Spanish Colors
© 2013 Little Pim
Designed to offer multiple-choice style Spanish language practice on color-related words, this language app features clear but sugary narration and multiple-choice problems that don't always make sense. For example, you are asked to "find the red balloon" from a set that has no balloons. There is very little content (just four screens), to the point that we thought we were looking at a free-trial. The content that is provided is extremely didactic (over scripted) and there's no real narrative glue to tie the problems into a meaningful context. Despite being sold as an ebook, the storyline can be summarized as "a panda was looking for colors." The Little Pim apps were created by Kiwi apps using QBook technology, based on the work of Paul Pimsleur, the creator of the Pimsleur Method -- a language learning programs for adults. It is one of a series. Hopefully the others have a better design and offer more content.
