Review: Little Pim Portuguese Digital Download

Eva and I have reviewed a number of products from Little Pim. We’ve checked out DVDs, apps and now we’ve taken a look at a digital download. Specifically, a digital download of Little Pim Brazilian Portuguese. What I liked about this was that I could download the content and then add it to iTunes so that Eva and I could work with it on the iPad. We’ve got a ton of DVDs around the house but having the video right on the iPad was so much more convenient and takes up no space on the shelf. Here is a preview video below.

The video is 35 minutes long and there are a variety of episodes to choose from. We choose the eating and drinking episode because, to me that seemed like the most useful episode for us to work on. I don’t think I would have gone with Portuguese though if given the choice again because Eva is learning Spanish in school and while Portuguese is similar to Spanish, it is really not. Eva is learning Spanish in school and she really enjoys it. I know a little bit of Spanish from when I was in school and can talk to her a bit in that language. I could see her getting a bit confused as we watched the Portuguese video together.

Don’t get me wrong, the video was done very well like all of the Little Pim products that we have tried. Very high quality and the reinforcement of ideas and concepts with images and repetition was excellent. I just think that our brains were trying to fit Spanish into the Portuguese that we were hearing. I’d certainly recommend the Little Pim products like the apps and DVDs and digital downloads to introduce your children to a new language.

Disclosure: We received a digital download of Little Pim Brazilian Portuguese to watch and review. Opinions are 100% my own.

Tree is Trimmed


Photo-A-Day #2811

Quiet day at the house today. The tree is still standing and the kittens are leaving it alone for the most part. We are also running interference on Andrew’s attempts at the tree.

We’ve discovered that Andrew loves the stackable blocks that were Eva’s. We stack them and he destroys the stack. With Allison he smashes the stack and then covers his ears and shrieks with laughter. Last night I stacked about 15 blocks while he wasn’t looking. He turned around, his eyes went wide and he tore across the room to knock the stack to pieces. It is hilarious. I’ve got to get a good video of it.
