent's brilliant. But she's starting school in Sept and they do very good French there so I wasn't planning on doing anything. The nursery head, however, stopped DH today to say we really should capitalise on it asap - apparently one of the other teachers there has been doing a bit of Spanish with her too and she is saying the same thing.
She does nursery 5 mornings a week and no clubs or anything and I'm really not keen on scheduling anything else into her week so I'd rather not do any clubs or activities - so what can we do at home? It has to be something fun, not anything I'd have to sit down to do with her formally, as I also have a 2.5yo DD2, and also DD1 is very resistant to that kind of approach (from me anyway).
I've seen a Muzzy DVD and wasn't too impressed - are there any other DVDs / CDs / books I should be looking at?

Nursery says 4yo DD1 has serious talent for languages and we should do something about it while she's still little. Should we? And if so what resources are there?
