My 17-month old daughter loves this DVD set and will ask for the Panda almost daily. The videos of the children and parents doing everyday things like eating, drinking and playing immediately resonate with her.

I'll confess, I sometimes use it to teach her the English words rather than the Italian, but it's an enjoyable set.

We tried Muzzy (zero interest level) and so far, my son wants to watch the eating and drinking dvd with the panda over and over. I think he must be picking up on some Italian words b/c he remembers most words he hears. I need to reinforce it a bit myself by using the language if I want it to stick.

My daughter has been watching this video series a few times a week for several months now and she loves it! She asks for "Pim Mama, Pim!". While she still often chooses to say an English word instead of the corresponding Italian one, she understands what my husband is saying to her when he speaks Italian. When he asks her to do something for him (in Italian) like "go get the apple for Papa", etc. she responds appropriately, demonstrating her comprehension. I think that when she gets a bit older (she is 22 months now), she will speak more Italian.

My only complaint is that you cannot SEE a person speaking. It is just a voice over. This video is teaching her what the words sound like, but it is not showing her what a mouth looks like when making that sound. Also, it would be helpful to have many more voices so that she can hear what the words sound like when spoken by a man, a woman, a child, etc.
