 English translation makes it comfortable for new learners. September 26, 2008
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.
 A wonderful series -- great for all families July 29, 2008
I love that this video series features children of all ages and many ethnicities -- so welcome in our bi-racial household. My kids love repeating after Bao Bei and friends. This DVD series makes my kids WANT to learn more Chinese and encourages my kids to use the vocabulary they learn here. We can't decide which DVD we like best in the series (you can watch them in any order), so our family recommends you get them all.
Love these videos! July 22, 2008
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!

My almost 3 year old son loves this dvd and requests to watch it quite a lot. we've only had it a month but he's already pick up quite a lot of the vocab. i think it would be more helpful if the pronunciation vocab at the end was put at the bottom of the screen or after each word rather than right at the end so that a connection can be made between the spoken and written aspect of the language - which is why I've only given 4/5.
Just perfect for preschoolers -- perfect intro to Chinese! May 20, 2008

This DVD is fun and not overwhelming for my two-year-old and my four-year-old. Bao Bei definitely captures their attention (and affection!!) and inspires my children to repeat words and phrases in Chinese. I think that this is a perfect introductory series for English-speaking children. I have tried other DVDs, which had WAY too much information for kids and were too much like drills. The kids in this video are multi-ethnic and of various ages, which I really appreciate. My kids adore Bao Bei and her cricket friend. The quality of this series is tops!
