Baby Einstein - Language Nursery [DVD]

I love the Baby Einstein movies--my 21-month old has watched them since he was a few months old. This one has random words and sentences (poetry?) in different languages that have nothing to do with the visuals. It also has counting and alphabets spoken in several languages--again, with no relation to the visuals. My son is at an age where he needs recognizable words he can repeat and relate to what he sees. Perhaps it would be fine for a younger child but I think this one is just weird.

The first time I sat my son down to watch this DVD, he lost interest in just a couple of minutes from hitting play. Until I sat down with him and explained and went over everything with him, he actually had watched it with me. Its very bright, musical, and educational but youd have to take part in it if youd want to teach your child something. If you plan to have more children then its worth buying but if youre unsure, try buying it used or borrow it from a friend or relative. Itll last you for a year from birth, maybe two years but after your child recognizes Barney or Blues Clues, itll be boring and unentertaining to them.

I have to admit I am the biggest advocate of the Baby Einstein products - I own them all! However, this one was slightly disappointing. In a country where spanish is the second most spoken language they limit the information on it! I am a native speaker and was disappointed to know that all languages included in the video count to 20 while spanish only goes to 10. Not to mention the flash cards are incorrect. We found 2 errors on those. So, while these may be entertaining they are limited in properly educating a child. I would not have written this review except for the fact that I Emailed their customer service AND sent a comment via their website only to be ignored. Hopefully, they will fix this so future owners of this product can really get their moneys worth.

My four month old has been watching the Baby Einstein dvd Language Nursery for a month and never gets tired of it. She loves the starfish and smiles every time she sees it. She is mesmorized by the different pictures and different languages. I recommend this dvd 100%.

My baby is 7 months old and she is soooo entertained with this DVD. I love that it exposes her to several different languages. She enjoys the music and she cries when it finishes. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS DVD!

This movie makes no sense! The narrator reads numbers to twenty yet the syncronized clock only goes to 12. This is just one example of how there is no correlation between what the narrator says and the images that are displayed. The poems in the various language are boring. The movie is confusing. A better approach would have been to show simple objects and repeat simple words in various languages. Instead, the movie includes LONG passages in foreign languages without saying what language is what and without showing visuals to help the listener understand what is going on. Quite honestly, this is the worst baby einstein video Ive seen.

This concept has so much potential but the images have absolutely no relation to the sound. Some of the images are visually stimulating and some are just weird and creepy. My 9 month old was not interested.

My child received this DVD as a Christmas gift, and I was immediately excited. Friends had raved about the series, referring to them as baby crack for the way their children have become addicted. I looked forward to having a few minutes to shower or clean the house...but didnt get that benefit. Others have accurately described its contents, so I wont belabor it. Let it suffice to say that it was not captivating for my child (then four months, now ten) then or now. The Baby Mozart CD (yes, just the music) is far more effective.

unfortunatlly i got a dvd that dosnt work.... he lagnguge is not english and when i tried changing and choosing english lang. it dosnt repond... so am stuck with it

DVD is one of my favorite child.
