The BIG question is that does the concept of introducing lots of foreign languages to your little baby work??? Experts have shown that exposure to different languages may not make you a linguist overnight, but does make picking up those languages at a later date easier.
That said, the Baby Einstein DVD, Language Nursery does have a great concept, but unfortunately, is very poorly executed. Too many languages, unrelated pictures and words, and a lot of confusion makes this DVD avoidable.
- The Baby Einstein DVD introduces lots of different languages to baby
- This DVD holds the attention of most babies
- Babies like watching colorful images of toys and other kids on the DVD
- The DVD has unrelated images and speech at many places
- There are too many languages which makes it very confusing
- This Baby Einstein DVD is not as good as the others
- The DVD is too slow paced
- This Baby Einstein DVD introduces languages like French, German, Hebrew, Russian, English and more
- Colors, toys, kids and music are a part of this Baby Einstein DVD
- There is not much relation between the spoken words and shown content
- This Baby Einstein DVD can be confusing, and make little sense at times
- Actual length of DVD is not as long as other baby DVD's.
The basic concept of making a baby's mind receptive to different languages is a good one, no doubt. But introducing too many languages at one time for a short while each defeats the entire purpose.
The Baby Einstein Language Nursery DVD aims to develop baby's brain so that baby can pick up different languages at a later date. However, it is very hard to understand how short snippets of various languages can affect the brain development of the baby in the long run. If the baby is constantly exposed to a second or third language, in the long run, yes, the baby will eventually find it easier to speak those languages. But through this Baby Einstein DVD, with little relation between the images and the spoken word, and that too for such a short time, I don't see how it could help very much.
Many parents like this DVD because it holds the attention of the baby. Colorful images, sounds and other kids are a basic staple of most Baby DVD's, which work to hold baby's attention! I would recommend Brainy Babies Laugh And Learn DVD instead for much more educational viewing content for your child.
