I bought this for my three and a half year old son as we will soon be moving to Germany and there don't seem to be many other alternatives on the market without shelling out a fortune for 6 languages you don't need. Although the reading is beyond him (I read it for him and answer the quizzes on the remote control when he tells me the answer), he really enjoys the singing and conversation. He has asked to see it every day for a week now and even if he doesn't fully understand now, he will after a few repetitions. This DVD would be great for a 5 year old or over.

Highly recommended for beginners
3 Jan 2009
We recently purchased this DVD series for our daughter. We are going to Germany early next year to visit the grandparents and we wanted her to be start learning German. This video is excellent and has exceeded our expectations. Our daughter watches it over and over because she gets a real kick out of the animated dog. She also likes to show off her knowledge to us while doing the remote control games. We have been amazed that after only a few times watching the video she aced the true/false and multiple choice interactive games. We've been having fun practicing phases around the house to get prepared for our trip. The telling time section in particular we have found very useful. It helps with counting, how to ask someone the time and most importantly understanding what is repeated back. I would recommend this to anyone, child or adult, who is a beginning German student.

Beyond Horrible

Amazon Verified Purchase
We're trying to teach our toddler German, to which end I've purchased this DVD, the Little Pim Series, and Muzzy, the BBC language course. I can't stress enough how bad this product is: boring, uninspired, and unedited. For example, at one point in the DVD we're told we're meeting the boy's family: mother, father, and brother, when clearly he has a sister, not a brother. The acting is terrible; the children look uncomfortable and behave unnaturally, and the adults just look bored. The animated dog is a joke and adds nothing to the product. The Language Tree must have paid someone to do a 3-5 second clip of an animated dog, and then they just re-use the same clip -- overlaid onto the actual video -- over and over. Of course this means that most of the time the dog's expression doesn't make any sense. I would be seriously worried about any child who doesn't get bored with this rather quickly. I can't begin to fathom how anyone could give this a 4 or 5-star review. All I can think is that they haven't tried the Little Pim Series (highly recommended) or Muzzy.

Cute video

This is a cute video that provides a unique story-line for children to relate to.
