Movie Reviews of Brainy Baby - French
Movie Review: Excellent beginning primer for French
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this video to introduce my son to French. I am very pleased with all that it covers. It reviews the numbers 1-10, colors, common nouns, some parts of the body, Mommy, Daddy, common verbs, hello, goodbye, yes, no, and how to say please and I love you. It does some reviews with questions and answers for things like, "How many books are there? There is one book.", or "What color is the snowman? The snowman is white." (obviously in French). The words for all of these are displayed in French on the screen in large print and in English in small print. There is a lot of repetion to reinforce the lessons. They missed some obvious things, like how to say thanks you and some parts of the body (like arms), but I guess you can't get everything in. They also sing Mary had a Little Lamb in French(no words are shown onscreen while doing this, which would have been nice, but they are available in the music video segment). But, overall, a very good dvd and worth purchasing.The Brainy Baby Spanish DVD uses the same content, but in Spanish. I also recommend it.
Movie Review: Really Impressed
Summary: 5 Stars
My 19 month old son sits and watches the Brainy Baby French repeatedly and never seems to get bored with it. It has come to the point that when he is cranky, I put in the video to get him to settle down. I just bought the Spanish version and am waiting with baited breath for it to arrive. These DVD's focus on vocabulary building, not just exposure to sounds. Unlike the Einstein Language Nursary, the words are associated with what is happening on screen, there is ample repitition to enforce learning and the music and voice are soothing (not annoying). For those of us not conversant in the language there are discrete cues to word meanings, and I am even picking up some French.Movie Review: Excellent French exposure from a bi-lingual family
Summary: 5 Stars
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 ; )
Movie Review: If you are serious about learning - start here!
Summary: 5 Stars
This DVD has been indispensable to me. I have worked on the French language with my daughter and she has done beautifully with this DVD. I have also used this DVD with children who already spoke French. They all loved it. The vocabulary is directed at preschool age children. I suspect that the editors just know how to hold a child's attention, the happy children we see are just charming (and from many races too, which I LOVE!) and the music is fun too.Movie Review: Great for Toddlers
Summary: 5 Stars
I enrolled my twin toddlers in French classes this fall (2002) and purchased this video as added lessons at home. My little ones enjoy it so much that sometimes they watch it two to three times in a row. What is truly amazing is that now when they see the picture of an object in the video, they say the word in French before hearing it first!
