Good idea but the ads...

This is a great idea, and I am ok with ads on free apps, but an app to learn typing, that will probably be used by kids, that opens with "Russian love match" is ridiculous.

This has got to be the worst app for free or money. I tried the English and the Spanish and I was at a loss as to what she was saying for many of the words. Was everyone at Apple drunk when this mess was submitted. Plus it should at least give the correct answer. Unbelievable how slopped together this potentially great idea turned out.
