Item Description...
Description

Outline
Research shows that during the early years, a child's brain is wired to absorb the syntax, sentence structure, and dialect of a second language. Based on the concept of total language immersion, Brainy Baby: Spanish is a commendable tool for those seeking bilingual enrichment for their youngsters. Only Spanish is spoken through 45 minutes of instruction and live-action footage that covers familiar objects, colors, numbers, and phrases. While there are several bilingual videos on the market by notable companies, this one stands out for its superb sound and picture quality, lively footage, and extra DVD features such as a Spanish nursery rhyme, interactive story, and (when kids need a break from language lessons) entertaining bloopers. While not meant to be a child's sole source of bilingual instruction, it's a worthy tool, especially if adults can reinforce the lessons throughout the child's day. The instruction is solid, the picture quality superb, and the interspersed frivolity reminds us that captivating kids is the ultimate goal of education. (Ages 2 to 5) --Lynn Gibson

 | Music too loud! Nov 30, 1999 |
Overall is a good teaching tool, if a bit boring. It took several tries to finally get my 2 year old son to look at it for more than 5 minutes. The slow pace seems geared for babies only, as the title suggest.
My biggest complaint, though, is that the music is far too loud. It almost drowns the woman's voice in some spots. It's very distracting!
And that's the other problem: the woman's voice. My son -and most kids- would repeat the words in Spanish more readily if they were spoken by children!
I still consider it a good buy, though. Useful to a degree, at least. | | |  | TOTALLY EXCELLENT IN ALL WAYS Nov 30, 1999 |
This DVD is totally excellent. FInally, I found a DVD that knows that you need to teach things on a gradient. Plus give the english for the word to avoid confusion. Plus give lots of pictures.
This DVD is not just for babies, it's for everyone, because that's how we all learn.
BUT I have a BIG problem with it - I went to order the 'rest of the series' and am dumbfounded that there is only one disk!!!! I was hoping to buy at least 5 and probably 10 more similar ones, each one building on the previous one, so that my husband and I can learn, as well as our children!
I recommend that Brainy Baby market this as for adults as well as children.
When will No. 2 be ready please?

| | |  | An OK DVD. There are much better options now... Nov 30, 1999 |
Generally speaking, This DVD is OK. I used it with my oldest child... but not too much because it did not really manage to keep her engaged; and to be honest, I don't think that repetition of vocabulary words is the best way to learn a language. After all, that is not the way we learn to speak. Also, the music is not great... and the speaker, even if she has a good accent, still is not native...
The truth is that at the moment, there were not many other options out there, specially full-immersion DVDs or CDs.
Luckily for my second child, there are much better options available now, specially foreign productions. I am specially excited about a collection of DVDs by A LA VIBORA DE LA MAR that I discovered on a trip to México. I have been using them with my 2-year old for almost a year, and she absolutely loves them (these are full immersion DVDs, in fact, they were designed for Spanish-speaking babies... but they have worked wonders for my children who have developed an acute ear for the language)... I strongly suggest you check them out. They are now available through this site (at half the price I paid for them in Mexico!!) I have 4 titles and we love them all. | | | | Wonderful learning tool Nov 30, 1999 |
| GREAT video for teaching your child the most common Spanish words. My daughter also loves "Brainy Baby - English". My only wish is that the company would have one video with the option of choosing which language you want to hear it in just as the Baby Einstein series does. Both Brainy Baby videos (English and Spanish) show the exact same footage but just with a different language. The company is out to get our money by getting us to buy two videos instead of one on the same topic - common words. Shame on them! | | | | Baby loves....123 Cuéntame un cuento Nov 30, 1999 |
| We are a hispanic family living in the US. When my baby was born, I received this DVD as a present, together with another one called 123 Cuéntame un cuento. My baby likes Brany Baby... but he LOVES 123 Cuéntame un Cuento. | | | Write your own review about Brainy Baby - Spanish
