GBMostly Pros, and a few Cons Pros: I love the immersion method, the ability to navigate back and forth through different word groups and the ability to download on multiple tablets and use the little kid mode for my toddler while still having access to big kid mode for my older child. Cons: Ok so the movies zooming around and changing channels are kind of distracting, and the ongoing music is annoying. I do want my kids to get repetition of Spanish language but the music and dizzying video is over the top. My kids won't use it more than 10 minutes at a time. The other negative aspect is just the price. I can see a lot went into developing the system, but I'd love to see a significantly lower price for year membership.

PTDinolingo language learning site is an excellent tool to teach languages Dinolingo language learning site is an excellent tool to teach languages. My kids (5 and 8 years old) are really enjoying, especially the games. The videos are short, direct and with fine pronunciation. The offer of less common languages is really good (in our case, Greek), as it was difficult for us to find physical classroom learning. As new features, this platform could have: i) Different games, besides what is being offered (memory cards, sound/image check); ii) Extra games where it would be possible for different users (at least of the same subscription) to play between them, as a contest and as a partnership.

GRFun for Kids! We purchased the Greek language for an English and French speaking 5 year old. We've been using it for about 4 months. My daughter would skip quickly through some of the listening activities and I thought she wasn't learning the information. But when it came to the testing part she did very well. I think the sound quality and pronunciation is very good! My daughter really enjoys all the activities and is really encouraged by the sound and checkmark when she gets the correct answer. She loves the memory card game so that visual exercise is perfect for her. She loves the whole visual concept and the characters! I was a little disappointed that I couldn't use the app on my laptop.

GBI’m learning Portuguese on Duolingo but… I’m learning Portuguese on Duolingo but after several months in and a purchased 1 year subscription I am told that it isn’t in fact Portuguese from Portugal I’m learning but Brazilian Portuguese. No sign of European Portuguese available any time soon either. Duolingo is very effective though. It makes practice fun.

GBI'm delighted with my purchase of… I'm delighted with my purchase of Dinolingo in Latin. I bought it with the hope of introducing Latin to my 4-year-old, making it easier for her in the future. She absolutely loves watching it, especially the dinosaurs and songs. Dancing along to the music keeps her engaged. I highly recommend this program to others with young children.
