DVD Reviews of Brainy Baby - French

DVD Review: AWESOME!!!
Summary: 5 Stars

I gave this to my best friends little boy who is 3. He takes French lessons at his school and loves it so I decided to get him this video. When he opened it, his mom put the video in for him to watch and he didn't move. He loved it so much. He was mesmorized from beginning to end.

DVD Review: It is OK but there is better out there
Summary: 2 Stars

Yes I do agree with other reviewers that this program has 2 major flows, for a good part of the words introduced there is now article (very important in French) and why didn't they pick a French narrator? (her French is pretty good and her foreign accent only shows in some words and sentences, still when you make a language video pleeaaase take a native with a standard accent). Same for the script, some awkwardness to it (for instance homme de neige instead of bonhomme de neige) shows that it was not made by a native. Another problem with this program is that they mostly introduce words, some times with articles and adjectives but not really sentences. I think it is very important for children to get the music of the language early and also to be able to recognize a word once it is in a sentence. For this reason I would really recommended the Little Pim 3 DVDs series over this one. In that program (which has the articles and is narrated by a French native) after being introduced alone with their articles, the words are used in simple every day sentences. When I see Little Pim French program I always think it is like someone was reading in my mind when I was thinking all the flaws of Brainy Baby and what should be done to improve it and made this perfect program that kids love.
So as a conclusion I would say when Little Pim was not here, parents who do not speak (well) French could certainly show it to there kids, but now I would say without hesitation get LITTLE PIM first:Little Pim: 3-Disc Gift Set (French)

DVD Review: Worst purchase ever
Summary: 1 Stars

I was very disappointed in this product. The whole quality of this DVD is very much bellow all its similar competitive DVDs.
The picture quality is bad. The whole layout for the scenes is very poorly done. As if someone had done the whole thing on a home video over night. The narrator's french has a very heavy accent (which I do not recognize the origin).
I do not recommend this product. I would however recommend the Baby Einsteins series. They have a multitude language selection and their french audio is good.

DVD Review: It is really good
Summary: 4 Stars

I really like it and my son found it very benificial
The only comments i have are:
1- It is the same DVD as the english one (it has the same content), i could have run it from the previous DVD, using the Frensh language.
2- I wish to be able to scroll through the DVD to see the content of each chapters
3- My Son loves the extras that are provided in the menu

DVD Review: A Very Helpful Tool
Summary: 4 Stars

My one year old daughter is currently learning French with a french teacher who comes to play for an hour a week. This DVD is proving to be very helpful in reinforcing the language during the rest of the week. Yes, it is true that the articles are not given with many of the words, but this should not be the only tool used for teaching your child another language. The images are beautiful and completely capture my daughter's attention. I am very happy with it!

Description of Brainy Baby - French

Contains over 50 words including colors, numbers, favorite objects, action words and familiar phrases Introduced by a native-language (French) Narrator Fun music and a nursery rhyme song in French Includes a Vocabulary Review section DVD includes special features such as: Baby Bloopers, Behind The Scenes, Video Sing-Along and an Interactive Activity. 45 minutes

Studies show that children exposed to a second language during the first few years of life can more easily master the sounds of that language. Based on the concept of total language immersion, Brainy Baby: French is a commendable tool for those seeking bilingual enrichment for their youngsters. French is the sole language spoken through 45 minutes of instruction and live-action footage covering familiar objects, colors, numbers, and phrases. Words are repeated for reinforcement (and written on the screen for early readers), while classical music by Mozart and Vivaldi plays in the background. "chapters" selected from the DVD main menu allow wee ones to watch in small, digestible segments. Extra features include a French music video sing-along, interactive storybook, and hilarious baby bloopers. Such excellent, original offerings set this program apart from other bilingual language videos. The instruction is solid, the picture quality superb, and the interspersed frivolity reminds us that captivating kids is the ultimate goal of education. (Ages 2 to 5) --Lynn Gibson
