DVD Reviews of Baby Einstein - Language Nursery
DVD Review: What were they thinking???
Summary: 1 Stars
Baby Einstein Language Nursery has got to be the worst Baby Einstein video yet, in my humble opinion. When I first read the title "Language Nursery" I thought they would show things and then name the things in English....kind of like an English vocabulary builder. Boy, was I way off.
I popped in the dvd and began watching. It started speaking a different language. It sounded like German. So, I stopped it and went to the Main Menu to try to change it so it would be in English. I tried it and again it was speaking in German. I spent 5 minutes trying to change the language to English and then found out that the joke was on me, LOL, because the settings weren't wrong afterall. It's supposed to start speaking in German. It will show shapes, toys, patterns, etc and the voices are speaking in different languages. The languages spoken are German, French, Hebrew, Japanese, Russian, Spanish and English. 12 minutes into the dvd they speak English for about 10 seconds.
In English they count while showing the face of a clock. Clock hands are going around the clock. Common sense would tell you to count the same numbers that the hand is pointing to. But, no. When they count 1 the hand in on the 7. So, all the numbers that are counted and the numbers the hands point to don't match at all. When they speak Spanish, they say the alphabet in Spanish. You would think that they would show the letters of the alphabet. No. They show spinning toys. So, how is a child supposed to know that they are even saying the alphabet in Spanish? They go on and on with a story about a mouse and a cat (I can't remember what langauge this was....Spanish maybe?). The entire time the story is being told they show a spinning pinwheel. How is a child supposed to know that they are talking about a cat and a mouse?
This says it is for babies 1 - 18 months old. Come on! This is the most ridiculous thing I have ever seen and heard. If you want to expose your child to languages I really don't think this is the way to do it. They will never know what in the world is being spoken. I would think you should pick a video that has all of one foreign language on it, not seven. My 12 year old came into the room while I was watching this. She watched it a few minutes and said, "How do you even know what they are saying?" I said, "You don't".
This is just very odd and I would think it could be very confusing for a baby. There is absolutely no translation. So, even as an adult watching this you have no clue what they are saying in Japanese, Hebrew, etc. You don't know if they are counting, saying the alphabet, or what in the world they are saying. How this is supposed to be a good thing to watch I just have no idea.
One recent reviewer said that from watching this dvd her "son is now fluent in Japanese, Russian, Hebrew, French, and Portuguese". I question whether her son is actually "fluent" in these languages or has he just memorized what is being spoken. That isn't a bad thing, but it really isn't being fluent if you don't have any idea what the translation is (in other words, if you don't even know what you are saying). And an fyi, I don't believe that Portuguese is one of the languages taught. I really wouldn't have given this any star but Amazon won't allow that. Please read my other reviews.
