No – Bilingual Child: Learn Spanish Review

Please critically read the positive reviews. Just because something is "fun" and "easy" doesn't mean it's effective. I am a 44 year old man and downloaded this app for free when it was featured in "apps gone free", so I have absolutely no reason to rate this app poorly because I feel I was cheated or whatnot. That said, if you pay a single cent for this app, you are being swindled. Within seconds of starting, I completed two levels by simply dragging the image of a thing I was familiar with into a box. One character calls the thing by its name in English, another character says its name in Spanish. Regardless of whether you've understood the Spanish term, as long as you correctly move the image into the box, the app assumes you've "learned" the Spanish term and you move on. In the two seconds it took me to advance through the first level, I'd already completely forgotten the Spanish word for "cat," because there was no incentive to remember it. Simply dragging the image portraying the word to its place implied that its Spanish counterpart had been learned, but I was simply relying on its English term and corresponding image in order to "win" that level ("cat" + picture of a cat = I know the Spanish word for cat). It's a worthless app that will only give the illusion of "learning."
