“This interactive introduction to Spanish, features contemporary stories of four typical Latin American children. The stories are illustrated with animated watercolor paintings, and Spanish spoken by actual, Latin Americans from the countries and areas where the stories are set. It includes illustrated and spoken vocabulary, cultural notes and facts, photographs, games and other activities to encourage use and retention of the language. Unlike other software for teaching Spanish to children, it focuses on everyday practical communication, with respect for children through its focus on quality. It’s not silly, ‘cartoony’ or cheaply done like many of its competitors.” — Craig S.
“…you have a fine product that I would not only recommend but hope to use in our language instruction programs. Congratulations!” — Larry G.
“…very useful for learning Spanish. I find I have more knowledge of Spanish than I was even aware of, and this game helps me expand my vocabulary and understanding of sentence structure.” — Jennifer S.
“The cultural diversity features are very unique and useful. It helps children realize there are others …who do everyday things differently than they do. My three kids liked playing the games …and were very excited about them (which tells me that [the] games were interesting and engaging)!” —Aleksandr C.
“…what really sets it apart is its unique use of American Sign Language as an aid in learning Spanish. Gesturing …is an important part of how we first learn language. Here spoken vocabulary is combined with ASL video clips. Although not an end in itself, it’s a great introduction if a student wants to take ASL further…
“Designed for non-Spanish-speaking children, I believe adults who want to learn Spanish or just ‘brush-up,’ will find it engaging and helpful too. I can also vouch for the content as being wholesome.” — Michael S.
“I liked knowing that the illustrations are of places that actually exist and the differences in accent [of the narrators] added authenticity and increased the sense of quality. Very engaging because it was easy to use, and the artwork was interesting …I really liked being able to access the pronunciations so easily. That is a definite plus!” — Cleo Y.
