My babysitter(from Costa Rica) has watched this with our kids, and tells me the narrator's accent is dead-on correct! The kids love to watch it, and then test their new words out on her - so now I've been watching it, so I'm not left out! It is VERY easy to learn, and the music, video, and on-screen graphics are very high quality. I recommend this tape to anyone who wants to introduce Spanish to their child.

I really appreciate the fact that this video is so well thought-out. I'm learning as much as my 2 year-old is. He's learning some Spanish in daycare, and I'm amazed to hear him repeat words and phrases he learns from this video, as well! He loves every video he has from this company, and I'm glad to say this series is just as good as all the others we've bought from them. I recommend it to all my friends!

This is my 3 year old son's favorite video. He requests "spanish" before Thomas the Tank engine. Today he asked me for a manzana (apple) for lunch! (which prompted me to write this review)

The video covers numbers 1-10, colors, and some basic nouns and verbs. Basic sentences using the vocabulary words are also presented. The video is set to instrumental music, mostly classical. The video uses real children and objects as opposed to cartoons. This aspect particularly engages my child.

Though this certainly won't make your child bilingual, it is a great introduction to another language. I wish the producers would do an additional spanish volume!

Our 20 month old twins adore this video. They clamor to watch it over and over. They have definitely learned some Spanish words from watching it. They also just enjoy seeing the children and animals in the scenes. The background music is great and makes it bearable for my husband and I to hear it over and over and over. . .

My daughter Teresa is 9 months old. These videos really help in the first stages of language acquisition in a bilingual home. We thank Small Fry for it, but wish that it was a little more playful, but all in all it is a great tape for spanish speaking infants. If it was a little bit more mature, I would use it in my pre-k classes, but they would think that its too baby. Using the listmanias offered from other moms, we bought a other videos, too. We thought that Brainy Baby was too much like an english version of Bilingual Baby, but Teresa likes it too. Her real favorite right now was the recommended Baby Know-It-All series from one of the Listmanias. They are very simple, but have much more spunk to them. We have two of their tapes, and Teresa likes them the best, and they are also effective with my pre-k class, especially the 2 year olds.

We are and English-speaking household but I try to provide a lot of Spanish exposure for my kids to start them learning. This one hasn't been quite as popular with my kids as some others (Baby Einstein, Mozart Numbers & Shapes), but I like it a lot and think it will grow on them as they learn more Spanish. The thing I like about this one is that it introduces sentences and not just individual words. It speaks the Spanish word with a real-life picture to teach the work, and repeats with several different images. It then puts words together and says the whole Spanish. For example, it will go over "dog" and "play" and "ball", and then do "the dog plays with the ball". The images are attractive and catch kids' interest, the Spanish words and spoken by a soothing female voice, and the background music is pleasant. In short, painless Spanish education appropriate for young and very young children.

Trying to find quality CD's & Videos to teach my 2-year-old has been challenging. I highly recommend this one. It's very engaging for him and easy to follow. After only a few sittings, he's actively participating & repeating the spanish. I'm impressed.

We purchased this video based on other Amazon evaluations. We are so happy we purchased this video. We wish it was on DVD, but it's not available that way. Even still, it's no big deal to fast forward past the very brief intro (no commercials for other videos, YEA).

We got this for my son when he was 8 mo. old (now 18 mo). He loves Bilingual Baby - Spanish even over the Einstein Videos - of which we have like 10! He happily watches it without getting distracted.

Additionally, I think this video quickened his learning of the concepts of yes and no.

It's so easy to watch. My husband and I have learned - especially the pronounciation. The video focus is on phrazes and words babies and toddlers use most, making it practical too!

As a Mom (and the primary cargiver) I find none of it offencive. Which is saying a lot for this neurotic Mom!

I purchased baby bilingual French and Spanish about a month ago. The Baby Bilingual series is a great idea, but don't expect baby to be engrossed in the images on the screen as he or she might be with other baby videos.

The music in the background is nice, classical music. The visual component is nice, as well, and shows real life people and toys. My one year old enjoys watching the videos, but they don't hold her attention as well as other classical music based baby videos have done. I would have liked to see more movement and variety on the screen to hold my babie's attention better.

The videos don't hold my attention too well either, as both the French and Spanish versions are very similiar (actually, almost identical) as they show almost identical visuals and teach baby exactly the same words. Again, more variety would have been nice.

This is a great video. Just when you think they are not learning the second language they surprise you. This video taught him hot to say simple words, phrases, colors. This video offers a little bit of everything. They only speak in Spanish and offer the English version of the word at the bottom of screen. Some folks prefer that they only hear it in Spanish. I prefer saying it in English as well. In our home when I speak to son in Spanish I always repeat in English or vice versa. I think either way works it all a preference as to which route you wish to go. I thought it was a great addition to his Mozart Spanish videos. Hubby and I got a kick hearing him ask for an apple in Spanish. Just when you think your child isn't picking the second language they surprise you or should I say Shock You!! Son is now 3 and is doing very well with his Spanish. You will not be disappointed. I have since added to his collection and have written a review and his newest Spanish tapes. Hope this review helps if you thinking about introducing a Spanish to your child. You will not be disappointed!!
