 Brainy Baby - French
Description
| Product Description |
|
| Studies show that children exposed to a second language during the first few years of life can more easily master the sounds of that language. Based on the concept of total language immersion, Brainy Baby: French is a commendable tool for those seeking bilingual enrichment for their youngsters. French is the sole language spoken through 45 minutes of instruction and live-action footage covering familiar objects, colors, numbers, and phrases. Words are repeated for reinforcement (and written on the screen for early readers), while classical music by Mozart and Vivaldi plays in the background. "chapters" selected from the DVD main menu allow wee ones to watch in small, digestible segments. Extra features include a French music video sing-along, interactive storybook, and hilarious baby bloopers. Such excellent, original offerings set this program apart from other bilingual language videos. The instruction is solid, the picture quality superb, and the interspersed frivolity reminds us that captivating kids is the ultimate goal of education.

Our son is almost 2 and is half French, half Chinese. This DVD has surpassed Elmo in demand, which is amazing. He is distinguishing between the two languages, as well as English, and this DVD entertains him with its comfortably slow pace, repetitive frames, and vivid colors.
He repeats the words as he hears them which to us, is the sign of a successful learning aid.
Ignore the negative reviews, particularly those with bad spelling ; )

I purchased this DVD for our 3 year old daughter and within 2 days we had her counting in French. It was very slow paced and repeatative. She loved it and we were able to refresh our skills as well. Ignore the negative ratings and give this a shot. You will find yourself speaking French in small amounts but something is better than nothing.

I'm pretty pleased with this title as my little one has managed to grasp a couple of french words. He is only 20 months (1yr 8mths), but he understands and can utter a few french words and can now count from 1-10 in french.
We are from Malaysia, therefore English and Malay are our first two languages, (which my son already understands and converses in pretty well for his age). I wanted to expose him to other languages, so that is why I bought the French and Spanish Brainy Baby titles. I have yet to start him on the Spanish title though.
It's a good introductory DVD, but I guess the only way you will get your children to be fluent in any language is to converse with them on a daily basis in the languages that you want them to be fluent in. So basically I would recommend this DVD to parents who would like to expose their little ones to French. I won't recommend it to parents who expect their little ones to be able to converse fluently in french by watching this dvd. For that they should hire a french tutor!

I almost didn't buy this DVD for my daughter based on the few negative reviews of it. Well, I'm glad I didn't listen to them, because I think this DVD is quite good for young children learning French. It's true that the DVD should include the articles with nouns (it should say "une balle" and not "balle"), but I watch it along with my 2 year old and say UNE balle or UN livre where appropriate. As for the voice on the DVD, my French husband and mother-in-law could not say for sure if it was a native French speaker, but they agreed that her accent is perfectly good and will not lead your child to pronounce French improperly.
We just got this for Christmas and my daughter has requested it several times. Although her father and I often talk to her in French, she only speaks in English. I'm hoping this DVD will help her feel confident in her French. Already she is having fun repeating the words along with the DVD, and it brings us great joy to hear her speaking French, even if it is just repetition!

We are as thrilled with Brainy Baby FRENCH as we are with the Spanish one-way to go Brainy Baby! Total immersion-of at least 30 minutes a day-according to the experts and with Brainy Baby being 45 minutes, this more than fulfills that requirement. We practice even the everyday phrases like please and thank you as often as we can out loud which has gotten some strange looks from strangers in public!
