Kids join Carlos and Ana on a shopping trip in this simple but effective Spanish program that teaches clothing words. Six units immerse the child in the language and feature interactive dialogues, exercises and activities. Study begins as children participate in scenes depicting the purchasing of articles of clothing in various stores. Kids must listen to and "read" Spanish right from the start- but instant translation assistance is just one click away. Additional features include voice recording, instant translation and some minimal record keeping. We found the program very straightforward and effective. This would work well in both home and classroom settings. Note that this program is one of a complete series that teaches Spanish.
