This video is another release from The Baby Einstein Company, a group that is dedicated to introducing cultural concepts to infants and very small children. Bold patterns, colors, toys, and other basic objects are shown onscreen and are designed to teach abstract ideas like prediction and object permanence. Parents are encouraged to interact with the video by pointing to the objects on the screen and repeating or explaining them to the child. Baby Einstein focuses on phonemes, or the sounds of human language. The idea of teaching such a concept to very young children is based on research showing that infants have a natural ability to distinguish and absorb the sounds of all languages, but gradually lose this ability as they grow older. Repeated exposure to basic sounds of foreign languages at a young age may help form connections in the brain that allow them to be retained for a longer period of time. Included in the video are simple words, phrases, and numbers in the languages of English, Spanish, French, German, Hebrew, Russian, and Japanese. ~ Sarah Block, Rovi

    My son is 2 months old, at 7 weeks he began getting "bored" with our daily routine and protesting about it. One day, during his boredom fit I put him in his vibrating chair and put in this DVD...it seemed like a longshot that he'd enjoy it, but I had to try something! He instantly stopped fussing and began focusing on the sounds and images. He watches intently - cooing, gurgling, kicking, and moving his arms around while watching. The puppets, sounds, bright colors, and patterns really catch his attention. This movie and the B.E. Numbers Nursery are now part of our daily routine...one day Language, next day Numbers! I usually pop one in when he starts to get really fussy, then I can do something I need to do like start supper, or throw some clothes in the washer. I love these movies - they are educational, entertaining, cute, and helpful(to us both). I look forward to getting him more of these movies!

    When we started this DVD, I was talking to someone. My ears began to focus on sounds I could not make out, so I hit the subtitle button for the DVD player, for which it displayed a "not available" option. I read the back of the cover the DVD came inside of and found that I had Clearly Misunderstood the summary for this movie. Your child will hear nursery rhymes, the alphabet and counting from one to 20 on this film in Japanese, Russian, Spanish, French, German, Italian, English and Hebrew, SO DON'T BE SURPRISED. If you also check the bonus material of the DVD you will find the alphabet and pronunciation for each letter in all of the above languages and a few more, additionally for counting. This one is a valuable investment, consider purchasing. Not only will your child learn, so will you.

    I want to point out that your child is not supposed to "learn" the languages or understand them. It is not meant to teach them these languages. It is simply so that your child is exposed to other languages and the specific nuances in them. It is especially important to expose them early and often to different languages. If your child never hears anything except English, then, their ears aren't trained to hear the differences and it makes it a little bit harder to learn a new language down the road. by exposing them early, you are giving them a slight advantage over others.
