| We recently purchased this DVD series for our daughter. We are going to Germany early next year to visit the grandparents and we wanted her to be start learning German. This video is excellent and has exceeded our expectations. Our daughter watches it over and over because she gets a real kick out of the animated dog. She also likes to show off her knowledge to us while doing the remote control games. We have been amazed that after only a few times watching the video she aced the true/false and multiple choice interactive games. We've been having fun practicing phases around the house to get prepared for our trip. The telling time section in particular we have found very useful. It helps with counting, how to ask someone the time and most importantly understanding what is repeated back. I would recommend this to anyone, child or adult, who is a beginning German student. |
Better than most.

| I was looking for a product to get my children started on learning German. They have had a little instruction in the past, but not enough consistency. They are 6 and 8 years old. This DVD captured their attention and my older boy was excited about the interactive games. They both liked the songs and even tried to sing along. Overall it was a positive experience and I think they will watch it again on thier own. On the down side, it is a little short on content and adults won't be overly impressed with some of the child acting...but it's fine for what we wanted. I have not tried the Muzzy DVDs so I can not compare it to them, but this product is better than many I have seen. |
Cute video

| I bought this for my 7 and 2 year old children as a supplement after finishing the German for Children CD series. This video covers all of the same ground (eerily so: does everyone learn their German colors from a balloon seller?). While my children loved the "home movies" of Sebastian and his friends at a birthday party, the quiz portion is tedious after you've done it once, and the songs on this dvd are not nearly as catchy as those on the German for Children CD. There's also a lot of cheesy low budget animation. Go with the CDs series. |
Okay

| My daughter wanted to learn German, so I bought this program for her. She's nine and loves dogs. She was bored with the program and thought it was for babies. She wanted a more rigorous program and basically refused to have anything more to do with this one. I thought it was okay myself--colorful, cute dog, nice kid, etc. I think she would have learned quite a bit with it, but she was more interested in grammar than conversation. (Strange child, I know.) I would recommend it for another child, especially younger or less sophisticated. |
