The whole library, not a smaller edition

What’s inside for Spanish.

  • 1,000+ words in 16 categories — Animals, Food & Drink, Body, Home, Clothes, Toys, Vehicles, Nature & Weather, Places, People, Actions, Colors, Numbers, Shapes, Feelings, and Everyday Words.
  • Three age stages — First Words (0–24 months), Growing Words (2–3 years), Word Builder (3–5 years). You choose; the app never quietly moves your child on.
  • 500+ phrases in 9 themes — I Want & I Need, No, Stop & All Done, Look at This!, What’s Happening, Where Things Go, Me & My People, Let’s Play Together, How I Feel, and Talk With Me.
  • 3,094 Spanish clips — a woman’s and a man’s native voice on every word and every phrase, all bundled in the app so nothing needs a signal.
  • Spanish comes with the other seven — English, French, Portuguese, German, Italian, Korean and Russian are in the same app, at the same one price. Switch language on the card itself, without losing your place.
  • 75 words and 35 phrases free, forever — 25 words for each stage, all in Spanish, with both voices and their pictures.

Straight from the catalog

How the Spanish is written.

  • Both voices are Latin American. The woman’s voice and the man’s are Latin American Spanish, not Castilian, and no voice is ever shared between languages. Two separate takes of the same words, so a child hears them at two pitches; you choose which one plays, and you can change it mid-session.
  • Word cards show the bare noun. The card is perro and cocina, no article in front — the way the word arrives when a parent points at something and names it. Across the whole Spanish word list, exactly one card begins with an article. The article comes later, from you, when the word turns into a sentence.
  • The vocabulary leans to the widest Latin American usage. Juice is jugo, not zumo; potato is papa, not patata; peach is durazno, not melocotón. Where a word splits sharply by region we chose the version most families understand, not the one that is most correct in a single country. If your family says it differently, say it your way — the picture carries the meaning.
  • Phrases agree with the child in the picture. Spanish adjectives change with who is speaking, so the card showing a girl reads ¡Estoy enojada! while a card about a boy uses enojado. It is written card by card, not switched at runtime. When you say it about your own child, change the ending to fit them — the app is handing you the sentence, not correcting your version of it.
  • The chrome stays English. Menus, settings and progress screens are in English; what the language setting changes is the card — its text and its voice. So a parent who reads no Spanish can still run the app confidently, and the Spanish stays where the child is looking.

Why most families open these cards

For the grandparents.

The most common reason a family opens the Spanish cards is not school and not travel. It is a person.

A grandmother on a video call who has run out of things to say to a toddler who does not answer her. An uncle at a birthday table. A parent whose own Spanish went quiet around high school, who would like their child to keep more of it than they did.

That is a small, workable problem. A child who can name agua and perro, and finish a call with “Te quiero.”, is holding up their end of it. Nobody on that call is counting vocabulary. They are noticing that the child turned toward the voice and answered in the voice’s language.

A practical way to use this: pick five or six words your family actually says at home — the food, the pets, the people — and do those for a week. Then film ten seconds of your child saying them, and send it.

Questions parents ask

Spanish questions.

Which Spanish will we hear?

Latin American Spanish, in both the voices and the wording. The woman’s voice and the man’s are Latin American rather than Castilian, and the card text follows: jugo rather than zumo, papa rather than patata, durazno rather than melocotón. Where families differ, your family’s word is the right one to say out loud.

Is Spanish included in the free version?

Yes. The free set is 75 words and 35 phrases, and it is the same in every one of the eight languages, with both voices. No account, no trial clock, no ads. Spanish is never the paid add-on; the one $9.99 purchase opens the rest of both libraries in all eight languages at once.

We speak two languages at home. Can the app do both?

Yes. Language is set per child profile, and you can switch it from the language pill without leaving the card, so the same picture can be leche and then milk. You can keep up to four child profiles, each with its own language and its own progress.

Everything else — teaching a language you don’t speak, screen time for a baby, what the $9.99 unlocks — is answered on the FAQ.
