Baby Einstein [DVD]

Good

I love the Baby Einstain series and the language Nursery is my favorite, as both my kids are bilingual and we started our bilingual adventure with this tape in 1999. I loved hearing the different languages and tried to guess wich language was wich of the seven spoken on the tape/DVD. Clolorful pictures were captivating for the children from 6 months on and the slowly switching images would be perfect for the developing baby. Nothing flashy or too noicy or harsh for a baby, but sweet, soft female voices, rhyming, counting and reciting numbers, alpahbet and nurcery rhymes from US and around the world! If you understand the consept that Baby Einstein and the Language Nurcery have, you will love this DVD! Best investment I EVER made for my babies education in the first year of their lives!

If you are going to get a Baby Einstein, I suggest this one. But, you can save your money by checking out Netflix, or other sources, for children's programs that feature a variety of languages.From what I understand, when small children hear foreign languages, their brain forms synapses. Those synapses allow the child to learn those foreign languages with more ease later in life.I recommend that those who are looking to invest in something like Baby Einstein, choose one at a time. Don't make the mistake I did by buying a bunch of them at once. Or, better yet, I recommend that you check out Netflix, or other sources, for children's programs. You might be surprised by what is out there and available to you already...with no further investment.

Got this for 6-month old so she could be exposed to hearing other languages. It's part of her night time routine now since it calms her down after her bath or just any time she's not happy. Our little girl just got really sick and was miserable, the only thing that calmed her and made her stop crying was this dvd. She loves the dolls, baby lamb and little girl at the end especially. She laughs when those images come on. I'm not a fan of letting our little girl watch television but I've been letting here watch this a little everyday since it makes her so happy.The voices are all very calming and I'm trying to find another dvd that is similar since the two other Baby Einstein dvds I have are a little too loud and "active".

I thought this video would speak slow and allow me to pick which language I wanted my son to learn. It’s advertised for babies, but I hate it. They speak WAY TOO FAST, in every language! You can’t bypass that! Babies don’t pay attention that much! Only the Bonus Features allows you to choose what language to hear and there are only five options in the Bonus Features! So disappointed! Save your money!

I'll be the first one to admit, that I thought I just flush money down the drain when I bought this video. At first I thought that this DVD would "teach" my girls a foreign language. Like saying the "ABC's" in English then French, then German, etc.It wasn't until I heard that kids need to HEAR other languages to hear the different sounds did this DVD make sense to me. Example: I think it is Japanese people that if they do not know English can not hear the difference in FA and LA. So the Christmas song with "Fa la la la la la la, it is all the same to them.My girls love it (9 months old), and it is my hope that this DVD will help them later in life be able to hear the different sounds.

Coming from a multi-lingual family, it was nice for my daughter to hear German and French from someone other than mummy. This video is not meant to teach other languages, (visualization of the lips is key in learning languages, whereas this video shows clips of toys) but I enjoy hearing other languages, just as I suspect my child does.

My child loves to watch this every morning! He said "Fridgerator" at 14 months and many other large words from the video!
