Fritzi's in the house! But dónde está Fritzi? Finding the
mischievous mouse Fritzi is just part of the fun in this lively
Spanish language learning program. Welcome to Fritzi's house,
where up or down, inside or out, there is lots to learn and
plenty to do. Explore every area of Fritzi’s house, from el
dormitorio (the bedroom) and el baño (the bathroom) to la sala
(the living room) and la cocina (the kitchen). An engaging
interactive format teaches children greetings, parts of the
house, positional words, food, daily activities, numbers, and
more. But that's not all! Vamos a cantar y bailar! (Let’s sing
and dance!) This DVD will have children on their feet dancing
along to upbeat rhythms. Adentro y Afuera is an engaging blend of
colorful backgrounds, charming animation and live-action that
kids will want to revisit again and again.
The DVD teaches Spanish using the immersion teaching method
recommended by language acquisition experts. (For more about
immersion, please watch the Language Immersion video on the
Whistlefritz website.) The DVD includes an easy-to-use
translation guide for parents and teachers. Designed for ages
2-7, Adentro y Afuera is fun for all ages!
Review
------
If you are looking for a great video to begin the introductory
process to the Spanish language, look no further than this DVD.
Parents reported that the methods used, including zero
translation and total immersion worked wonders, despite the fact
that many were skeptical at first. Kids would watch over and
over, enjoying Jorge the musician responsible for the
Whistlefritz music, and Fritzi the Mouse. It is the repetition
that finally began to pay dividends as children would recognize,
then understand and then repeat what they learned. Parents told
us they were learning too! --The National Parenting Center
This educational DVD is very colorful and a delightful way to
teach Spanish to your young children. Using everyday conversation
is how we learn any language and this is the way this DVD teaches
your youngsters Spanish. There are no translated subtitles to
follow, just a wonderful and entertaining show that the children
will be in awe of as they watch and learn. Dove awards their
Family-Approved Seal for all ages to Spanish for Beginners:
Adentro y Afuera (Inside and Out). --The Dove Foundation
Viewers young and old were captivated from the moment the
bright-eyed, engaging and charming host, Maria, appeared on
screen. Maria spends her time searching around her house for her
pet mouse Fritzi. Throughout this delightful game of hide and
seek, viewers hear conversational Spanish introduced by Maria,
who has a special talent for speaking clearly and pronouncing
words with exactness. The DVD skillfully freshens up tried and
true tools such as live action with puppets, animation, children
and music to teach young viewers household words in Spanish.
