Research shows that during the early years, a child's brain is wired to absorb the syntax, sentence structure, and dialect of a second language. Based on the concept of total language immersion, Brainy Baby: Spanish is a commendable tool for those seeking bilingual enrichment for their youngsters. Only Spanish is spoken through 45 minutes of instruction and live-action footage that covers familiar objects, colors, numbers, and phrases. While there are several bilingual videos on the market by notable companies, this one stands out for its superb sound and picture quality, lively footage, and extra DVD features such as a Spanish nursery rhyme, interactive story, and (when kids need a break from language lessons) entertaining bloopers. While not meant to be a child's sole source of bilingual instruction, it's a worthy tool, especially if adults can reinforce the lessons throughout the child's day. 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

Pretty good video! Rating
May 17, 2004 Rating: 4.0 stars

I thought this video was pretty good -- a little dry. My kids like the Sesame Street Fiesta one better and also the Global Village Kids Sing and Learn CD -- which isn't a video but a CD with bilingual nursery rhymes. They dance to the music, they pick up Spanish words and phrases and I think it's better for them than staring at a tv screen all day. Still, this DVD is worth the money since there's not a whole lot else out there for parents who want to introduce their kids to Spanish and it did keep my two kids (4 & 6) attention!

Brainy Baby - Spanish - Not For Musicians Rating
May 4, 2004 Rating: 2.0 stars

Unless you're tone deaf, you'll want to avoid this one. The string quartet that plays on the soundtrack is so out of tune that I could not even tolerate one complete playing of the video. Aside from that I guess it's fine, thus the 2 stars. We also bought Brainy Baby - Right Brain, which is much better. I'd give it 3 or 4 stars. Our favorite learning video thus far is Baby Van Gogh by baby einstein. Baby Shakespeare is 2nd.

All I can say is what a GREAT introduction to the Spanish langauge! My kids loved it so much that I think we're going to try French next!! The voice is warm and very pleasant to listen to and our kids have watched it so many times that they talk right along with her. I am discovering that you can't go wrong with any Brainy Baby product!

Very Happy Rating

Was very impressed with the video. I have an 18 month old who loves it. The only negative is that the Spanish is more Castilian. Living in the Southwest, I want more "latin american" Spanish. This is still a great Spanish video. If you're interested in this raising a bilingual child, "Babies Speaking Spanish" is an excellent video. My 18 month old sits through the entire video!

GREAT VIDEO - BUY IT! Rating
September 16, 2003 Rating: 5.0 stars

This is definitely a very entertaining DVD filled with a variety of tools to teach young children Spanish. I have been playing this DVD since my baby was about 6 months old and she loves it!! It is the ONLY video (DVD) she will actually sit and pay attention to for a long time. Now that she has just turned one, there are many words that she says and recognizes from the video. As a Spanish speaker myself, I highly recommend it, although there are some words that could use different translations (but that depends where you are from.) Nonetheless, the video is entertaining, useful, full of color and cute babies, which your baby will love! It may become quite annoying to you after watching it so much but your child will love it. It's a great video...buy it!
