 REALLY FUN, ENJOYABLE AND EASY November 19, 2008
Used to reinforce our 4 y/o's learning on Saturdays. At home he enjoys listening and following in the book. The best advantage is in the car...its easy to follow and I hear him hours later singing the songs. I am learning right along with him and its great fun. Really happy with the purchase!
German for children November 26, 2007
The approach is well thought out and well organized with extensive guidance and tips to parents and teachers. The material is enthusiastic, energetic, and simple. The repetitions are presented in varying contexts so that the exercises do not become boring or laborious. It is an effective and enjoyable approach for children that also works well with adults.

I was hoping for something that would catch and keep a young child's attention. This is kind of "last century" style of language learning. A motivated child over 6 could manage alone. Otherwise, an adult will need to be there to help the child along.

I started the program about 3 weeks ago with my 3 1/2 year old son and he loves it! The exercise are fun, it is something we can do together, and he thinks it is "cool" that he can speak to Daddy in German. Good product.
My preschooler didn't like it, quality was average April 9, 2007
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
Overall I thought it was cute although not as good as I had hoped. I was hoping for more of an immersion approach with less English on the CDs. The sound quality was average and I think that for learning a foreign language the sound quality should be excellent. It sounded like it had originally been on cassette tapes and transferred to CDs without enhancing the sound quality.
My 3 year-old didn't like it, but that's simply her personaly preference. I can see how other children might love it.
There are quite a few references to witches and ghosts (but not in a scary way) and some parents may wish to know that before purchasing.
