5.0 out of 5 stars My sons enjoy this video and they are learning a little Tamil!
My wife is a native Tamil speaker but I am not. My sons (ages 3 and 5) are always fascinated when my wife speaks Tamil on the phone. This video has allowed my sons and I to add several vocabulary words for numbers, colors, fruit and several other items around the house. The format borrows quite heavily from the Baby Einstein series with comparable production style so...

2.0 out of 5 stars Very average
Very average, obviously home-made video. My two year old daughter could only watch it a few times before getting bored.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun and Effective DVD, August 3, 2007
By 
This review is from: Exploring Tamil - Kids Learn Tamil (DVD)
I really liked the 'Exploring Tamil' DVD. It is smartly designed to teach small kids common Tamil words used in everyday situations. I especially liked the progression of the DVD - they start with simple concepts like words, colors, numbers and then put them together very effectively. All words were repeated multiple times for emphasis.

My 4 and 6 year old sons can understand Tamil but cannot speak it well. They really liked the DVD and continue to repeat words they heard on the DVD. The DVD has also inspired them towards speaking more Tamil - they now frequently ask me "What do you say for this in Tamil?".

Exploring Tamil - Kids Learn Tamil

This DVD is very poorly made. Its a ripoff for 14+ bucks. I have ordered a half a dozen DVD from india for [...] bucks each.

I will not recommend anyone to buy any of the series by this author.

5.0 out of 5 stars My kids have learned Tamil words from this DVD, January 28, 2009
This review is from: Exploring Tamil - Kids Learn Tamil (DVD)
Let's be realistic, this DVD is not going to teach kids full sentences or teach them to be fluent. And there's no DVD that is going to teach the many different dialects of Tamil.
Both of my children can watch this DVD over and over again and I haven't once heard them ask me to turn it off.
It's just too bad it's not the first in a series.

1.0 out of 5 stars A big disappointment, May 9, 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Exploring Tamil - Kids Learn Tamil (DVD)
This DVD is very disappointing. It is very sloppily slapped together, with the background music and tamil voice-over poorly mixed, so that you can't hear the words properly. From some comments that I read, some of the words aren't "proper" tamil, but I can't judge, since I don't speak tamil, and I'm not sure that this is so critical. From a purely pedagogical point of view, I don't see how this DVD can be used. It is well-intentioned, I'm sure, but really too unprofessional to be considered an "exploration" of the language. Pity.

1.0 out of 5 stars Kids learn tamil, July 7, 2007
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Exploring Tamil - Kids Learn Tamil (DVD)
We ordered this product with great enthusiasm however products did not fulfil our expectations. First of all many of the words used here are not even tamil words and not correct. These words are only used by Chennai Indians and not tamil words. This DVD will just confuse kids and parents.

Either Amazon or Baby Einstein should remove this product from sale. This is not a real Baby Einstein product.
