在我買迪士尼美語後,
好同意大家的想法:佢地D顧問吾係好掂.
不過我的目的只係套教材,
所以吾多理佢地(教育顧問).   

Totally agreed.  I only trust the philiosophy of DWE itself, not any so called consultant.  Afterall noone can replace us parents in educating our kids.  I only strive to use reputable tools to assist me to be a better and more helpful mom.

1. On education consultants:

Some of my friends are / have been such consultants.  Try putting yourself in their shoes.  They don't have any basic salary.  And they need to pay for the demo materials themselves.  They even need to buy the contact list from the World Family to make a cold call, no matter it's success of not.  Afterall, they're try to make a living out of quite harsh system.

2. On the DVD

I have a Singaporean set of VCD and books, which are the same as the HK version as far as I understand, just lacking playalong, singalong and listenalong.  The main course, that 12 lessons, are the same.  I found it excellent. They're by far the best English material I ever come across.  I can see that hugh efforts have been paid on the design and production.  It has been arranged in an order that one can learn English easily and gradually and happily and unconsiously.  My 4 years old girl can recite the first 6 books and uses many of the phases in real life! I got 3 children and they sing and play happily together whenever they listen to the songs which is easy to remember and sing and most importantly, it'll make you happy whenever singing it.  And the book, video and songs are complement to each other so well that one can really learn without paying any effort. I also got Noddy and see English Times but all my support goes to Disney.  I'll recommend it wholeheartedly.  My only hesitation is money.  40000 is too expensive.  I wouldn't buy it or I couldn't afford it at that price.  Luckily there's a Singaporean version.

Hope that'll give you a balance of view on this subject matter.

Cheers.

Personally, i do not have any harsh feelings on the consultants.  I understand i cannot simply rely on them to turn my son into a native english speaker so i did  not expect too much from them.  i just think noone can, and should replace me and my husband in this.  I believe in DWE cos it gives us a chance to play, spend fun time and grow with my son, oh well, last but not least, teach him english as well .

my husband really cares about Jayden but i can observe that sometimes he doesnt know how to spend time with him.  its the problem of a lot of males i guess, cos they may not be as creative when dealing with kids hehe... u know sometimes we spend time with kids by doing silly things, singing silly songs etc.  i must admit that DWE gives my hubby opportunities to play game, sing song and spend valuable and educational time with our son.
