5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing, September 22, 2008

This review is from: Little Pim: 3-Pak Spanish for kids (DVD)

My son showed interest in Spanish while watching Dora so I bought this video to take him one step further when he was almost 3. I was amazed to see that not only he sat there watching with interest but he also repeated words and small dialogues in Spanish. He would never talk Spanish with us (we don't really speak anyways) but when we met a couple of Mexican friends this summer he could exchange greeting with them and answer simple questions such as what color is your shirt or what do you want to eat. They were amazed at his accent and said he did not sound American at all (however it did not work on me who is trying to learn with him, I'm probably too old to get the native's accent).
On a technical point of view, the program is very well done, A succession of short sequences keep the interest and attention of the young viewer alive. A little gap after each word or sentence enable the child to repeat or internalize the vocabulary. The same words are presented in different scenes. I guess I don't really need to develop on this with all the awards it received.
In short I really recommend it and I'm delighted that I have discovered it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Holds my 2 year olds interest, February 22, 2008

My 2 year old son loves to watch this series. We've had it for a month now and he still asks for it daily. He's said one word in Spanish so far, but I think is really taking it in. Although I speak Spanish almost fluently, I didn't know where to begin with teaching my son so I think this is a good beginning. It's far better than some other programs I've seen which are either boring or just a word here or there so they don't learn much. I'd like to try the other languages too.

4.0 out of 5 stars Another Way to Say "MILK"!, May 15, 2009

This review is from: Little Pim: 3-Pak Spanish for kids (DVD)

I recently heard my three-year-old daughter telling my younger daughter, "I know another way to say 'milk'. You say 'leche'." That was after watching the first DVD about four or five times. My children just love Little Pim! They seem to learn from him so quickly. He is cute, funny, and informative; he does a great job keeping them riveted. I like that he is the only one that talks because then the accent and pronounciation are uniform for the child to copy. The immersion idea is great, though I've been very thankful for the English subtitles when watching them for the first time. My only complaints are that on one occasion, Little Pim acts like a dog in a crude effort to be funny, and that sometimes the mothers' necklines are a bit too low for viewing-comfort, but I would highly recommend these videos as the best thing I've seen for children learning Spanish. I wish they would make a follow-up set for the next age-group. This set of videos was well-worth my money.
