Not easy to follow or particularly entertaining for my 3yo who doesn't have prior exposure to Mandarin Chinese. After buying this DVD, we tried another - Learning Chinese & English Together - which we found taught similar concepts in a clearer and more enjoyable format for young kids who were absolute beginners.

We speak Cantonese at home but Mandarin is really more useful for the future so I am starting my children on learning Mandarin (as well as learning it myself). The whole family watches this DVD and we all enjoy it. The words and phrases taught are basic but useful - hello, introducing yourself to others, thanks, relatives, colors, numbers, and objects. The actors speak slowly enough so we can follow but with a natural rhythm. The songs and animation make the lessons more interesting for the children. I definitely recommend for both children and adults who are learning Mandarin.

I found this video very helpful as a complete beginner to Mandarin Chinese. I was looking for something the whole family could watch and learn from. We were pleasantly surprised that it was entertaining and emphasized those beginning phrases we were looking for. I like how each chapter focuses on a beginning topic such as basic greetings, family members and so on. We've had a good time practicing amongst ourselves. This is a great video, we plan to get the next volume.
