JumpStart Spanish

You’ve probably heard that children have a much higher propensity and retention rate for Language Learning than adults. Some studies say that if you learn multiple languages at a very young age, you have a much better chance of remembering them over the long term. Programs like JumpStart Spanish are designed especially for children in preschool, kindergarten, and the first grade to make the most of this aptitude.

JumpStart Spanish is easy to install, and it installs Apple QuickTime for the animation features of the program. As it can also be used for learning English, learners choose the language they want to learn and the language in which they want their lessons conducted. Once finished, these software starts itself and students are introduced to the spunky animated rabbit who serves as guide through the lessons.

The main page of this program is a “clubhouse” that includes doorways into the fun, colorful, and musical lessons contained in the program. Kids can click on different rooms in a dollhouse, for example, and then learn the words for all the articles inside. Children can also click on the television and watch different conversational videotapes that teach them how to say “What time is it?” and other useful phrases.

This software will teach this vocabulary and these phrases in both English and Spanish, helping children recognize words they already know and what they sound like in this new language. Children can learn at their own pace and, when ready, increase the difficulty level of the lessons.

JumpStart Spanish uses music, friendly cartoon characters, and familiar items and situations to relate to small children and teach them a new language. Moreover, if you’re not happy with JumpStart Spanish, Knowledge Adventure offers a 90-day 100 percent satisfaction guarantee. So, if you’re looking to turn your child on to foreign language and make it fun and alive, JumpStart Spanish is an excellent choice. –Kendra Hayden

JumpStart Spanish On Reviews From Customer Who Bought

By Senora Gose (Bryan, Texas)
Each year, I’ve had several students want to join my Spanish classes in January, meaning, after a semester of classes has already passed. I am always hesitant to allow this, because the new students are so far behind the other students in their Spanish speaking ability. I know now, that if the parents say “We do Jumpstart Spanish,” then most likely, they will be able to join in quite easily!

The accent is good, the teaching methods are effective, and the software runs smoothly and keeps the child engaged. Motivation is KEY for language retention.

The new students do not, of course, have the breadth of vocabulary when they miss the first semester, but they are able to join in conversations and games without feeling stunted in their basic understanding of Spanish.

I personally prefer one-on-one learning, or group (the interaction between humans just can’t be reproduced by a computer, no matter how good it is), but as far as software goes, I do recommend this as a good, solid computer learning tool for Spanish as a second language.
