 What happened to proper Italian pronounciation? July 16, 2010

Definitely do not recommend if you are looking to teach proper Italian cadence to your kids, which is something I believe in being native Italian and having founded my own company ([...]) as a result of the fact that real Itlian words are very often americanized or mispronounced.The actress is definitely not Italian and has an extremely poor pronounciation.
 Italian for kids: Learn Italian beginner Level 1vol1 May 17, 2010

It was a nice basic video. A little too short. I wish it was done with cartoon characters because it will keep children 5 and older interest better.

I was glad to have found such a simple, yet educational dvd that teaches the Italian language! I'm studying abroad in Italy this summer, and this dvd was very helpful to me. Italain for kids vol. 1 teaches basic Italian words and phrases in simple methods. In this volume you learn several categories of Italian, such as colors, greetings, members of the family, body parts, counting from 1 - 10, and names of items, with games in between to test your knowledge. The dvd story and languages also presented as every day situations. In this volume, the main character, Marina, is celebrating her birthday. From then on, you learn various Italian words/phrases as the party is celebrated.
I loved learning Italian form this dvd. Despite that it was on a kid-level, I was able to learn at a pace in which I understood everything presented. If you are looking to learn Italian on a basic level, then this dvd is definetly for you. Chao!
Wonderful for my granddaughter November 25, 2009

We purchased this DVD for our granddaughter as she started to show an interest in her Italian heritage. I've tried to work with her and teach her some beginning Italian, but it was so difficult to hold her interest and often times she would tune me out. Italian for Kids has been a perfect solution, we watch it together, laugh at the cute dog character and in no time my daughter has started to use basic Italian phrases. We have made it our weekly ritual when she comes to visit each week and I'm amazed at how much more Italian she continues to pick up. I hope Language Tree continues to come out with additional volumes.

I thought the video was good for a small child to watch, but is not for an adult. I didn't like the creepy looking dog that changed voices throughout the video. I didn't like that each time the video was watched you had to play "pick which one is correct" games, it would be better to be able to opt out of them. Some of the kids were not Italian speakers, and struggled through the words they had to speak. I got a kick out of the grandmother in the video who is not a trained actress, and at one point had to speak to the cartoon dog. She gives this shrug and a chin lift like a typical Italian who is asked to do something stupid, the look on her face as she tells the dog that his answer is correct is worth the money spent for this video. This short video covers colors, numbers, and family members. The songs are simple enough that a child will quickly memorize them and sing along, and that's and important plus. It also has vibrant colors and a quick moving story that keeps a child interested, for the price it's worth it. I hope they use the grandmother in the next video, but not the dog.
