Teaching Gamer review Wed, 27 May 2009

As a parent and educator I've been dubious about these language games, yet my children seem keen to play them, so I found myself looking over their shoulders with this Spanish tutor. I was immediately impressed when the game directed them to play with the sound turned up, or if they couldn't have the volume up that they should use headphones. Hearing spoken language is one of the main ways that children pick up language skills, so to me this is vital in a teaching game like this.

The game opens with a test of your current abilities in the language which is useful as it enables the users to start at different levels. You are taught vocabulary on different topics and can then play a variety of mini-games in order to drum the vocabulary into your brain. I found these slightly mindless, but the children all seemed to really enjoy them, and the more you play, the more activities you unlock. You can adjust the mini games' difficulty level as well. As you access more vocabulary you move up the ranks in the game.
