None of the reviews mentioned the lack of animation -- I had assumed that this would be a nicely animated story of the little boy Billy and Boo, his dog. They use still pictures while the story is going on - very very very low tech and didn't really capture my 2.5 year's attention very well. I found the cost of this dvd to be too expensive for what you get. Though, the included booklet with the complete story line is very useful, I think it's far too expensive for what it is. I would wait for something better.

this is a creative dvd with cute songs and story line. As stated above Korean words are repeated which is helpful for kids learning, however,i would like to mention for those of you interested in buying this dvd, someone will be needed to interpret the story. I would think that amazon would carry Level 1 of Billy and Boo if they are offering Level 2, unfortunately this could not be found. ??????hmmmm

Both my kids (7 yrs old and 2 yrs old) were fascinated with the video. They loved the songs and monsters in the story. In fact, they replay the songs quite a bit. The video was challenging but not too difficult for my 7 year-old, who already understands and can speak some Korean. Glad to see that there is a new, innovative Korean language product available for kids.

This is a unique approach to teaching Korean. We like the fact that we did not have to force our 6 year old Korean American son to "study" his Korean. The story of Billy and Boo really captured his attention. He particularly enjoyed the scenes with the monsters. This video appears to have more educational value than other products we have seen from Korea. The lesson is well organized and viewers can pick up words and phrases because they are repeated often.

My family speaks Korean at home, but I've been having a hard time learning the language. My mom bought me this video and it has really helped. By watching it over and over I can now say basic phrases. The booklet is good because I can review the English and Korean for reference.
