 Great DVDs!Jun 21, 2007
By Anne Egan
My 3 year old loves both dvds! She keeps asking for Bao Bei! I've heard her say things in Chinese around the house. I know she's definitely learning, and she's having fun while she's doing it. I don't expect her to be fluent in Chinese by watching a couple of dvds, but I think her pronunciation is quite good and this is a great introduction. Hope they come out with more.
I thought my 5 year old would be too old for this dvd, but she loved it! The colorful dvd really captures her attention. She seems to really enjoy watching the panda. There's the right amount of repetition of the words. Seems like she's picking up some words!

 Not as good as "Baby Learns Chinese"Feb 14, 2009
By L. Liu
I bought this DVD thinking that my daughter (22 months) would love it, since she loves "Baby Learns Chinese" DVD. But I was disappointed. She is not interested in this DVD at all. I am also not happy that it has both English and Chinese. It would be more effective if it is ALL in Chinese. Children learn best if they are totally immersed in the language. I speak both English and Chinese, and the "Baby Learns Chinese" DVD definitely has better pronounced Chinese. Baby Learns Chinese 1

WJan 05, 2008
By Doting Dad to M and R
I wish these videos were sold as a set. Our family loves watching all of the Bao Bei DVDs. We're all picking up a lot of Chinese. Our kids don't even realize that they're watching something educational. They just want to watch Bao Bei over and over again. They laugh a lot while watching and repeat the Chinese words and phrases. We really like the glossaries at the end of the 3rd and 4th videos. The moving mouth has helped my wife and me a lot with pronuncation.

 English translation makes it comfortable for new learners.Sep 26, 2008
By Tiff in CT
This DVD was colorful and slow-moving. It was great for me, an adult who knows not-a-word in Chinese. My son, 3-years-old, could have used a faster pace. With English translation, it was a non-threatening way to learn four colors: red, green, blue and yellow; four animals: dog, cat, duck and rabbit; and a handful of useful phrases. New words were repeated often and clearly. And, for the adults, I loved the section at the end which gave the phonetic spelling for the Chinese words and phrases.

Love these videos!Jul 22, 2008
By Pauline "Mother of Two"
I am a Chinese American while my husband is Caucasian. Although we speak English at home, we really want our daughters to be able to speak Mandarin as well. The Bao Bei videos have been great and definitely a hit in our home. My almost 3 year old is always asking to watch Bao Bei and my 10 month old is fascinated by the colors and characters in the videos.
What's most fascinating is that my almost 3 year old now can name all the colors as well as count in Mandarin. If you are a parent and want your kids exposed to and learn Mandarin Chinese, definitely get all the Bao Bei video series!
