Movie Reviews of Brainy Baby - Spanish
Movie Review: I can't believe I'm writing this...but it works.
Summary: 5 Stars
First a little background. I'm a cuban-american. Born in the US...parents from Cuba. I learned Spanish as my primary language but, as I grew up, English took over. Now when I speak spanish, I sound gringo as hell...but I can hold my own. I may sound (and screw up) but I can carry conversation...even with the picky Spaniards.
I married a Trini that speaks barebones school-taught spanish. Luckily she's very supportive of spanish as a 2nd language so I speak to my son in pure spanish all day...everyone else (her and 2 brothers) speaks to him in pure english all night.
I never give in. I always keep up the spanish. The results...he's learning. He knows what I'm saying and, although he may talk back in english at times, he understands. So if you know a bit of spanish...don't stop...they're listening and picking it up.
Now..onto the DVD. I'm reading these reviews about "proper spanish" and this crap makes me sick. Listen...just get the friggin' DVD. Who cares if he says "creyones" (I grew up on this word and it's perfectly fine). Who cares about the 2 or 3 odd words that don't get spoken in Spain. Let's get real...they're in the minority of latin america. I'm talking *minority*. Bottom line...I just want my kid to learn. If he says "bola" so what? Also, the speaker *is* spanish.
Onto the story...My son is now 2.5 years old. He's been going to sleep with this video since he was 18 months. The soothing music and voice is perfect for nighttime. Plus, I want him to hear the spanish dialect as well.
The results:
My son knows every friggin' word in the video. He can count from 1-10. He knows how to say every, single word. Seriously. And for those of you thinking "it only works when he's watching the DVD"....guess what? I walk with him to the mailbox and he counts the numbers on the boxes...in Spanish! He even knows words I don't speak in the daytime. I didn't understand where he got them, until I saw them in the video near the end.
Bottom line...this video is perfect for introducing and teaching Spanish. As adults we may find it boring...but for my Noggin spoiled kiddo...he digs it.
A huge 5 stars from my end.
Summary of Brainy Baby - Spanish
Contains over 50 words including colors, numbers, favorite objects, action words and familiar phrases Introduced by a native-language (Spanish) Narrator Fun music and a nursery rhyme song in Spanish Includes a Vocabulary Review section DVD includes special features such as: Baby Bloopers, Behind The Scenes, Video Sing-Along and an Interactive Activity. 45 minutesResearch 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
