VHS Movie Reviews of Bilingual Baby, ITALIAN, Vol 4
Movie Review: Lovely Language Immersion for Young Children
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this for my 3 year old twins, who are learning Italian with me. It is recommended for children ages 1-5. It features real images (not cartoons) and shows three situations while the narrator repeats the word in Italian three times. So an apple may be shown three different times and the narrator will say the word "mela" three times. Images and words will be shown/said to complete a sentence. So they will show a dog and say the word "cane", then show children playing and say the word "giocare" and then show a ball and say the word "palla". Then, they form those words into a sentence, "The dog plays with the ball." all in Italian "Il cane gioca con la palla". When the sentence is said, they quickly flash the sentence in English for the parent, but are careful not to interrupt the flow of the child's concentration by flashing words in English during the individual images. However, they do show the words in Italian as they show the various images.
I was amazed that my children picked up so much so quickly. They speak along with the narrator. I love the idea that we also cut down a step - so that they see the item and hear the word in Italian, without the step of hearing an English translation. It is language immersion at its best!
The only thing I can think of to mention is that the video is 45 minutes long and my girls do get tired of watching after 30 minutes. There is a lot of information to process in a short time. But all in all, I am very pleased with the results we've seen. I'd highly recommend this to use in a collection, along with the "Italian for Children" audio/activity book packet to supplement. It is also available through amazon.
On a side note, I found it very helpful for my own learning purposes and would even recommend it for older children learning to speak the language. It does cover numbers, colors, and basic words. And my twins love to look at the other children, babies, toys, and animals that are shown. There are lovely shots of mothers and fathers with their children and kittens and things that little children and toddlers just love! Very well done and worth the money!
Ciao!
