La primera vez que juegue el juego se me hiso muy fácil y divertido avanzar a los nuevos niveles porque se español e inglés, pero al jugar en francés se me hiso muy difícil avanzar porque nose el idioma. Siento que el juego está muy divertido y te pone a pensar mucho y a recordar los sonidos de las palabras si no sabes el lenguaje. Al jugar este juego muchas veces el usuario aprende más el lenguaje y desarrolla su mente en las escenas. Cuando mi hermana y e hermano jugaron el juego, la escenas que eran más difícil fue la del carro, porque el carro sigue manejando y a veces el usuario no tiene tiempo para racionar. Algo que me impresiono fue cuando usaron la esponja para limpiar lo sucio con el dedo meneándola esponja hacia riba y abajo para quitar la suciedad con el dedo. También cuando el juego le decía al usuario; “agarra la leche y dársela al bebe” mi hermana de seis años agarba la leche y se la daba al bebe en vez de ponerla en el círculo. Algunas sugerencias para mejor el juego es hacer más niveles con la esponja y la brocha, siento que es divertido cuando el usuario toca la pantalla con el dedo como si lo estuviera limpiando en la vida real. También sería divertido que cada vez que agarras un premio, salga una escena con el premio para felicitar al usuario. En conclusión el juego está muy divertido y es un juego que no solo te diviertes per usas tu mente para aprender un idioma diferente sin ayuda como es en la vida real.
Clever, fun way to improve language skills

Very cool app. This is perfect for my level because I know some Spanish vocabulary but have trouble understanding spoken Spanish. All the words come out in the context of the game so I can practice listening to normal spanish speaking.
Good fun

Easy to follow, good way to learn french. Make sure you look through the words well before each level, the games are funner that way.
Great Idea!

I have been using Duolingo and Memrise to teach myself Spanish. These apps have helped me understand written Spanish but my listening skills needed more help than these apps provide. This program is genius in helping the user with understanding the language as it is spoken as well as helping the learner to think in the language being learned rather than translating, which is the tendency when one is a beginner. There is one fix and two improvements I would like to see in the future; the app does occasionally crash in the higher levels for me, it's a minor issue but I hope there is a fix for that. And I would love to see more levels and languages offered in the future, a peek at the developer's website indicates that this is in the works. After sampling the app in it's first rendition, I would gladly pay for expanded levels! I am an adult over 50 in age and this is a very useful app for me but obviously this would be fun for a child who is learning a second language. I look forward to the continued development of this app.

The original version of this program program exploits the fascination with video/computer games in the service of teaching a foreign language. The format is highly creative. It has excellent art work and attention grabbing and amusing cartoons and graphics. The structure involves exercises and games where the student is introduced to a basic vocabulary and then applies that vocabulary in responding to commands related to realistic everyday situations. The upshot is a format that makes learning a language fun. The exercises move in a way that makes word for word translation impossible. The student is operating and thinking in the language. The exercises become progressively more challenging without being intimidating. It is so much fun that one does not want to quit playing and learning. But the most impressive feature of the program is its flexibility. Although currently limited to use in teaching three language(English, Spanish, French), it could easily be extended to the teaching of any language. The original program is revolutionary; but this new version is even better than the original. The new added level ("Baby 2") is really cute and fun. A ton of new enhancements make the product more user friendly than the original. It's clear that direct observation of users in progress and user feedback have made an outstanding program even better.

Learning by doing makes this a powerful language learning tool. My eight-grader breezed through it this summer and is now feeling confident about high school Spanish. My sixth grader was mostly in it for the game and dug the learning by dong aspect. Fun, engaging, deep learning. Useful for K-12 teachers or learners of any age.
Cool way to learn a language

This is a great way to learn a new language. It plays like a game but introduces new material each stage. Easy storyline to follow and you learn by doing, as you play. Looks like the main updates are in the new storyline and a new episode. the “baby” episodes are cute, good way of learning vocabulary for feelings.

Great idea for the new language student--both young and old. Finally a real learning challenge that's also a delight for the senses.
