Product Description
Recent child development research indicates children are most receptive to learning languages at a young age. JumpStart Spanish gives kids the benefit of exposure to a second language while they are still learning their native tongue. Simple, age-appropriate activities introduce Spanish basics, including words, phrases, numbers, and songs.
Amazon.com Review
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 iJumpStart Spanish/i are designed especially for children in preschool, kindergarten, and the first grade to make the most of this aptitude.p iJumpStart Spanish/i is easy to install, and it installs Apple QuickTime for the animation features of the program. As iJumpStart Spanish/i 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, iJumpStart Spanish/i starts itself and students are introduced to the spunky animated rabbit who serves as guide through the lessons.p 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.p iJumpStart Spanish/i 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.p iJumpStart Spanish/i 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 iJumpStart Spanish/i, 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, iJumpStart Spanish/i is an excellent choice. I--Kendra Hayden/I
Amazon.com Product Description
In IJumpStart Spanish,/I children, ages 3-6, join Mr. Hopsalot from IJumpStart Kindergarten/I on a special visit to his clubhouse, high atop a large oak tree. When kids arrive in the tree house, they realize Mr. Hopsalot's affinity for the Spanish language and its cultures. As they explore the many items Mr. Hopsalot has in his hangout, children are exposed to Spanish and English translations of common words and phrases and learn about Spanish culture in a fun and educational way. The product also includes a toggle that allows Spanish-speaking families to use IJumpStart Spanish/I to introduce their child to the English language.

recommeded to my Grandson Trevor for help in school September 5, 2008
I purchased this for myself, an over 55 traveler, for help before a trip where we went to Spain and later to Mexico. I did not need a conversational Spanish class, I just wanted to be able to "get-by", and time was of the essence. IT is wonderful. This year one of my grandsons has a mandatory Spanish class. They just moved to NC from NH (where Spanish was not required in middle school), and he is having problems picking up the language from scratch. I KNOW THIS WILL HELP. It is fun and actually makes you want to learn and earn "aquarium items".br /Thank youbr / Grammy
 Great learning tool! November 2, 2007
Jumpstart Spanish is fun for the children while they learn Spanish. The characters are cute, and they make learning fun.

I order this for my two year old girl. I didn't receive the same software that shows the picture instead I received one that have a dog and said that its for ages 4-7 when I ordered this one that shows from 3 to 6. I contacted seller they said they changed the age but its the same. Well I don't think so it is to hard for a two year old and instead of a bunny you have a dog. Finally we intalled and it worked one time then it didn't work again. We have contacted support two weeks ago and we haven't received an asnwer yet.
Awesome Introduction to Spanish July 25, 2007
This is an exciting program. It teaches numbers; things in the bathroom, kitchen, bedroom, and living room. It teaches body parts and colors. It teaches clothing and even some simple conversational topics like Hi how are you? What is the weather like? Feelings, etc. br /br /There is counting and clicking and matching and hide and seek and coloring and dress up and music etc.br /br /When the children get 5 stars they get to pick something for their aquarium. br /br /It is a great introduction. It will not teach children full Spanish, but it will give a good start.br /br /Plus as an added bonus it can be switched to learn English instead and the Instructions come in French, German, English, or Spanish.
