This is an excellent DVD. We are trying to learn Spanish since moving from
Missouri to Miami Florida. My three children ages 9, 8, 7 are having an easy
time learning Spanish because of this DVD. Easy to understand, fun, and
subtitles really help. Highly recommended. Also recommended: "My First Spanish
Word Book". This book has GREAT pictures of everyday items each one labeled in
English and Spanish. A MUST HAVE for any children learning spanish, or learning
Spanish to English.

My 5 year old son loves this DVD! They do have many words in spanish and english
on the screen as they say the words, which is very helpful since my son knows
how to read. Even if you child doesn't read yet, he will learn how by just
watching the DVD many times. I tend to agree with some of the reviews that maybe
they should put the words to the songs in spanish as well as english because
it's hard to understand sometimes. But for the most part, it's a great learning
tool and my son loves it!

This is great for kids who can read. However, my 4 year olds can not read yet.
It keeps their attention for a little while but not through the whole video. It
is easy to understand what is being said in Spanish. However, there are English
subtitles rather than English being spoken. The characters act out what is being
said, but order for my children to understand exactly what the Spanish words
mean I have to sit with them every minute that the video is on and constantly
read the subtitles. With the Professor Parrot video the English and Spanish
words are spoken so that my kids can understand it better. I would rate it
higher if my kids were old enough to read the subtitles.

We own this DVD and Professor Parrot Speaks Spanish.
Here's the bad: I prefer Professor Parrot by far. This DVD is much cheesier. The
guy who is the tree is annoying and does not know how to act. I agree with the
other post that says the sound is of poor quality. I couldn't understand the
words of the songs, so I had to pull out the booklet to read them. My son can't
read yet, so he doesn't have the added benefit of reading the words.
Professor Parrot is much more stylistically interesting. The acting isn't so
cheesy. And I love the warmth of the lady who tells the story of the Three Bears
to the children. I would give this DVD a definite 5 stars.
Now for the good: My son does enjoy this Spanish for Kids DVD. He says he
doesn't like the tree guy either, but he loves the dog. He thinks the dog is
funny and he likes the balloons too. He was catching on to the colors because
it's repetitive. He enjoyed the "test" questions at the end. He says he likes
this DVD as much as Professor Parrot. So I guess from a kids point of view,
cheesy and sound problems aren't a big deal if it's fun.

I started summer school to learn Spanish and I've been feeling behind compared
to the other kids even in a beginner class. We purchased Spanish for Kids and it
has been a huge help. I learned basic phrases for meeting and greeting, as well
as primary colors and couting to 10 in no time. The best part is I find it cute
and funny. It's much more interesting to learn this way than using work books.
I'm feeling much more confident in my class and actually feel ahead of the curve
now.

Uses a birthday party event to teach some basic words and phrases. The context
is easy to understand. The simple songs help reinforce the learning. My 2 year
old watches this and we will probably both learn some Spanish from it. I like
that I have the option to just play the video and skip the exercises because my
child isn't old enough for the exercises. My complaints are 1) sometimes the
accompanying instrumental music is so loud that its hard to hear the words
clearly. 2) It would help if they would put the Spanish text up on the screen
(as well as the English, maybe English in smaller text). That would help when
its hard to hear the pronunciation clearly. 3) The acting is awkward. I'm not
sorry I bought it and will probably buy more in the series, but I do wish that
the creators of these things would look at the product a little more closely
before production because it wouldn't have been much more work to make it much
much better.

I was very impressed with this DVD. It is obviously professionally done, with
great lessons. My children work through the Flip Flop Spanish workbook that I
authored, and they enjoy the drawing and exercises, and listening to the CD, so
I didn't know if sitting and watching a DVD would be too helpful, but it goes
great with the workbook, and adds to it with reinforcement (and someone other
than Mom speaking Spanish is a big plus!)
Great addition to any Spanish curriculum up to age 6 or so, I'd say.

My 2 1/2 years old loves it - I think a little more than Professor parrot speaks
Spanish. [I must also mention that she has several Spanish language tools like
books, classroom style charts with English and Spanish numbers, colors, and
shapes and and other DVD/CDs] We call the time we spend viewing this DVD our
"Spanish Lesson" and I notice that when many of the words appear on the screen
in Spanish she will shout it out before the narrator says it. I think that it is
a good complement to the other tools that we use and I look forward to the other
volumns.

There's a lot packed into this DVD. The DVD is split into 5 chapters with a
specific learning theme. After each scene, the characters review what was taught
and then follow up with a song or a DVD game. My kids enjoyed the games, the
music and the kooky animated Chihuahua that jumps in with the human characters.
In the past, I had a difficult time getting them to study Spanish with books and
CDs but this DVD really had them interested in learning more.
