Spanish by Rock 'N Learn

This is a wonderful dvd to follow along while walking on your treadmill. The longer you go, the more challenging it becomes. Each section continues to build upon previous learned sections.

I am fluent in English. Spanish is not reinforced at home which is the reason I decided to purchase this dvd for my 5 year old daughter. She loves it.The dvd is fun and engaging. The rhythm of the songs keep her entertained and eager to learn. Since she is only 5 years old, once the lessons escalate to advance words both in English and Spanish it loses her attention.Overall, the dvd is great. The small words such as "Hello, Good Morning, Colors and Numbers" are words she practice repeating with the dvd. She than recite the words back to my husband and I. Once the lesson pick up the pace with larger words in English and Spanish, I know that part of the dvd is too advance. She will learn how to pronounce the words as she gets older.I recommend this dvd.

I own several Spanish instructional dvd's for children and I feel this is the best overall. It covers a very broad range of useful words and phrases. I have found that it is easy to recall what is learned in a song. Some sentences may seem odd at first, but a sentence such as 'I have a black cat' is useful for teaching "I have...." Once one knows that phrase, it is easy to mix it with other words to form new sentences. More than once I have pulled a phrase from one of the songs out of my brain and used it appropriately. The video is not high tech--I joked to a friend that it must have been put together the week after computer animation was invented. It also has one lady (out of four actors) whose clothing is a tad skimpy---not terrible, but it just seems unnecessary and out of place. I wouldn't recommend watching the entire show in one sitting. It would be better to concentrate on a few songs at a time, master them, and move on. My boys and I are now using the Rosetta Stone program (it's the best) and found that we knew a fair amount of words inlcuded in the first level because of what we learned from Rock N Learn.

I have bought CD after CD. Finally this is one that I can learn while I'm driving and my 8 year old and three-year-old can't do. I really love this 1. And it never skips as well. All these C d's are made so cheaply they skip. I'm gonna look and see if they're making any more of these

If you've been like me where you've been looking for a Spanish DVD to help your toddler then you know the struggle of finding anything out there that will captivate and teach. I really was trying to find something with the Spanish alphabet and I was so excited when it said it taught it. I literally opened the package and popped the DVD in while my whole family was on the couch waiting. Never have I been so embarrassed. It was this back and forth conversation between adults with this cheesy music on the background. While I get the concept with the different conversations, this is not easy to get through. It is so hard to stay awake or to start engaged with. It's beyond boring, unless you're like me and love to just critique the people and their horrible acting. Like others said, the women on here are a little phony with their thought outfits and somewhat sensual air when they talk and pose and what not.I wish there was a way to return this overpriced DVD but I feel bad cause i took off all the wrapping.Honestly the only way I can see anyone watching it is in segments... A minute or 2 per day cause all at once... I would fall asleep. It's such a boring DVD.

Music seems to be louder than the speakers' voices. Is a lot of time devoted to some sort of dancing by the young women. This doesn't seem to be what small children should be watching for role models or for language education -- but then not really appropriate for older kids/teens either. Sound quality and graphics are not great. The word lessons themselves are okay enough but would have been better if presented in a much different way. Maybe if the DVD had children as speakers instead of adults, etc.

While the graphics are not the most sophisticated, I do like the way they present the information. The first day we got the video and played it for my 4-year-old she insisted we play it over and over and over again.She has picked up phrases very quickly and is responding in Spanish. We speak a bit of both in the household and thought this would be a good way to introduce phrases. Some of the phrases toward the middle to the end are difficult and it is funny to see the characters try to match them to the music but at young ages their minds are sponges and every little bit helps. I would definitely recommend it.

The one singer acts like she’s singing at a nightclub in a sexy way not like she’s singing for kids. Another singing extends her tongue out so Far for some of the words. , I’m not sure why. The characters are so unreal it could have been better. We have 2 of their dvds in English and are grandson loves them. This one is a waste of money.
