Movie Reviews of Números y Figuras - Numbers and Shapes
Movie Review: GREAT introduction to Spanish & counting
Summary: 5 Stars
My two kids really like this video, they love the puppets and animated parts, and they love to count along, as they already know some Spanish numbers. I love this DVD because it has many well-known Spanish songs that I sang when I was growing up. Plus the paper insert in the case has all the lyrics, making it fairly easy for my wife (a non Spanish speaker) to help children learn the songs, and even she is now singing along. As a Latino with a bilingual family, I think it is great that there are DVDs like this - with native accents and great music - that really work well in what we try to achieve with teaching language to our children.
