Description
Research shows this during the early years, a kid'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 throughout 45 minutes of instruction and exist-action footage this 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 image excellence, lively footage, and more DVD features such as a Spanish nursery rhyme, interactive story, and (when children want a break from language lessons) entertaining bloopers. While not meant to be a kid's sole source of bilingual instruction, it's a worthy tool, particularly if adults can reinforce the lessons throughout the kid's day. The instruction is solid, the image excellence superb, and the interspersed frivolity reminds us this captivating children is the ultimate goal of education. (Ages 2 to 5) --Lynn Gibson

Not bad   2010-08-02
By Amber
This is a pretty good video for babies - there are a lot of words introduced and nice visuals to go with the words. I bought it for my almost 3 year old and it is a little below his level. Probably better for a younger child.

I bought this video for my soon to be three year old. She speaks and understands Spanish already I just purchased this more as a reinforcement. This would be perfect to introduce a child to Spanish but was a little too basic for her. The pictures were somewhat boring and dated. I was grossed out by the dirty feet and long toe nails. I'm weird about feet so that was not one of my favorite parts.
We enjoyed this   2009-12-08
By Mia's Mom (Staten Island, NY)
I ordered two other Dvds with this one and Brainy Baby-Spanish was the best. It kept my 23 month old engaged, while 123 Cuentame un Cuento is a bit advanced and Galloping Minds -- I did not care for at all -- anyone can hold up flash cards! In any event, Brainy Baby-Spanish was worth the buy. I am a spanish speaking mother who wanted to find a good product for my daughter while I am at work so she may study the language while she is at home since my sitter only speaks limited spanish. Thank you Brainy Baby!
Not bad, can be better!   2009-10-07

My daughter enjoys watching it for a little while. She's only 18 months old. She loses interest very quickly. Overall, a good dvd to begin teaching your child spanish.
One great aspect - NO translations! Decent dvd overall!   2009-09-19

This DVD was good. I like the slowness of the dvd, as it works well for *very* beginning learners. I REALLY LIKED that it didn't flip back and forth between English/Spanish; it's much more effective to help children understand the context and meaning of Spanish without always giving a translation. Constantly encouraging translation just adds an extra step in the acquisition. Example - after multiple sloooow slides of apples, I guess they should get "manazana" right!? ;) Yet - it works!! At any rate, my kids will choose this DVD over others on my shelf of Spanish DVDs. Bottom line, there probably are better out there, but this isn't a waste of money either; it's slow, easy and good for beginners. I like to start/stop and give my kids a chance to use the vocab, etc. It works. Thanks! Spanish Professor and MOM
