my children both loved this so much that we have now ordered volume 2. It is fun with lots of repitition for them to learn basic italian - they can either just watch the DVD or do the interative version which asks them questions at the end of each section which my 5 year old enjoyed :-)

Good for absolute beginnners
20 Aug 2009
I bought this video (and the first part, too) for my 2 year old son to strengthen his emerging Italian. My husband is American and we live in the States, but I am Italian, so I speak only Italian to him. He enjoys watching the video over and over again and repeats sentences and songs. Yes, the video is short and easy, however it is for children not for adults, and I think it has just the perfect duration to keep their attention high.
The story line is nice. The songs in the video are catchy and stick in the mind for the longest time. The themes are basic: telling time, recognizing objects, expressing likes and dislikes,... At the end of each unit there are a review and a quiz.
Overall I like this course. The only criticism I have is the choice of the actors. Some you can hear are native speakers, but others like Nonna Romano or some of the children have a good pronounciation of the single words but a terrible intonation of the sentence.
For the price I would certainly suggest you buy this video. If you just want something for your kids to watch to learn a couple of structures, this is a very good product.

What happened to proper Italian pronounciation?
16 July 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.

BRAVO!!

The Learning tree italian for kids is leaps and bounds ahead of the few learning dvds out there for italian. It is so much better than standard deviants. The cadence, pronunciation and accent are all very good. The only con is it leaves you wanting more. Hopefully the learning tree will produce more italian language dvds. It could also use more indept review of lessons, but still the best product currently in the market. Great for adults too.
