It’s A Small World! New Brainy Baby® DVDs Introduce Children to Different Languages
“Brainy Baby English,” “Brainy Baby Spanish” and “Brainy Baby French” Now Delivering to Stores from The Brainy Baby Company
Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) September 28, 2004 -- To very young children, every
language is a new language. In those precious first years, babies learn basic
words that form the vocabulary base they’ll build onto for the rest of their
lives. So there’s no better time to start them off on not just their first
language, but also a second, or even a third. And no one makes this easier than
the new line of language DVDs from the award-winning Brainy Baby
series.
Brainy Baby, created to inspire learning and develop cognitive
skills in young children, is releasing three new DVD titles, “Brainy Baby
English,” “Brainy Baby Spanish” and “Brainy Baby French,” which introduce some
of the most common languages spoken in the world today through words and objects
they use and encounter in their daily lives. Recommended for ages 1-5, the
Brainy Baby language DVD's are now available for a suggested retail price of
$19.95 each. VHS is $15.95.
“Language and child development experts
agree that children’s minds are sponges, which can absorb all sorts of wonderful
information if you present it to them in a way they can understand and enjoy.
Multiple languages are no exception,” says Dennis Fedoruk, president, The Brainy
Baby Company. “We’ve been looking forward to creating these new programs and are
very proud to be able to offer children the chance to further develop their
minds in an enjoyable and interactive style.”
Each DVD teaches first
words like animal names, body parts, toys, colors and numbers, as well as common
phrases, like “Please” and “Thank you.” Words are both spoken and displayed, and
connected directly to a visual children can relate to – a little girl’s smile,
an apple on a tree, a dog – all complimented by a lighthearted soundtrack, and
demonstrated by a multi-ethnic cast of children.
The same objects, words
and images are used on each DVD so transitions from one language to another are
made smoothly and easily. What children know to be “girl” in English, they’ll
then learn to be “fille” in French and “niña” in Spanish. The pet kitten they
play with they’ll soon be calling their “gatito" or “chaton.” And what parent
won’t be thrilled that their children can count to ten, say “hello” to a friend,
or offer a gracious “thank you” in another language?
While the Brainy
Baby French and Spanish programs are ideal for introducing these languages to
English-speaking children, “Brainy Baby English” is also a wonderful tool for
building a child’s first-language vocabulary, as well an introducing it to
children who learn English as a second language.
All titles offer extra
features like fun interactive vocabulary reviews, loop play (video will
automatically start over for uninterrupted viewing), Baby Bloopers, an
absolutely charming behind-the-scenes look at the making of the videos, and
sneak peeks of other Brainy Baby titles and DVD-rom activities. A Parent Guide
is also included to help parents collect their Brainy Baby libraries in sync
with their children’s development.
Brainy Baby language DVDS join the
expanding collection of Brainy Baby Learning Library DVDs including
“Peek-A-Boo,” “Laugh & Learn,” “Right Brain,” “Left Brain,” “ABCs,” “123's,”
“Shapes & Colors,” “Animals,” “Art,” and “Music.” Future Brainy Baby
subjects include sign language, math, and pre-reading and phonics. Brainy Baby
also produces musical CDs, books, toys, and electronic games through licensing
agreements with Vtech, Bendon Publishing and Imagination Entertainment.
This fall, the entire Brainy Baby DVD catalog will be released in
Spanish for distribution in the U.S. and Mexico. For more information about
