WASHINGTON, Nov. 4 /PRNewswire/ -- Whistlefritz, which produces the
popular Spanish for Beginners series of children's Spanish immersion DVDs,
announced today that its latest DVD release, Adentro y Afuera (Inside &
Out), has received multiple national awards, including a Parents' Choice
Silver Award from the prestigious Parents' Choice Foundation. Since its
release, Adentro y Afuera (Inside & Out) has become one of the most honored
children's DVDs of the year.
"Whistlefritz continues on its mission to bring the gift of learning
Spanish to children and their families," said founder and CEO Heidi Stock.
"The many organizations that have honored Adentro y Afuera hold very high
bars and have stringent standards, so we are grateful to receive this type

In addition to the recent Parents' Choice Silver Award, Adentro y
Afuera has also won the following awards:
-- iParenting Media "Outstanding Products for 2009"
-- The National Parenting Center 2009 Seal of Approval
-- Dr. Toy's Best Play and Learn Vacation Products
-- The Dove Foundation's Family-Approved Seal

Available nationwide, Spanish for Beginners: Adentro y Afuera
seamlessly blends live action with colorful animation and engaging
characters, including the vibrant teacher Maria who guides children as they
navigate the lively world of Whistlefritz. Ninos and ninas will be saying
Hola! to Spanish in no time as the series' use of stories, music, play, and
dance make it an invaluable and entertaining teaching tool. Through the use
of proven language immersion methods -- where kids learn Spanish by hearing
and speaking it without any English translation -- Spanish for Beginners
stimulates, educates, and allows kids to quickly and easily make the
language all their own.
Founded in 2006, Whistlefritz was started by a mom who wanted to teach
her own children Spanish. Frustrated by the lack of high-quality Spanish
immersion programs, she decided to create her own Spanish DVDs and CDs for
children. And so Whistlefritz was born and two award-winning DVD titles,
Vamos a Jugar (Let's Play) and Los Animales (Animals), were released.
In Spanish for Beginners: Adentro y Afuera, fun-loving kids join
teacher Maria and her friend, Fritzi the mouse, as they learn all about the
house, including the names of rooms and household objects. The whole gang
then ventures outside to explore the playground while they learn Spanish.
While the program is designed for children ages 2-7, the DVD includes a
translation guide for parents who may also be learning Spanish for the
first time, making Whistlefritz perfect for the whole family!
