Sign-Me-A-Story: Sign Language Fun for Everyone!

Peter DeLuise, Holly Robinson Peete

Random House Video, 1987

My kids are enthralled with these stories.
This is really an excellent tape, with clear signs. I have a three-year-old and also a four-year-old with Down Syndrome, and both love it. They were signing along the first time, and would watch it all day if I let them. I especially liked the vocab introduction they ...

Talking Hands: A Sign Language Video For Children

Talking Hands

Consumervision, 2000

Kids enjoy it
I have 3 sons and they all enjoyed watching this video, and learning to speak with their hands.

Lyric Language More Spanish/English 2

Lyric Language

Penton Overseas, 1999

AWESOME video for children and adults!!
This video is *excellent*. My daughter started watching these as a baby [I left them playing in the background so she would be used to hearing Spanish] and they still entertain her as a three year old. The songs are extremely catchy, sung in Spanish and English with ...

Signing Naturally - Student Videotext: Level 1 Functional Notional Approach (American Sign Language Series)

Cheri Smith, Ella Mae Lentz

Dawn Pictures, 1988

Signing naturally
I bought this book, the copy I got came with either a VHS or DVD. Lots of good video and a good book to go with it. I recommend it for learning ASL. I bought volume 2 and 3 as well.

Bilingual Baby, SPANISH

Randy J. Goodwin, Heather Ankeny

Consumervision, 2000

Toddler, Mom + Dad All learning Spanish
We purchased this video based on other Amazon evaluations. We are so happy we purchased this video. We wish it was on DVD, but it's not available that way. Even still, it's no big deal to fast forward past the very brief intro (no commercials for other videos, YEA). ...

Nine to Five

Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin

20th Century Fox, 1993

One of the BEST comedies of all time!
There is NOTHING negative about 9 to 5. It is simply one of the best movies ever made! Dolly is precious; Lily is a stitch; and Jane, while I dislike her politics,is hilarious! Dabney Coleman is at his usual comedic best; and the supporting cast are all simply ...

Don't Make Waves

Tony Curtis, Claudia Cardinale

MGM/UA Home Video, 1997

Why did Draper never make another picture!?!
Don't Make Waves is an enchanting oddity from the UK director Alexander Mackendrick who made THE SWEET SMELL OF SUCCESS and many previous British comedies with Alec Guinness and the like. And underneath its hip, mod clothing DON'T MAKE WAVES shares with the Ealing ...

Major League

Tom Berenger, Charlie Sheen

Paramount, 2001

"You trying to say Jesus Christ can't hit a curve ball?!"
I love this movie, I really do. MAJOR LEAGUE, to me, hasn't lost an iota of its watchability factor. The uproarious humor, sometimes verrrry salty, still cracks me up. The underdog theme still gets me cheering wildly. Its unexpected moments of poignancy, still ...

Baby Einstein Gift Pack Volume 1 (Baby Bach/Baby Newton/Language Nursery/Baby Shakespeare)

Walt Disney Video, 2002

My kids loved them!
Even I watch! Kids love to see moving toys, bright colors, sound effects, and hear music. Not so impressed with some of the newer ones like Doolittle, and he one with the computer graphics turns me off, but the kids like it. I also bought the Speech Therapy Home ...

BBC Muzzy Spanish Early Advantage Set Language Course for Children

We absolutely love Muzzy
We bought the Muzzy Spanish DVD program for our son when he was an infant. He is now two and a half and understands a lot of Spanish and he really loves the cartoons. I would recommend it. We are planning to get it in other languages as well.

Fairy Tale Classics in American Sign Language Vol. 2

Great idea; not great execution
My kids were ready to move up from just "Signing Time" and other one-word ASL videos, but this one does not teach very well, as the voice interpreting is not lined up with the signing. It would be great for a deaf kid who would just turn the sound off, though.

Fun with Colors - English-Portuguese

Fun with Languages, 2002

Fun with Colors was created to teach the primary and secondary colors in English and Portuguese. We follow a kindergarten curriculum. The award winning video is divided into two parts stimulation and participation. Stimulation takes place through visual aides combined with a classical music background. Participation is achieved when your child ...

The Standard Deviants - Italian 2-Pack

Anna Stenlund, Marion Rung

Not Avail, 2000

Bravissimo!
This has been one of the most helpful items I've used to learn a language. I recommend it to anyone wanting to learn Italian. These videos are modern and up-to-date. They're fun, and definitely not boring. I love the role playing that they do because it helps ...

Follow Jade! Learn Chinese: Let's Visit Chinese Kindergarten

Jade Qian

Master Communications Inc, 2003

Positive, colorful introduction to Chinese
I¡¯m considering Chinese lessons for my 5 & 6 year old sons, and picked up the Follow Jade videos to try and get a feel for what we¡¯d be in for. In the first half of the summer, my sons (and I) have managed to learn the numbers, fruits, and other basic words. But ...

Fairy Tale Classics in American Sign Language Vol. 1

Story telling ASL stories on stage
The voice over is well spoken and fun, and the ASL story tellers are wonderfully entertaining (Lou Fant, Freda Norman, Pat Graybill, Mary Beth Miller). The entire story is told by each of these storytellers on a stage decorated with colorful ladders. The reason my ...
