Brainy Baby Spanish DVD: Simple Words and Phrases Classic Edition

I bought this DVD as an introductory lesson in Spanish for my 18 month old daughter. I was worried about whether or not this would hold her attention long enough for her to actually learn something. All I can say is, "Thank You so much" to the makers of this DVD!! Not only does this DVD hold her attention but she begs me everyday, by pointing to her nose and then the t.v for me to put it on for her. Nariz (which is nose in spanish) was the first word I tested her on a week into this and realized she was remembering what she was seeing and learning. My daughter is not talking a whole lot yet but, whatever I ask her to point at in Spanish she knows exactly what I'm referring to. I wish brainy baby would make this in higher levels for as the child grows. Great DVD, I would recommend buying this.

This rating might seem harsh, but I am truly baffled. This is one of the worst dvds we have bought. We buy a variety of toddler spanish dvds for our kids and this was extremely boring and they didn't add any of the accompanying definite articles, so if you do memorize all these basic vocab words, you're going to look ridiculous calling masculine words feminine and visa versa. And the time running includes an extremely long intro. It's sort of going for whole the Baby Mozart thing, which I think the general consensus is these days that it is not as effective as we once thought.

My two year old did not find this video entertaining at all. With other videos such as baby einstein or blues clues he pays attention to what is going on, talks to the television, and so on. This video wasn't able to hold his attention for 2 minutes. The video has a lot of potential. I liked the way they did the counting and how they have only speak in spanish but the english words are in the corner for the parents. The best part of the DVD was the music video for Mary Had a Little Lamb; but they only had that one song. Maybe if they had incorporated more of this technique the video would have been more interesting.

I gave it a 4 star rating because its ok we liked it. Its not great but its ok. For a child or baby learning the language, it offers the basics, colors, fruit, hello, goodbye... My daughter liked the spanish version of mary had a little lamb the best as well as watching the children play. Just another video to help your baby develop. I used to reinforce it by showing her different stuff that was the same color as what they showed like green leaves or purple toy so she heard the word not only on the video but used in the house.

Overall is a good teaching tool, if a bit boring. It took several tries to finally get my 2 year old son to look at it for more than 5 minutes. The slow pace seems geared for babies only, as the title suggest.My biggest complaint, though, is that the music is far too loud. It almost drowns the woman's voice in some spots. It's very distracting!And that's the other problem: the woman's voice. My son -and most kids- would repeat the words in Spanish more readily if they were spoken by children!I still consider it a good buy, though. Useful to a degree, at least.

GREAT video for teaching your child the most common Spanish words. My daughter also loves "Brainy Baby - English". My only wish is that the company would have one video with the option of choosing which language you want to hear it in just as the Baby Einstein series does. Both Brainy Baby videos (English and Spanish) show the exact same footage but just with a different language. The company is out to get our money by getting us to buy two videos instead of one on the same topic - common words. Shame on them!

I bought this product for my granddaughter to introduce her to Spanish as a second language. I don't speak Spanish but want to expose her to more than counting to ten and the names of the colors. This product teaches basic vocabulary from native speakers. I bought Bilingual Baby at the same time and had I known that Brainy Baby includes all of Bilingual Baby and is produced by the same people, I would have bought just this one. I'm starting before she is talking so she is learning the vocabulary meaning and language equivalent. As a 30 year veteran retired educator, I highly recommend this product. Madison's Grammy

I ordered two other Dvds with this one and Brainy Baby-Spanish was the best. It kept my 23 month old engaged, while 123 Cuentame un Cuento is a bit advanced and Galloping Minds -- I did not care for at all -- anyone can hold up flash cards! In any event, Brainy Baby-Spanish was worth the buy. I am a spanish speaking mother who wanted to find a good product for my daughter while I am at work so she may study the language while she is at home since my sitter only speaks limited spanish. Thank you Brainy Baby!

I love this DVD and all DVDs in this series!! I am multi-lingual and want my child to learn French-Spanish-English at the same time. Most language DVDs always relate to English. Ex. they say the word in Spanish, followed by a "this means ... in English". I hate that!! I love this DVDs because they only say the word in Spanish or French while showing the picture. The English word is very discretely written on one side.They also use nice relaxing music and I enjoy watching them myself!!

It's quite a boring thing even for adults. I expected frequently repeated simple sentences, everyday conversations - ex. saying halo, thank you. Instead they serve a long list of infinitives and basic vocabulary without any usage. Disappointed.

ＢＧＭに一貫してクラシック調の音楽が流れていて、シンプルな絵や写真と文字、ナレーション（音）による単語の反復とスペイン語に触れる前の幼児や学生の脳（Brain）にスペイン語を馴染ませるための準備運動としてはよいかもしれません。ですが、それ以上を要求する人にはちょっと物足りないかもしれません。なお、このＤＶＤで扱っているスペイン語は、アメリカのスペイン語（俗に言うスパングリッシュ）のようで、一部スペインや南米のスペイン語の表現と違っている部分がありますので、ご注意ください。
