These DVD's are well made, and appeal to my baby son, and his young cousins. The images are easy for children to relate to, and the continual use of "nursery rhyme" music holds their attention. I also find these easy to watch and I am learning along with him. The themes are basic; colours, numbers, animals etc, and they overlap throughout the CD's, which helps with familiarization. The flash cards are also a good aid, which helps with the correct pronunciation. If there were more DVD's in the set I would certainly purchase them.

This dvd set can be a good start-up to learn Chinese.

But the dvds don't have any stories, they are just a series of words and images. The whole set is for teaching 100 words, which are not close to learning a language!

After one viewing, it is already very boring for my 2 year old son.

I think $40 ($10 for each DVD and the flash cards) should be more than enough price for this set.

I have seen the "baby you can read English version" and this is a very good one for baby to learn chinese. I am native Chinese and live in US now. Love the pronunciation, love the songs and love the word choices. My baby loves watching it.just wish the flashcards have pictures on it.

It's a good product for a toddler or child to learn Mandarin. It's a good tool for adults who are learning Mandarin/Putongqua, too. It's a very simple visual and repeat program to acquire the language; therefore, it's very basic. The way it should be for babies, toddlers and children learning a new language, since we mainly speak English. My child and I enjoy it a lot. It has the similar format like Baby Can Read program for learning English. Price is just slightly higher than another website, which sells Chinese language programs and books, too.

I love this set of DVDs! I started showing to my son when he was only 6 months, and he's now 2.5 and STILL loves this set. I think his favorite is the incorporation of chinese nursery rhymes between segments and seeing other asian children on the screen singing and dancing. he definitely learned from this set. And I did too! Highly recommend to Chinese-American households!

My seven year old loves the program. While its designed inherently for little kids, I use the flash cards with my daughter and she also watches the videos. She is excited to learn the language and she would repeat each word. I'm excited for her as it will give her a leg up from other kids as she advances.

I really like "baby learns chinese"and my baby is very interested..one advice-You can stream it for free on YOUTUBE!!!I wanted to buy DVD's or rent them at the public library since it easier to play them on tv but they are too expensive, free ...well it's free..:)

I heard and i think it is good for young children to listen to a variety of sound to practice their listening and pronounciation skills. So I bought this chinese lesson to give them a chance to understand a bit of chinese one day. It is wonderfull because my niece (2,5) and my nethew (16 months) watch it as a cartoon and love the songs. They repeat what the little chinese children on the video say. Pictures and cartoons are great and perfectly adapted. It is fun an educational. I am really happy of my choice.

So my 1 year old daughter kind of likes these DVD. My husband's family is Chinese and they speak fluent Mandarin and Cantonese. My husband only knows how to speak Cantonese but even his cantonese is not very good. So we ordered these DVDs to aid us in teaching our daughter some basic Mandarin. While at first my daughter is interested, she soon become disinterested after about 10 minutes. I love the songs that sung in Mandarin occasionally throughout the video because it is the only thing that draws my daughter back in. I will say that I like the DVDs, and have learned from them!! It's a great purchase and I think it's worth giving it a try. The material is very organized so you aren't jumping around from body parts to vegetables. They group like things together then teach them too the baby through repetition and pictures. Give it a try, I am sure you will learn something.

I used them with my two year old but they don't keep her attention. She knows that it's "chinese" and has learned a handful of words, but doesn't have much interest in watching the discs. She asks me to switch it out to something else. Maybe for the next child I'll start younger.
