App Description

How do kids really learn Spanish? Not by hearing dozens of individual words! To learn Spanish, kids need focused language, full sentences, meaningful context and lots of repetition. Spanish Playground apps use these key principles ensure kids truly master structures and vocabulary so they can communicate.

Many apps present kids with hundreds of Spanish words and the English translation. Even memorizing all those Spanish words, children cannot put together or understand a single sentence! Research also shows that translation is not the most effective way to learn Spanish.

Spanish Playground creates effective learning apps for kids. Simple sentences make Spanish easy to understand, so kids learn Spanish without translation. The Spanish words are presented in full sentences, with a verb form that children can use in their daily lives. The number of words in each app is intentionally limited so that children master the vocabulary. The entertaining games provide sufficient repetition for children to hear and absorb correct pronunciation as the meaning of the words is reinforced.

Spanish Playground educational games actively engage children with the language. In the colorful video, they tap to magically produce the syllables of key Spanish words. In the sequence game, they recreate a pattern of beautiful photos as they hear the native speaker audio. In the syllable game, kids create Spanish words using the audio and photos as a reference. Kids can also use the free printable picture cards available on Spanish Playground to play Spanish games with the new words at home or school.
