As a native Mandarin speaker, I give this DVD a C+ at best. This is definitely not a professionally produced DVD. The young man on the cover is the lead actor in the DVD, and he speaks Mandarin with Southern accents. It would be like learning to speak English with a teacher from Brooklyn or India, not an ideal choice. (I really don't mean to offend anyone from Brooklyn or India,it is just an analogy, my apology.) After watching the DVD for about 15 mins, I promptly returned the DVD I borrowed from the library without showing it to my child. You may have better luck teaching your child to speak Mandarin with Mandarin versions of cartoons such as Pororo, Noddy, or Pocoyo.
