KidSpeak
© 1998 Transparent Language, Inc.
This likable set of ten programs provides a pleasant introduction to foreign languages. In each program, kids are introduced to a cartoon friend who speaks the new language and leads them through 40 multi level games and songs. An immersion approach is used to teach 700 words in each language, and you have your choice of Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Hebrew, Japanese, Mandarin Chinese, Korean and Indonesian! Content covers the alphabet, greetings, animals, colors, numbers, time, simple sentences, and more. Traditional games like dot to dot, concentration and tic tac toe are used to teach the language. Weaknesses include no record-keeping and non-interruptible animations.
