Review(s): DVD Learn Spanish with Carlos & Chiquitita
Good Video with a few small flaws
Que dice el pato? From watching this just one time I learned how to ask my son what the animals say, and he knows what I am saying. The video is primitive yes, but as another reviewer said, the kids like it. The sound quality gets very loud during the songs and you have to keep turning it down, so it is a little pricey. However if it had perfect sound quality the price would be worth it. I think this is one video that we can watch over and over and over again and learn something/reinforced every time. The scenes are all relevant, bathing, playing with sister, animal identification, family, etc. I would recommend buying this, just dont overlook the sound and the animation. I didnt like it at first, but the more I watch it with my son, the more I see he is learning from it (and I am too), and that is what is important.
Very entertaining
This is a great introduction to spanish video. My kids are 3 y/o and 20 months and they both love it. The songs have a catchy tune that keeps them occupied. I took Spanish for 5 years and it is a good review for me as well. The only con I have is that the sound quality is inconsistent. Sometimes it projects really loud and other times you can barely hear it so I probably have a defective DVD that I just do not feel like bothering to send back and pay for shipping. Overall this is a great product and I would recommend it.
Great for Children
I teach Spanish and many of my parents want to start their kids before they enter elementary school. I have recommended this one to them and all seem pleased. Great for youngsters starting out.

Research 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... More Info about this DVD DVD Release Date: Released the 12 August 2002 Usually ships in 24 hours

This is a very good video on learning shapes for kids. My daughter is 14 months and even though she doesn't know any shapes, she enjoys this video from start to finish and asks to watch it every day. It has a lot of Spanish dialogue and music which makes it fun. I highly recommend it!

Fiesta means party in Spanish, and Sesame Street is pulsating with activity in this upbeat preschool program featuring Latino songs. Jim Henson's Muppets join the fun while everyone's favorite, Elmo, learns the Conga- Wiggle dance. Maria, Rosita, and Gabi create floats and costumes; even Oscar reluctantly partakes in the festivities. The dialogue is sparse in order to devote most of the 30-minute show to singing and dancing during eight Spanish/English tunes, featuring special performances by Linda Ronstadt and Celia Cruz. Most of the music will be familiar, such as "Conga Counting Song," "Amigo," and "It Sure Is Hot." Kids will also learn greetings, familiar words, and numbers in Spanish. While some might wish for the addition of live-action scenes of Mexico or a more... More Info about this DVD DVD Release Date: Released the 06 April 2004 Usually ships in 24 hours

I was very impressed with this DVD. It is obviously professionally done, with great lessons. My children work through the Flip Flop Spanish workbook that I authored, and they enjoy the drawing and exercises, and listening to the CD, so I didn't know if sitting and watching a DVD would be too helpful, but it goes great with the workbook, and adds to it with reinforcement (and someone other than Mom speaking Spanish is a big plus!)
Great addition to any Spanish curriculum up to age 6 or so, I'd say. More Info about this DVD DVD Release Date: Released the 01 July 2005 Usually ships in 24 hours
