Here's a Spanish teacher like you've never seen before.
By using a Sound Blaster, it recites words in English and
Spanish as clear and concise as you'll find anywhere. In
fact when I first loaded it, it startled me as I wasn't
expecting a voice as clear as it was. Here is truly an
educational program that will indeed teach your child basic
Spanish.
Installation was a simple procedure using the included
INSTALL program. Once installed, all you need to do is load
the program and a very colorful menu appears. You'll have 9
choices. Most of the program is aimed at very young
children. In fact, they don't need to be able to read to use
the program. But, you will want to use it with them. You'll
have a good time with it as well.
"Keyboard Banger 123" - When the child presses a number, it
will be spoken in English and Spanish. There is also a nice
kaleidoscope displayed while it's waiting for a number to be
pressed.
"Your Phone No. Is" - This part of EARLY SPANISH teaches
your child his phone number and an EMERGENCY number. These
are entered by you using the "Adult Control" explained below.
"Find The Number" - The computer will recite a number and the
child tries to find it on the keyboard. Here, there are
encouraging words even when they get it wrong.
"Easy Counting" - This is a little game where the child
counts the colorful balloons.
There is also an Addition Game, Subtraction Games, and a
simple drawing program. In every drill or game, all the
words are spoken in English and Spanish.
"Adult Control" - With this option you can turn
Spanish/English ON/OFF, change the phone numbers, or turn the
Kaleidoscope ON/OFF. It even tells you how to record your
own voice for inclusion in the program.
The Shareware version of EARLY SPANISH teaches numbers only.
However, when you register, you'll receive the ADVANCED
version with the Alphabet, words, reading, spelling, and a
FREE program. With a modest fee of $29, I'd call this a
pretty good deal! Even if you aren't interested in the
program itself, at least check out the excellent voices in
EARLY SPANISH. They're truly amazing.
