The whole library, not a smaller edition

What’s inside for Spanish.

  • 1,000+ words in 16 categories — Animals, Food & Drink, Body, Home, Vehicles, Feelings, and ten more.
  • 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, Look at This!, How I Feel, Talk With Me, and five more.
  • Two native Spanish voices on every card — a woman’s and a man’s voice on every word and every phrase, all in the app, so nothing needs a signal.
  • Spanish comes with every other supported language — 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.

Why families open these cards

For the grandparents.

The reason a family opens the Spanish cards is usually not school or 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.

What’s on the cards

How the Spanish sounds and reads.

  • Both voices are Latin American. The woman’s voice and the man’s are Latin American Spanish, not Castilian. 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. 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. 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 menus stay English. Settings and progress screens too — 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.

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 supported language, 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 every supported language 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 right on the card, without losing your place, 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.
