Learn Spanish with Carlos & Chiquitita

Summary: Great!
Review: My 18 month old child loves this video. At first, I did not like the poor animation and found the English narrator and subtitles to be distracting. However, now I love it and think that the songs are quite catchy. I still wish there was a function on the DVD to get rid of the subtitles.

Summary: Not Just for Kids - Grandparents will love it!
Review: My wife and I have twin grandsons (4 years old) and a granddaughter (10 years old). We thought that it would be a great idea for her to start learning Spanish. We initially tried to get her interested with the Learning Spanish Like Crazy lessons because that's our favorite learning Spanish course. But our granddaughter was only mildly interested in that course. Then we stumbled upon Learn Spanish with Carlos and Chiquitita and something strange happened.

Our granddaughter suddenly became fascinated with learning Spanish. Now she is so interested in learning Spanish that she not only watches the Learn Spanish with Carlos and Chiquitita DVD, but she also listens to the Learning Spanish Like Crazy lessons with Barbara and me. And we have become so fascinated with Learn Spanish with Carlos and Chiquitita that we watch the DVD with our granddaughter. This DVD is not only for children to enjoy. Any parent or grandparent interested in learning Spanish will really enjoy watching this DVD with their child or grandchild.

Summary: Very happy with DVD
Review: We are just starting to teach our four and five year olds Spanish, so we bought a few teaching aids, including Learn Spanish with Carlos & Chiquitita. Some items didn't take, but the kids really enjoy this video! The animation is fairly primitive, but for some reasons the kids really like it. The video packs a lot into a half hour (the family, vowels/animals, parts of the body, food, basic phrases, etc.) and the dialog intersperses some more challenging word along the way, so the kids learn more the more they watch. The DVD works particularly well at combining entertaining songs with animation, which our kids ask to watch again and again. It also comes with a helpful guide book to help parents, and includes subtitles in English and Spanish, to help parents who don't know Spanish. I only wish this company had more than one Spanish teaching aid!
