Italian for Kids: Learn Italian Beginner Level 1 Vol. 1

My children are 4 years old and are learning Italian. If the dvd were longer, I would have given it more stars. I was trying to rate it with 3 stars, but the system wouldn't let me change from 4 to 3 stars. 3 stars because it is so short. Still, it is a good, basic dvd for learning Italian. The kids like it, so they are willing to watch it regularly. There are some interactive games to help teach the words, the actors speak pretty clearly, and the animated dog is fun for the kids. With a book, you could teach the same words on your own, even if you don't speak Italian, because the dvd does not deal with an abundance of words/phrases. But, if you want a little break from teaching, this dvd works well and is not overly expensive.

this dvd is great. my 3 kids love watching it and actually ask to put it on instead of there other shows. i have a 4 1/2, 3 and 2 year old. the songs keep them interested the vibrant colors and mommo the dog is great. my son (2) already has been repeating the colors and body parts in italian. and my oldest daughter(4 1/2) is really saying the phrases and sentences that they teach. It really is a great learning tool for young children.

The Learning tree italian for kids is leaps and bounds ahead of the few learning dvds out there for italian. It is so much better than standard deviants. The cadence, pronunciation and accent are all very good. The only con is it leaves you wanting more. Hopefully the learning tree will produce more italian language dvds. It could also use more indept review of lessons, but still the best product currently in the market. Great for adults too.

My students are so excited about learning Italian and getting their diplomas. Your program was incredible. We all learned a lot! We can't wait to try Italian 2. Thanks so much!
