 Don't waste your time or money! September 20, 2009
Mark A. Turner
I speak fluent spanish and I was looking for something fun for my daughter to enjoy after school. I had high hopes for this game but it was a complete disappointment. The game is glitchy and has no 'help' or 'clue' feature and if it happens to glitch (which it has many times for us) you can't go back to do that section over. We've had to start the ENTIRE game over several times. The most recent problem with it is that it's not allowing us to pass a certain part of the game because we have to 'translate' a sentence from english to spanish correctly. It is quite simple and multiple choice. Well... we answer it correctly and it tells us that we are incorrect. In helping her, we have even tried the incorrect answers in hopes of getting past the problem. No such luck, it tells us that we are wrong. Always. As for the game, the character spends more of her time pacing and looking for objects that go with the story (which isn't even that interesting) rather than actual learning... Don't waste your money. Even if your copy isn't glitchy, it's boring. I was really hoping to be able to give a great review here. =(

I do not recommend this software; especially for younger children. Some of the sections are very fast moving and younger children can't click on the moving letters fast enough. Other sections of the software are exceedingly simple and therefore boring to children. A couple of the story games have almost no spanish integrated into them. When the software does use spanish, the word is quickly used once but there is no repetition so if the child misses the word, they're out of luck.

We have tried installing & using this program on two different Macs, both of which are within the published system requirements. It does not work and we will be pursuing a refund. I wanted a fun and educational program for my kids.
 Great software, some technical problems July 31, 2007

I got this for my 6-yr-old son as a compliment to the summer homeschool program I am doing with him. It is EXCELLENT. He loves it and has learned a lot of Spanish. He also loves playing it over and over (he's won it twice now) to learn more words, and soon will be playing it in French. There are tons of interactive games and activities that are great for kids of all ages.
However, I could only give this product 4 stars because of the technical problems I've experienced. When trying to do the full install, the program would not finish installation. I finally had to give up and do the partial install. In addition, the program will often hang or not load properly which causes in-game glitches or having to forcibly terminate the program. I recommend saving your game regularly.
 Excellent practice for young children! May 19, 2006

I bought this for my god-daughter after buying Mia's Science Adventure. I have never been so impressed with a companies product before. You can learn both Spanish AND French on the same CD. The graphics are amazing, the adventure is stupendous and now Lily (my god-daughter) is learning Spanish. Her level is above all her classmates and she's even started conversing with a Mexican girl in our neighbourhood. Well worth your money.
