 Brainy Baby - Spanish :: 1931959285
Description
| Product Description |
|
| 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.

For a native spanish speaker who lives in a non spanish speaking country I found this DVD a great help .
It is a basic starting point, but it is was a thrill to hear my baby (2.5 yrs) repeat all the words in spanish.
There should be more levels of it so we could continue- I would definitely buy them !

I enjoy this video! It is the basic spanish, with no English words.

This is my first Amazon review--the product is just so great I had share.
My daughter has been watching this video since she was 6 mos old--she's almost three now and is just starting to outgrow it. I would put it on and she would sit totally mesmerized for the entire length. Later she started repeating out loud after the narrator. The original VHS was a bit shorter than the DVD (I bought it twice if that tells you anything!), and the shorter version was actually better for her attention span.
She knows all the words, colors, and can count. As a first generation American (of South American parents), it has been my goal to "not lose the language" and to give my child the same gift of a second language that my parents gave me. This video has been an invaluable tool in working toward that goal. This is the only video I have found that is purely in spanish, and I personally think that immersion is the best method of teaching another language (especially to small children just forming any language skills at all). I have the Lyric Language video which does half english and half spanish which is okay but goes too long for a small kid's attention span, and Sesame Street's Fiesta which is fun to watch but only has about eight words (plus the numbers) in Spanish.
I'm patiently waiting for the next level (hopefully soon)--I'm definitely buying it when it comes out!

My first language is Spanish and I got this DVD for my daughter so she can learn more Spanish. The first time she watch it, she didn't care (she was under 1 year). Now that she is older she LOVE IT!! She doesn't move her eyes from the TV.
The Spanish is good, it uses some words that we don't use frequently for some objects (like "bola" for ball) but I can live with that. There is only one word that I think the translation is wrong: "Creyones" I never heard that. We use Crayones o Crayolas but not "Creyones"
Other than that, the video is good, has good content and good pronunciation.

My two year old did not find this video entertaining at all. With other videos such as baby einstein or blues clues he pays attention to what is going on, talks to the television, and so on. This video wasn't able to hold his attention for 2 minutes. The video has a lot of potential. I liked the way they did the counting and how they have only speak in spanish but the english words are in the corner for the parents. The best part of the DVD was the music video for Mary Had a Little Lamb; but they only had that one song. Maybe if they had incorporated more of this technique the video would have been more interesting.

My girl (2 years old, native in Cantonese) started to learn spanish for 1 month. I find this DVD is excellent for a non-native spanish speaker to learn spanish vocabularies. I learn some spanish from the DVD too. Hope that it have more series like bumble bee so that we can learn more spanish.
