REVIEWS
“Learning French has never been so much
fun. This wonderful program introduces children to the language using a
setting that they can easily relate to and non-intimidating vocabulary.
It’s young Penelope’s birthday and her family is joining her for the
party. The celebration is the basis for seven lessons introducing
greeting phrases, and words for family members, colors, parts of the
body, food, numbers, and gifts. Each lesson includes brief skits with
dialogue using the target words. Following each skit, one of the
characters repeats the key phrases as the vocabulary is written on the
screen in French and English. Several of the lessons include upbeat
songs that contain the targeted vocabulary and will have children
singing along in no time. A comprehensive phrase review and song
booklet is included that contains all of the dialogue, translations,
and answers to the quizzes. A must-have for every collection.”
“This DVD should be in every home. I thoroughly enjoyed my first lesson
in Spanish. Each lesson is broken down into short meaningful segments
that teach through repetition and song. Your children will play this
one over and over again. I encourage parents to sit down with their
children and reinforce the lessons they are learning. This one is a
must have for home schoolers and parents who want their children to
grow up knowing another language.”

"We watched Italian for Kids during all the children's Italian classes.
It was really a lot of fun. Children enjoyed the videos and had a good
time playing the ‘What time is it?’ remote control game."

"I watched the Chinese for Kids DVD and
really enjoyed the whole production. It is a great learning tool at a
beginner's level. The user interactive features were great to use and
supportive of learning. I think it would be good for parents to use to
learn basic Chinese. Younger children in K and Pre-K could also use it
as a tool."

"Anybody wanting an introduction to
Mandarin Chinese would greatly benefit from this video. The teaching
methods are clear, concise, and repeated for emphasis each time. Each
video has an instructional booklet with phonetic pronunciations for
each word. The cartoon characters are cute, without being cutesy, they
don't detract from the message: to teach the basics of an intricate
language. The tones that are characteristic of the Mandarin dialect are
taught with pictures and sounds that any young child can grasp. One
word, spelled exactly the same, has four different meanings, depending
on where the inflection is placed and the tonal quality in which it is
spoken. This is a quality product, recommended for anyone wanting to
connect with the Chinese culture."

“I've reviewed the video tape Billy and Benboo and really like the
Multi-Cognition Approach on which it is based. I also like the
organization of the story. I believe that both children and adults who
deal with children will find it entertaining while learning Chinese."
_______________________________________________________________________________________
"Learn Chinese with Billy and Benboo is a wonderful beginners level
video tape which teaches children in a fun and effective way to learn
Mandarin Chinese. Billy, his family, and their dog Benboo help to teach
every day vocabulary words and phrases appropriate for situations such
as meeting and greeting, bathing, playing with friends, eating and
counting in Chinese. The lessons are learned through fun stories and
sing-along songs. The video does an excellent job explaining the
various tones and helping to develop proper pronunciation. I highly
recommend this video."

"Several songs throughout the video make
the whole process fun! Literally, you can dance with the songs while
you and your children are learning - that's what I did with my kids.
The short sentences are easy to follow, and for every scene you get a
quick review on what you just learned. The multiple story sessions are
situations you bump into daily. It is amazing that all of the above is
packed in just 30 minutes!"
