  • Amazing app!

    Sr. Diehl

    As a Spanish educator for 15 years and a native English speaker who’s been studying the language for 25, I purchased this app for my daughter. The apps naturalistic approach is exactly the best way that humans learn a second language. What I love most about this app is that it introduces grammar, syntax, and sentence structure in a natural, wholistic manner without “teaching” grammar and doesn’t just focus on the singular vocab word in each example. The animations and the characters in the app are second to none. The creators didn’t miss a thing. Auditory input is accompanied by visual cues to help the user make real connections with their learning, and its fun. I’ll never forget the first time my daughter touched a letter and it began to dance and sing its Spanish sound. We were tickled and we had a lot of fun with it. We began to explore more of the many, many words featured in the app and we can’t put it down. I wish I had thought of this. Well done Originator! I’ll be using this app in my classroom with my kids for fun to reinforce learning with the alphabet, look for cognates, and to facilitate our conversations about...yes, grammar, sentence structure and syntax : )

    Wow! It really means a lot to us to hear this kind of praise, as we worked hard to perfect the natural approach to teaching you are describing. Thanks for the positive feedback! We really appreciate it.

  • Good but could be better

    My son plays the Spanish immersion version and I’m glad to see a version of our beloved Endless Alphabet in Spanish as my son is learning both languages. However, Endless Spanish has room for improvement. There are some errors in the Spanish, such as showing “ll” as two “L”s rather than a separate letter (in Spanish LL is its own letter), and the voice does not pronounce the letter “r” correctly. Also a lot of the sentences are really blatantly translated from English and don’t feel 100% authentic in Spanish. I would suggest making a separate immersion app that is developed IN SPANISH, rather than developing it in English and creating a translated/bilingual version of that content. However in the overall scheme of things there are few good Spanish apps out there so this is a definite improvement over other content out there (thank you for at least creating an immersion version)!

  • The best but could be better, for toddlers.

    The biggest flaw I’ve seen with these spanish apps for toddlers is they try to implement grammar, spelling, and writing. This not how we learn as children and it obstructs learning. Fortunately, this app does not implement these more advance levels of language. I wish I could see more interaction, like give me the ball, give me the milk and the child will learn more by natural consequence as in the real world. It would be best if I could take my child to a spanish speaking country for long periods of time, but until then I’ll have to use this app and wait for a better one that teaches spanish more intuitively.

  • Home Run

    Put my 4yo son in Spanish Emerson summer camp 2 days a week again this summer. He liked the people last year but i struggled to get him to connect (and internalize) the language last year. I speak a little Spanish but am by no means fluent. I found this app the other day and it's a COMPLETE HOME RUN! He played it 2 times for twenty minutes each today at his own initiative. He calls it "that thing that I love to do on your phone in Spanish." I feel like he's also more into me using Spanish with him since we started using it but I might be projecting a bit.

  • More words please!

    My son, who is on the autism spectrum, loves all of the “Endless” apps. This is probably his favorite one, and like all the other Originator apps it’s wonderful! However, I just wish the Spanish app had more words. We have purchased all the packs for nearly all the apps and also subscribe to the Endless Learning app. But I feel the Spanish app doesn’t offer as many words as the English apps. Please consider adding more words on a regular basis. Also, are other apps in other languages coming out? Like Endless French? Or Endless Japanese?

    Thanks for your feedback. We'll let the development team know that you're interested in new words in Endless Spanish! To answer your question, we unfortunately don't have further language apps planned at this time, but this doesn't rule out the possibility of us creating more in the future!

  • Words disappeared

    Eggiers

    I bought this months ago and some of the words we had available have now disappeared and the app wants us to pay again to access. Oddly enough, my wife’s ipad still has all the words (even though she just got the app through my purchase through family share)...but she never updates apps so I’m wondering if a recent update took away words.So either there is a technical flaw that makes words disappear of this company takes away part of the product and try’s to make you pay for it again.Developers, you have a chance to respond to this and tell me what is wrong. Otherwise in a few days I’ll call apple and tell them to credit the original charge and I’ll be done with your company.
