The program comes in 31 different languages, and uses animated dinosaurs to introduce children to 200 common words and phrases.
I watched the dvd along with my children, and I thought that although the graphics weren't the best (and although I could overlook that), the sound quality wasn't up to par. In order to learn to speak a language, you need to correctly hear the pronunciation of words. This dvd's sound quality was sub-par, and I had difficulty understanding/hearing what the characters said, never mind trying to repeat it. There also wasn't any translation of what the characters were saying, which made understanding a little difficult. My children said they prefer their language lessons (spanish and french) that they receive in school.
The program retails for $99.95 (plus S&H) on their website, Dino Lingo, and comes with 5 dvds, 100 flash cards, 1 poster, 1 calendar, and 1 picture dictionary booklet.
