UPC:786936179705DESCRIPTION:From the moment babies are born, they use their developing senses to discover the world. In terms of sight, bold patterns in contrasting colors or black and white are initially preferred. As for sounds, Mother s gentle voice, in any language, is music to baby's ears. Language Nursery: Voices From Many Lands acquaints your baby with the sounds of foreign language by presenting delightful, visually stimulating images accompanied by spoken passages, natural sounds and music -- including nursery rhymes sung by mothers in their native languages of English, French, German, Hebrew, Japanese, Russian and Spanish. It's a rich, multicultural experience you and your baby can share as you watch, listen and play together! END
If you've been around babies in the last few years, you've seen these newfangled toys that are abstract in color (or just black, white, and red) and make curious, crunching noises. Studies have shown that these types of toys stimulate newborns, expanding the capacity of their little sponge-like minds. That concept comes to the video age in Baby Einstein. This 30-minute tape is called a "video board book" and the creators instruct parents of 1- to 18-month-olds to use it that way: huddle around the TV often pointing out objects and interacting with the child as you would with a book. Bright toys, patterns, blocks, and the like move across the screen accompanied by natural sounds, music, and voices. English, Japanese, Russian, German, and other languages are heard telling nursery rhymes or counting to 20. Now the creators don't expect your baby to recite "Humpty Dumpty" in Spanish by the end of the tape, but, as they state in the introduction, hearing different languages invigorates a baby's mind. These educators went on to combine classical music with their program on Baby Mozart and Baby Bach. --Doug Thomas

This is a review about Baby Neptune.
I am not sure why so many review for Language Nursery are showing up here but I just wanted to clarify what I was reviewing.
I got this for my son well over two years ago. He loved fish so I thought that this would be fun. He loved it and still does now at the age of three. My 1 yr old loves it too. They love the music and the shots of the water. The puppets are entertaining and they love to watch the kids on the video play. They love to sit and watch the aquarium part on the bonus features and it is a great way to calm them down.
I would highly recommend this video especially if your child likes fish and water.

What a wonderful addition to our collection! We have several Baby Einstein DVDs and I can tell when she likes one and when she doesn't. This one is keeper and may even be her favorite right now.

It's okay, but not great-doesn't have the good bonus material a lot of the other BE videos have-
By F. Khan (So. Cal)
I purchased this after a good experience with a couple of other Baby E. DVDs which my daughter loved. This particular DVD does not really live up the the standards of our previous purchases. The music is funky and the images and the sound rarely ever correlate. It all feels very random. For example they go through numbers in various languages and the images are just random patterns that have nothing to do with the numbers. Plus the music is composed of funky zen tunes you would hear in a spa which just reinforce the weirdness of the whole thing. It's like they are trying to hypnotize the kids or something.
Yes I understand the purpose of the DVD is to expose kids to various languages but it makes little sense to NOT correlate the images to words. It's a simple thing. The fact is exposing kids to just sounds from TV sources is not a good learning tool. You need to reinforce the visual aspects because that is TV's prime strength. Any way, I suggest staying away from this disc and buying something else in the series.
