Learning Games - FabuLingua

My 9 year old daughter has no prior Spanish experience, and she has already learned so much! There are so many layers of engagement written into this program that seem to approach all different types and ages of learners. The lessons are well-paced, and children of a variety of ages have opportunities to uncover more sophistication in all of the embedded vocabulary and usage hidden through the program. There are some games to check on your child’s overall comprehension in each lesson. And my daughter really enjoys the feature where she can practice her oral skills and record herself reading the stories in small chunks following the narrator. The story narrator has a clear voice with lovely pronunciation that seems to inspire my daughter to perfect her accent. The stories are very sweet with great illustrations and animations, and my daughter often laughs out loud at some of the characters and occurrences in the stories as she is learning. I highly recommend this educational app for children in a wide age range. This would also be a fantastic app for homeschoolers looking to incorporate Spanish into their curriculum.

Our 4 year old is in a Spanish immersion daycare, but we speak English at home. Often, we’d try to read her Spanish/English books at bedtime, but she’s complain that she didn’t want the Spanish... only English - the traditional book medium seemed too boring and we, her parents, are too closely associated with English for her to accept our trying to teach her Spanish. This app has given us a beautifully-designed, engaging way to meet her where she lives, in a digital format with fun characters that she spends hours playing with and learning from. It takes elements of the dress-up type apps she likes (but that are fairly mindless) and adds both an age-appropriate storyline and valuable language acquisition. Now that we’ve gotten through all of the sections, we’re excited to see what new stories are on the horizon!

We were introduced to the beta test of Fabulingua while our kids were in Spain this summer and it made our Spanish language study so much more interesting and fun. The stories are adorable and engaging and the illustrations are beautiful. The best part for my children, 8 and 11, was that the magical translations makes it easy to process sentence structure and how it varies from English to Spanish. Storytelling in this way helped them start “thinking” in Spanish. I’m excited to read more books with my family.

We found out about the FabuLingua beta and it’s mission, and definitely wanted to give it a try with our children. We have always wanted them to learn a second language but there was never any interest from them at an early age. The characters and story curriculum have our children super engaged...and it is now a part of our daily lives. Keep all the great content coming!

We love this app — So many visuals with super engaging stories! Its hard to find bilingual apps with actual stories. Also, it’s great to have an app that our 2yr old can do on his own, or we can interact with as a family. There are so many visuals that we can point out, or keep repeating at his own pace. Can’t wait for more stories as we grow into a bilingual family!
