Baby Einstein: Language Nursery

Rating:
Summary: Dull....
Review: This is not the quality of the other Baby Einstein movies! Don't waste your money. It didn't 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!

Summary: Language exposure might start with the alphabet?
Review: I did not like this video and neither did my 10 month old son. My son does, however, enjoy the baby davinci DVD which teaches body parts. I do believe in exposing children to other languages, but maybe something simple like the alphabet and numbers would be a good place to start instead of phrases and stories told in different languages that I can not even translate for my son. Simple images such as a cow followed by cow in english, french, spanish etc.. might be more interesting and educational. When this video started playing I immediately checked the language on the video to make sure it was English! I'm not sure if I'll be able to return this video but I will by attempting to do so later today!

Summary: not as good as the others--parents examine your motivation
Review: I love the other Baby Einstein videos. This video is really more for parents than for babies--I think it makes parents feel good about themselves--that they're culturally aware and trying to stimulate an interest in other languages in their children. This was given to me and my baby as a gift. It was truthfully rather dull. If I as a parent do not speak another language, my child is not going to magically gain the ability to understand another language by watching/listening to this video. Maybe a preschool child would benefit from this video, but what do people think, that somehow by osmosis or subliminal messages, their 4 month old is going to become a whiz at other languages? Again, I love the other Einstin videos, especially the animal video, and I find the music is very relaxing. But I think this video is all about being trendy.
