Use earphones for sound to work / Greats for adults studying Spanish vocab
love venmo
I’m an college student reviewing Spanish. This is a great app for refreshing or learning basic vocabulary. I think the problem with most other apps that attempt to teach you Spanish is that they teach by translating Spanish words, for example “libro” =“book.” What I love about this app is it just shows you a picture of “el libro” so you associate the spanish vocabulary word with the object or verb rather than the english translation. On top of all this, games are pretty fun—which can get repetitive because it all involves flash card matching, but the new vocab at each level makes it feel new. The only thing is the sound doesn't work unless I use earphones. I use Bluetooth ear phones, so I’ll need to try it out with the regular plug-in ones.
Great app for preschoolers
velasquez77
I give this app five stars because they let you try a couple levels before you actually commit and for the simple fact you can turn off the background music. I have other Spanish learning apps for my 3 year old twins that are just as good, but have distracting background music. As for the other aspects of this app it has great flash cards for each level and the games are engaging. It is just the right level of learning for younger children...not to difficult they don’t get the concept, not so easy they lose interest. It has all the beginning vocabulary you need for a preschool child. I looked through a lot of apps before I went with this one and you get a lot of bang for your buck. I have one app I spent more than twice the amount and my twins just didn’t seem to be picking up the vocabulary. In my opinion it was just to distracting and busy...instead of learning the words all they wanted to do was push the little blocks around the screen and with the music in the background I didn’t feel they were actually focusing on the actual word being pronounced. I know this review is a little lengthy but I know I rely on the opinions of others to help me decide before I purchase. So hope this helps.
Spanish Speaker Approved!
TrilingualMama
I speak fluent Spanish and its is so important to me that my children learn the language for family and future purposes. Since they will learn English from growing up in the US, I do not want them spending too much time on English activities, especially on the electronic devices. Often times I don't feel language apps are authentic enough and the Spanish does not seem native. This app is wonderful! Design, content, and variety are all very impressive. I like that they offer flash cards (electronic and printable), songs with music videos, and excellent visuals! They did their research and found very efficient ways in e- teaching! My two year old (almost three) flew through the demo in less than a week and so I decided to purchase the full version (my first time doing so for my children). This app is a STEAL for what it teaches early learners. My American husband is getting a kick out of it also!
Better for 6-8 year olds
SpanishTchr
I got this app for my 4-year-old. He likes the flash cards and the first two games for each topic, but the third game is too hard for him because it goes too fast. He loses stars and gets upset. Aside from that it’s an ok app. The games are exactly the same for each topic, just with different vocabulary words. Eventually that part might get boring. Each flash card has a picture and the word. The words don’t help him since he can’t read yet, but it would be helpful for people who can read. He benefits from hearing each card read aloud and I ask him to repeat. It has also been good for him to practice words in English that he doesn’t know yet because we do it together and I tell him what it is in English. For example, he learned “wheelchair” and “walker” because he saw the pictures and when we played the games I told him what to pick using the English word. There are a few short videos related to a few topics but they’re not that great.
Added new feature to track Daily Streaks. Also added minor UX improvements, fixed bug with music videos not playing. We now include music videos with initial app install.
