Appealing Pokemon-style graphics combined with twelve solid activities make this ESL (English as a Second Language) program a real winner. Designed to help children aged two to seven learn English, the program can be toggled between English, Japanese and Chinese. Activities present vocabulary words covering colors, numbers and body parts and there's a section of the CD that simulates conversation, allowing children to practice and record their English. Our only complaint is that there's no sign-in or record-keeping function.
