5.0 out of 5 stars Great DVDs!, June 21, 2007

This review is from: Early Start Mandarin Chinese with Bao Bei the Panda Volume 1: Colors and Animals (DVD)

My 3 year old loves both dvds! She keeps asking for Bao Bei! I've heard her say things in Chinese around the house. I know she's definitely learning, and she's having fun while she's doing it. I don't expect her to be fluent in Chinese by watching a couple of dvds, but I think her pronunciation is quite good and this is a great introduction. Hope they come out with more.



I thought my 5 year old would be too old for this dvd, but she loved it! The colorful dvd really captures her attention. She seems to really enjoy watching the panda. There's the right amount of repetition of the words. Seems like she's picking up some words!

This review is from: Early Start Mandarin Chinese with Bao Bei the Panda Volume 1: Colors and Animals (DVD)

I bought this DVD thinking that my daughter (22 months) would love it, since she loves "Baby Learns Chinese" DVD. But I was disappointed. She is not interested in this DVD at all. I am also not happy that it has both English and Chinese. It would be more effective if it is ALL in Chinese. Children learn best if they are totally immersed in the language. I speak both English and Chinese, and the "Baby Learns Chinese" DVD definitely has better pronounced Chinese. Baby Learns Chinese 1

This review is from: Early Start Mandarin Chinese with Bao Bei the Panda Volume 1: Colors and Animals (DVD)

I wish these videos were sold as a set. Our family loves watching all of the Bao Bei DVDs. We're all picking up a lot of Chinese. Our kids don't even realize that they're watching something educational. They just want to watch Bao Bei over and over again. They laugh a lot while watching and repeat the Chinese words and phrases. We really like the glossaries at the end of the 3rd and 4th videos. The moving mouth has helped my wife and me a lot with pronuncation.
