Wow i love This one
I have bought CD after CD. Finally this is one that I can learn while I'm driving and my 8 year old and three-year-old can't do. I really love this 1. And it never skips as well. All these C d's are made so cheaply they skip. I'm gonna look and see if they're making any more of these

My kids watch it every morning.
My kids (preschool-2nd graders) watch it each morning on the way to school. Its a 20-30 minute drive each way. It takes a few days to get through the whole dvd. After a few weeks they are singing along and using what they have learned in their day to day conversations. They have learned more in 3 weeks of daily viewing than they have going to Spanish 1x a week for 3 months. The repetition and singing seems to help with retention.

Rock N Learn Spanish
I own several Spanish instructional dvd's for children and I feel this is the best overall. It covers a very broad range of useful words and phrases. I have found that it is easy to recall what is learned in a song. Some sentences may seem odd at first, but a sentence such as 'I have a black cat' is useful for teaching "I have...." Once one knows that phrase, it is easy to mix it with other words to form new sentences. More than once I have pulled a phrase from one of the songs out of my brain and used it appropriately. The video is not high tech--I joked to a friend that it must have been put together the week after computer animation was invented. It also has one lady (out of four actors) whose clothing is a tad skimpy---not terrible, but it just seems unnecessary and out of place. I wouldn't recommend watching the entire show in one sitting. It would be better to concentrate on a few songs at a time, master them, and move on. My boys and I are now using the Rosetta Stone program (it's the best) and found that we knew a fair amount of words inlcuded in the first level because of what we learned from Rock N Learn.

The dvd is fun and engaging
I am fluent in English. Spanish is not reinforced at home which is the reason I decided to purchase this dvd for my 5 year old daughter. She loves it.The dvd is fun and engaging. The rhythm of the songs keep her entertained and eager to learn. Since she is only 5 years old, once the lessons escalate to advance words both in English and Spanish it loses her attention.Overall, the dvd is great. The small words such as "Hello, Good Morning, Colors and Numbers" are words she practice repeating with the dvd. She than recite the words back to my husband and I. Once the lesson pick up the pace with larger words in English and Spanish, I know that part of the dvd is too advance. She will learn how to pronounce the words as she gets older.I recommend this dvd.

Buy with caution
Music seems to be louder than the speakers' voices. Is a lot of time devoted to some sort of dancing by the young women. This doesn't seem to be what small children should be watching for role models or for language education -- but then not really appropriate for older kids/teens either. Sound quality and graphics are not great. The word lessons themselves are okay enough but would have been better if presented in a much different way. Maybe if the DVD had children as speakers instead of adults, etc.

Not what I had in mind.
If you've been like me where you've been looking for a Spanish DVD to help your toddler then you know the struggle of finding anything out there that will captivate and teach. I really was trying to find something with the Spanish alphabet and I was so excited when it said it taught it. I literally opened the package and popped the DVD in while my whole family was on the couch waiting. Never have I been so embarrassed. It was this back and forth conversation between adults with this cheesy music on the background. While I get the concept with the different conversations, this is not easy to get through. It is so hard to stay awake or to start engaged with. It's beyond boring, unless you're like me and love to just critique the people and their horrible acting. Like others said, the women on here are a little phony with their thought outfits and somewhat sensual air when they talk and pose and what not. I wish there was a way to return this overpriced DVD but I feel bad cause i took off all the wrapping. Honestly the only way I can see anyone watching it is in segments... A minute or 2 per day cause all at once... I would fall asleep. It's such a boring DVD.

A DVD that teaches Latin American Spanish in a fun way.
A DVD that introduces children to standard Spanish, non peninsular. The Spanish taught is Latin American so vosotros, familiar plural of Spain is not taught. It is a good primer for children and even adult beginners as the tunes are catchy and the songs are memorable, that means the vocabulary is retained better.I would recommend this DVD for any beginner whatever your age.
