Movie Reviews of Brainy Baby - Spanish
Movie Review: Okay DVD but It's Best Your Children Watch NO TV
Summary: 5 Stars
Okay DVD. But it has been found that every hour of watching TV increases the chance of ADD by 10%. Children under 5 with growing brains should definitely not be watching any TV or computer screens at all.Movie Review: My children love this!
Summary: 5 Stars
I love the brainy baby and wished I had bought it a long time ago for my children!
I hope to purchase more of their products.

My infant loves watching this video. I have absolutely nothing negative to say about it. Definitely a wise investment.Movie Review: Some bad Spanish....but good video
Summary: 4 Stars
When I saw one of the very negative reviews, I thought this person was exaggerating given that I had bought the Brainy Baby for French DVD and thought it was really good (quality and all), but I needed to buy an educational DVD for my 18 mo. old daughter in Spanish since is too my very first mother tongue. I decided to buy this DVD, specially because there are not many out there of this kind. When I saw it, I thought it wasn't that bad. It does have accents where there should be, and question marks (Did this person referred to an old version?) However, they did use a couple of words that I would not use in spanish so it's useless to teach a toddler words she would not use, like the word for ball (pelota), they used "bola". I think pelota is more widely used, not just in Mexico. That is my only criticism; they should have used a term that is common for many countries, so I think they should have done a little more research and the narrator would be fine. Her pronunciation is fenomenal (regardless whether or not she is a native speaker, it doesn't matter!). The content of the video is great, just what a toddler needs to learn a language in a fun way. My daughter enjoyed this DVD from beginning to end. It's just good enough to entertain my daughter without mindless TV cartoons.Movie Review: One great aspect - NO translations! Decent dvd overall!
Summary: 4 Stars
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!
