Movie Reviews of Brainy Baby - Spanish
Movie Review: We both like it
Summary: 4 Stars
I don't know Spanish so I can't comment on the correctness of the Spanish, but I did like how it uses a variety of clear images in different contexts for each word. The music is pleasant. The action is calm and slow, appropriate for a small child. I'm learning many Spanish words from this DVD and my toddler enjoys watching it. Complaints: When they are providing the Spanish word for "face", its unclear that that is what they are talking about. A simple circle around each face would have made that easier to understand. There was one other spot in which I haven't even figured out what they mean. For us adults watching it would be helpful if they always (instead of just sometimes) provides the English translation. That said, if their were a Brain Baby Spanish 2, I would buy it.
Movie Review: Muy Bueno
Summary: 4 Stars
I am a hispanic mother married to an american. I am the only source of Spanish in my household and it is very important to me that my baby learns Spanish. My 18 month old baby has been watching this DVD for about a month now. She sits and watches without interruption for most of the DVD. She really likes it and it's bearable for me to watch with her. Some of the words in the Maria tenia un Corderito song are not pronounced correctly. Also, they use the word Creyón (crayon) which does not appear in the dictionary of the Real Academia Española. My baby seems to like this DVD much better than Cantarima's Numeros y Figuras. This DVD's length is much better than Cantarima. I would recommend and give Brainy Baby - Spanish as a gift.Movie Review: Good quality, it's entertaining, some words are not good
Summary: 4 Stars
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.
Movie Review: Music too loud!
Summary: 4 Stars
Overall is a good teaching tool, if a bit boring. It took several tries to finally get my 2 year old son to look at it for more than 5 minutes. The slow pace seems geared for babies only, as the title suggest.
My biggest complaint, though, is that the music is far too loud. It almost drowns the woman's voice in some spots. It's very distracting!
And that's the other problem: the woman's voice. My son -and most kids- would repeat the words in Spanish more readily if they were spoken by children!
I still consider it a good buy, though. Useful to a degree, at least.
Movie Review: Pretty good video!
Summary: 4 Stars
I thought this video was pretty good -- a little dry. My kids like the Sesame Street Fiesta one better and also the Global Village Kids Sing and Learn CD -- which isn't a video but a CD with bilingual nursery rhymes. They dance to the music, they pick up Spanish words and phrases and I think it's better for them than staring at a tv screen all day. Still, this DVD is worth the money since there's not a whole lot else out there for parents who want to introduce their kids to Spanish and it did keep my two kids (4 & 6) attention!
