Baby Einstein - Language Nursery [DVD]

This is not the quality of the other Baby Einstein movies! Dont waste your money. It didnt keep my infants attention for 2 seconds. They use the same toys the others use, but with voices instead of music. It was putting me to sleep where the other Baby Einstein videos energize you!

I purchased this after a good experience with a couple of other Baby E. DVDs which my daughter loved. This particular DVD does not really live up the the standards of our previous purchases. The music is funky and the images and the sound rarely ever correlate. It all feels very random. For example they go through numbers in various languages and the images are just random patterns that have nothing to do with the numbers. Plus the music is composed of funky zen tunes you would hear in a spa which just reinforce the weirdness of the whole thing. Its like they are trying to hypnotize the kids or something. Yes I understand the purpose of the DVD is to expose kids to various languages but it makes little sense to NOT correlate the images to words. Its a simple thing. The fact is exposing kids to just sounds from TV sources is not a good learning tool. You need to reinforce the visual aspects because that is TVs prime strength. Any way, I suggest staying away from this disc and buying something else in the series.

I did by this dvd from e-bay, when I started to play, its was very confusin for me to operate this dvd, you cant chose a language, you cant come back were you were, I had to read a guide!!! its not supose to be that hard. and no music!!! is this dvd for kids or what? not happy at all, I am afrade to buy another BE.

Love, Love , Love this videos...We own all the videos by Baby Einstein and I highly recommend them. Why you ask? What other program covers Language, Poetry, music and art in the way babies at least mine and my friends can understand! As adults we need to remember that these videos are directed for the infant to toddler and yes some of the videos might not look like much with a ball rolling across your tv screen set to the tunes of mozart but it has a real affect on my child. If he is in another room and I put the Bach video in he knows just by the music. He laughs and trys to talk to the characters. These videos keep my son focused, calm, excited depending on which video we put in. It gives me the oportunity to sit and review with my son the pictures, words so I can interact with him. I have also purchased the flash cards that go with the videos and it helps reinforce real life images. The only thing I wish is that the videos were longer than 30min. Before deciding not to enrich your childs education, go to [...] and read up on there method and why they made these videos. These video were created by a Mother. Honestly....Open your mind to diffrent tools of education and your child will prosper. I also recommend looking in to: So Smart baby videos, Brainy Baby videos and baby Gourmet. All are Great VIDEOS!!!!!!!

Baby Signing Time is so much more interesting. My daughter was bored by these videos but loves the songs from Baby Signing Time much more.

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.

What is this video suppose to be? Images and text dont even connect, it does not catches babies interest... If you want to start your baby with a foreign language you should better try Little Pim series which both catches the babys attention and is of great educational quality.

This is really a bad product. Our 4 month old daughter was completely disinterested. It is visually unstimulating and poorly thought out. It would be nice to know what they are saying in the different languages. My wife and I are multilingual and did not find the choice of languages to be helpful. Dont waster your money here, you are better off buying a book and reading to your child.

I still think this show is a bit weird. I understand that its concept is to expose your child to the sounds of different languages and not necessarily teach them the different languages, but my husband and I still dont know if we like it or not and weve watched it together several times. The language exposure is a good thing, but the images are completely unrelated to what is being said. I guess they have to do something to get the babys attention and the language exposure happens in the background sort of. I will say that the one part that has particularly entertained us all (mom, dad and baby) is the Japanese alphabet. Mommy likes to be silly and add goo-goo-gah-gah after ka-ki-ko-kay-ku. Anyway, rent it first if you can to try it out before you buy it. I am still a firm beleiver, however, in limiting the exposure my baby has to TV in general no matter how great the production is. Two or three shows a week is plenty in my humble opinion. Baby DVDs are a nice to have as entertainment suppliments... If you are going to buy these DVDs or videos, remember that your baby needs you more than any educational or entertaining TV and to use them sparingly.

My daughter started crying everytime I played this for her. She hated it. If you get as a gift ok. But save your money and buy barney or something from Elmos World. Theyll enjoy that alot more.
