This utterly charming language learning app uses kids' familiarity with real-life daily routines such as cooking, cleaning, washing, and ironing as a tool to help them learn English, Spanish, and Chinese. The onscreen animals have a uniquely humorous quality that stems, in part, from their ever-changing facial expressions and physical movements. They react in often surprising ways (wild shakes of the head, comically imploring looks, bursts of color from their mouths after they eat . . .) that evoke glee and laughter in the student. That non-verbal communication not only holds kids' attention, it is a key element of how the app teaches. Children absorb the narrated content (spoken entirely in the language being learned) by connecting it with the visuals. The app's teaching level can be matched to the child's age, and parents can opt to receive reports on their child's progress. This is a highly distinctive app that children enjoy returning to again and again.
