Customer Rating: Summary: Not what I expected Comment: I bought this DVD because our child is raised in a bilingual home (English-French). The concept of a multilingual DVD is great but I did not expect the quality of the DVD to be that bad. The spelling of some words is wrong and the pronunciation too: it is not a native French speaker. I am looking forward to a DVD that would be multilingual but with higher standards. This is mediocre.
If your goal is to teach your child many languages, do not get this DVD. Customer Rating: Summary: Not as good as I hoped Comment: I got this video for our son who is 19 months and has not talked yet. He did not like the video and I thought it would be more then just them showing a picture of a train and the word and saying it once, and then showing a few different trains and then moving on to a new word. Our son loves the baby Einstein videos and we also got him the video called baby babble, which I found to be better, so you may want to check out that video. Customer Rating: Summary: Good but not great Comment: With all versions of the Bee Smart Volcabulary Builder, my 22 months absolutely loves these tapes. The music is relaxing and the pictures are interesting. However, he has yet to speak his first words and the tapes have not improved his speech delay. Customer Rating: Summary: Great video!! Comment: My son started watching this video at 18 months and has learned all of the words on it. It is the only thing he will sit down and watch. I think anyone who wants there childs vocabulary to grow will buy it. Customer Rating: Summary: Relatively Speaking, This Is No Einstein Comment: Admittedly, this video is in the upper tier of the Baby Einstein knockoffs. But there is a huge gap between the best of these imitations and the real deal (see my review of Baby Van Gogh). The videography in this one is better than most of the second-stringers, but the sound is primitive. More importantly, it interests our son only episodically, although more so than some of the worst (see Zen Baby, for example, Zen as in z-z-z-z-z). My own view is that the concept supposedly underlying this video gets parental fans hyper-ventilating ("I know, let's inject him with lots of Mozart and repetition of simple words and he'll be a freaking genius!"). But our son hears plenty of Mozart and simple words the natural way. Get this video if nobody around your house has time to actually tell your child what a "ball" or "cat" is and you never play the music of Mozart. You can get it all in one package right here. Relatively speaking, though, this is helium compared to the Einstein series's U235.
