The Little Pim series is one of the more professionally constructed and executed approaches to the total immersion method of language instruction. Little Pim, an animated panda, is the spokesperson, and the program presents situations familiar to children. For example, Eating and Drinking begins with Little Pim eating bamboo, and then moves on to show children (and their pets) eating and drinking. Each DVD introduces 60 words in seven five-minute segments, which is perfect for young attention spans, using repetition to reinforce learning. The diverse children in the films range in age from a few months to five years old. The animated segments are beautifully integrated with the live-action video. The panda narrates, and while his voice is a bit high-pitched, it is clear and relatively pleasant. English subtitles are available. This series is similar in quality and approach to the Osmosis series, and is preferable to Kids Love Spanish (Brock Sisters Prods., 2006) for integration of visuals and pacing. An excellent tool for beginning language instruction in the home and in schools.

The Little Pim series uses immersion and interaction techniques to create an engaging and fun-to-watch language learning experience. Pim, an animated panda, is the series’ main character who begins each learning section. Each introductory animated skit is followed by live-action footage of children engaged in everyday activities. Pim narrates these sections, and the French vocabulary words are circled as they are spoken, with a graphic overlay of the word for emphasis. The concepts transition well, with later lessons building on previous ones. The focus is on the first words typically acquired by children (e.g., bed, fork, fruit, I’m hungry, I’m tired, etc.). Each DVD teaches more than 60 new words and phrases arranged in five-minute episodes. The narration is clear, crisp, and easy-to-understand; the music is cheerful but not overpowering; and the visuals are colorful and vibrant. The parent guided contains general information on pandas and early language instruction. There are optional English subtitles. An entertaining introduction to very basic French vocabulary for preschoolers.

I am an elementary French and Spanish teacher and have recommended your DVDs to parents who always ask what they can be doing at home to help their children practice the language. I searched around the Internet in response to their request and came across your products. Several of them have purchased them and are very happy with them. I have begun integrating the DVDs into my class curriculum as well. The students enjoy the character of Little Pim and look forward to seeing him. It is great to have the flash cards and the stuffed-animal version of Little Pim as well because it gives us an opportunity to bring Little Pim to life in the classroom.
