 this is a great dvd for your BABY - not for ADULTS, folks. Duh. March 21, 2007

I agree with a previous reviewer who stated that the negative reviews of this DVD are from parents/caregivers who are evaluating it on their own enjoyment and/or understanding of it. Of course it's going to be boring or confusing to an adult or even to an older baby. The point of the Language Nursery video ISN'T to teach an infant how to speak the languages that are used on it...it's just supposed to expose them to the different sounds being spoken. The concept here is the same as when you read your child a book or play a DVD for them in English - exposure to the different sounds used to communicate = stimulation/development. That said, I don't think any of the Baby Einstein DVDs actually encourage development at all. That's why the AAP recommends no TV viewing till they're at least 2. These DVDs are nothing but a quick distraction for when you have to have 2 hands to fold laundry or mix their cereal up. Period. This is my daughter's favorite B.E. title, we have a few others. The gentle pictures and music are something she is absolutely glued to the entire time. And that allows me to get something else done for 20 minutes. If you're looking for this DVD to accomplish something else, you're going to be disappointed. I haven't seen one baby yet who is at least 1 month old who doesn't like this one, and hopefully that's endorsement enough. We're at 6 months and she still loves it.
 Understanding for Children December 5, 2006

BE Language Nursery is for children, every adult that is complaining about this video that did not observe their child's happiness with the video are speaking from their own understanding. The proof is if your child loves it and responding positive to it, it is doing its job. It is not made for adults. I believe this video is great. They use colors that infants pay attention to..for instance; black and red, striking colors, moving objects, cute music, nursery rhymes, counting, and abc's all in different languages. The different languages are foreign to our ears but it gives exposure to an infant's brain for broader learning. Studies have and do show that children that are bi and triligual pick up and retain learning information very well. The child will not get confused about what language they are suppose to speak. When I first watched the video, I placed it on English but it started with some German or Russian so I kept playing with the video because I thought it was defective and was going to take it back to the store but I decided to watch it and I started to understand what they were doing. Now that I played it over and over again for my daughter, I myself started to learn some of the things they were saying in the video in the other languages because they count and say abc's in mostly all the languages (Hebrew, German, Russian, Spanish, Japanese, French, and English). Bonus material is the counting, abc,s and the language discovery part of the video that goes with the cards. I myself do not find the video irritating, I think it is cute. My daughter is 4 months old and she kicks, flaps her arms, laughs, and coos loudly to the video at all the different images. I can tell which images she likes more because she will get very excited when she sees them.
I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 stars because the video will not let you operate it on the long commercials in beginning of the video. The language discovery bonus portion of the video does not cover all the language discovery cards.

As compared to a lot of the other Baby Einstein videos for this age group, this is one of my son's least favorites. He just doesn't seem interested.

Not my favorite, but good just the same. A bit too advanced for a child age 0 to 3 months.
