Review

In this entertaining introduction to the Spanish language, basic vocabulary is presented in an easy-to-follow format. Areas explored include colors, numbers, action words, body parts, and the alphabet all reinforced with fun and lively songs. Children of all ages are shown playing and engaging in other activities that demonstrate words like stand, sit, and walk. Vocabulary words are spoken in Spanish and then in English. Spanish words are shown onscreen, followed by the English translation. The intent of the program is to expose children to the language so that they can learn how to converse in Spanish, not just memorize the vocabulary. The live-action format and catchy tunes enhance this informative production. This title will help youngsters build a solid foundation for developing fluency in Spanish, and also could be used as a review of vocabulary for older children. Denise A.

1.0 out of 5 stars Very disappointing, June 7, 2007

This review is from: Mom, Dad & ME Aprendemos Espanol (DVD)

I am fluent in Spanish and my son was watching this video and I was shocked that this video was rated so well. It's probably rated well because the people rating it do not speak Spanish. First of all, they let "students" pronounce a whole bunch of words. I have a problem with this, because they are pronouncing them incorrectly. Young kids are perfectly capable of trilling an R, and yet they had the students NOT trilling the R's. I don't even like the way the "teacher" pronounces some of her words. Next, I have no idea where the woman who created this video is from, but I was shocked. She used several latin american folk songs in the video and she changed a bunch of the words to the songs. The changes SOUND like what the correct version of the song is, but aren't. For example in the song Tres Elephantes, it is supposed to be three elephants balance on the tail of a monkey but they changed it to three elephants are jumping (up and down). It's bizarre. They did the same thing with itsy bitsy spider. Like someone translated it from English literally, which isn't how the Spanish version is sung. They did this with all the songs. There were several words they used that I did not think were correct either. All in all, a VERY disappointing video. I don't want my son learning things incorrectly so he won't be watching it again. What a waste of $$$$.

This review is from: Mom, Dad & ME Aprendemos Espanol (DVD)

This DVD has been a great introduction to Spanish for both me and my children! We enjoy watching it together, and I like the tips for parents that give ideas for reinforcing the things we have learned. Afterall, as the video points out, "parents are the most important part of learning." We started watching it when my children were 2 and 5. It's engaging for both of them, and I love that the written words appear on the screen along with the spoken words and songs.

This review is from: Mom, Dad & ME Aprendemos Espanol (DVD)

"Mom,Dad & ME Aprendemos Espanol" is a fun and effective way to teach Spanish to children. The content is appropriate for those beginning to learn the language and those already exposed to Spanish. The format encorporates effective use of music, repetition, practical themes and color to hold the audience's attention. The DVD teaches both vocabulary and grammar in simple ways through conversation and play scenes. The producers are definately in tune with what works. You and your children are guaranteed to love it.
