NI HAO KAI LAN: PRINCESS KAI-LAN

I bought this for my little girl as she loves Dora the explorer, i had hoped that she would like this dvd too. I was pleasantly surprised, she loves it. The characters are very friendly, just like Dora. They teach the basics of another language, just like Dora. They have catchy songs, just like Dora. My little princess loves joining in with the singing and dancing and clapping that both Dora and Kai Lan get up to. Fantastic

My 3yr old son loves this program but i bought it with the intention of it being a useful resource for his learning of Mandarin and unfortunately there is only a few words in mandarin from which to learn from and they were words he already knew.However, due to his love of it, it has reinforced the words and he will repeat them more readily now then ever. As a whole it is a great program for toddlers and introduces them to the chinese culture, which is as importance as teaching the language, just wish the English and Chinese language was equally distributed.
