Product Description
Perhaps the sweetest sounds you'll ever hear are the babbles and coos that one day become ma-ma, da-da and I love you. Besides being music to your ears, these baby steps of language change everything as your little one discovers an exciting, powerful new way of relating to the world! Baby's First Sounds invites both of you to share these memorable moments: those precious ''firsts'' that come around once in your baby's lifetime. Watch, listen and join in as your baby is exposed to five basic sounds: ''ah,'' ''buh,'' ''duh,'' ''ee,'' and ''mm.'' Then, these sounds are connected to simple words in languages such as English, Spanish, Chinese and French and reinforced with fun puppet shows, familiar nursery rhymes and real-life images of loving parents spending together-time with their babies -- all accompanied by beautiful classical music in the Baby Einstein tradition. Not Rated. Available to own March 11, 2008

 Too confusing for little ones!! November 5, 2008
C. Holland (Colorado Springs, CO)
First off, you have to learn to walk before you can run. Same applies for kids in America; you have to learn ENGLISH before you learn Spanish, French, Italian, etc. This video devotes too much time to foreign languages.
Also, they show different examples of fathers with their children but the word they teach the baby isn't the word you'd think:"Daddy" or "Father". Instead they say "Papa" in an Italian accent which sounds way too close to "Ba-ba" which is what many babies know as their bottles! I mean who really calls their fathers papa anyway?
Save your money and pass this one up unless you want your toddler ambling around the house singing "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" in French.
Terrible- Don't buy this dvd October 2, 2008

It spends way too much time on foreign languages and not enough time on baby's first sounds. If you are going to do foreign languages, make sure to have a seperate track option. Keep english to english track, spanish to spanish, chinese to chinese track. Do not put them all together!!!

I would have given this DVD a 5 star review if it were in English only.
 Son LOVES this one! July 7, 2008
Jane Maven (WI USA)
This is my son's favorite Baby Einstein DVD. He listens to the sounds, enjoys when they say sounds he can say. It doesn't bother me that there are foreign languages in it, it's the sounds he is learning. The bee is his FAVORITE!
Excelent for brain's development June 26, 2008

Don't hestitate on buying this DVD. As with all products some babies will like it and some don't. Mine love it and enjoy all the sounds of the different languages (maybe because since her birth see has been exposed to english, spanish and french at least; remember that all the baby einstein DVD's have the function of choosing the language and I use them all with her). Now at 1 year old I can ask her for all her part bodies in english or spanish and she can identify them whitout any problem.
What I know is that at this stage, the baby's brain is learning a lot of stuff that will use as reference in the future. Not that they will "learn" all the langugaes on the DVD but they get used to the different sounds, so later they will be able to reproduce them if they choose to learn a new language. (ie, for the english spoken people is very hard to pronunciate de "RRR" sound that mexican people use as in "perro", because they never heard that sound as babies and never used it.
I really, really recommend this DVD as a tool for they future development.
