Dino Lingo Italian!

So I was introduced to Dino Lingo which is a Language Learning Program for Kids through the Influenster program, and I was told to watch a preview of their videos and write a blog on the topic. Wow was I impressed with this series. For starters, I watched the French video on their Youtube page www.youtube.com/dinolingo



Then I thought, you know, my nieces will be learning both French and Spanish in middle school as part of our towns curriculum, so I decided to check out the Italian version and was pleasantly surprised with them. Growing up, I was used to watching Muzzy in our language classes, and to be honest, they were just so cheesy and boring I wouldn't pay attention. These however, would have caught my attention.



I personally took Italian in highschool and LOVED IT! I thought it was such an awesome language to learn, and used to try and speak Italian with my grandfather who is Italian and refers to himself as a "Guido" (Because of Jersey Shore of course...) which ironically was his fathers name :)

ANYWHO, back on track, this program seems AMAZING! Dino Lingo is an award winning language teaching program designed for small children aged 2-7. Crazy as it seems, my 10 year old niece would LOVE this program as well. I think it'd be easy and interesting for both of my nieces to learn.

Each full home education set comes with a TON of things. One of which is a 5 DVD kit that includes colors and numbers, food (fruits and vegetables), playtime (toys, vehicles, house objects), verbs, nature, family, body parts and clothing. This goes above and beyond as to what Muzzy used to teach us. This set also includes 150 learning flashcards to help your children practice their lingo. The cards go in the same categories that are shown in the DVDs. Also an Italian vocabulary book for kids, which is considered a guide book to the DVDs which I find is AWESOME! So while they're watching these DVDs they can be filling out their vocab books. Another thing included is an Italian poster kit for kids. These posters are of colors, numbers, body parts, clothes ect. there are 10 posters which have the most important 150 words kids need to know! A world map, italian flag, coloring book, guide booklet for parents, and plush dino toy are also included. This set retails for $148.95 with FREE shipping! This is a STEAL for a full home education set, and would be great if you'd like your kids to get back to their italian heritige.

There are also smaller sets such as the basic set which comes with 5 DVDs, 150 flash cards, dinosaur poster and parents guide (Retail $99.95); the poster set which comes with the 10 posters, world map, and italian flag (Retail $59.95) and lastly the plain DVD set which just contains the 5 DVDs (Retail $89.95).

The Dino Lingo program comes in 30 different languages. Yes, I said it, 30 DIFFERENT LANGUAGES!!! That's ridiculous! Everything from Greek, to Portuguese, to even Fillipino!
