This DVD is excellent. It teaches very important lessons to kids of all ages. The kids are going to learn through catchy songs that you will be singing in no time and with visiual aids. As a Hispanic father with a kid growing with both the American and Hispanic culture this is your best buy. The DVD is all in Spanish. It gets 4 and 3/4 of star from me just because it doesnt have the number or letter of day.

We're a Hispanic family doing our best to raise our 1 year old son bi-lingual. To help us do this, I've researched and purchased several different Spanish children's DVD's such as some of the A La Vibora De La Mar and from the Osmosis line. This one ranks #1 out of all for me and our son. He adores it. Great translations. Great lessons for his age. Very entertaining and educational. Absolutely perfect. My only complaint is that they don't have more like it for his age. I also purchased the Bienvenidos Primavera, but I don't think he's quite ready for it. It's probably for a slightly older child. - So if your torn about which Spanish videos to get, go with this one first. I should have known that you can't really go wrong with Sesame Street.

English-speaking parents note: Plaza Sesamo not designed to teach Spanish. Like English Sesame Street, it engages and entertains kids who already speak Spanish. (Grover is HILARIOUS in any language.) This DVD focuses on body parts. Good for vocabulary reinforcement. The videos of actual kids show a diversity of Latino images. My boys shout each others' names when they see a child that looks like their brother. (One has blonde hair, blue eyes, pale skin. The other has brown hair, eyes and skin.) The live-action studio segments have very scripted, somewhat unnatural child actors - my kids don't seem to relate to them. The animated segments like the Spider Picasso and Teeth Brushing Orchestra are really fun for our toddlers. Gracias Plaza Sesamo

For an adult studying Spanish at a beginner's level, I loved this video. So much that I ordered 3 more Plaza Sesamos.

First, these shows are not intended to teach Spanish to anyone. Just like Sesame Street, they're intended to teach children. For this video, they concentrate of teaching the different parts of the bodies.

But because they're intended for children they don't speak too quickly or use extremely difficult words.

I found this video very enjoyable and educational.

My toddler loves this DVD! As a warning, this is not a DVD that teaches Spanish. For that, try their "Fiesta" DVD. This is geared towards toddlers who already understand Spanish. I love the positive self-esteem theme of this entire DVD. As with a lot of Sesame Street products, we see kids of all different shapes, colors, and abilities and they all sing all to "me gusta ser yo!" (I love to be me!). I love hearing my toddler say this at such a young age.

It's Sesame Street. What can I say. I like it. My baby likes it. Most importantly, the Spanish they use is good Spanish and that's what I want my daughter to learn, so I'm a satisfied customer.
Good message, good singing, good dancing and a nice, diverse group of people shown.

A mis hijos les encanta... lo pueden ver una y otra vez y no se cansan. Muy buena opcion para niños pequeños...

We have a series of Plaza Sesamo episodes, many of which I downloaded from itunes and are more recent. However, we keep going back to this one. My son LOVES it. The main song is a classic and we find ourselves (parents, grand parents, nanny) signing the " Me Gusta Ser Yo" song. It's one of the most educational shows, teaches about the parts of your body and more importantly, it's all about how happy you are with your self and your looks. Es para familias bilingues o Hispanas que les encanta celebrar su forma de ser!
Me fascina!

My husband and in-laws are Spanish speaking, so this is a great way for my daughter to learn and keep up on her Spanish. She absolutely loves these DVD's, and can't seem to look away from the TV Screen once I turn them on.

A fun DVD for a review of basic body parts - I used it in PreK - 3rd grade intro Spanish classes - broke it down to 15-20 minute showings - some skits were a hit, some were not - it did keep the students' attention - even though they did not understand all of the espanol.
