My daughter is younger than the recommended age but she really enjoyed it. She clapped while watching it. I'm trying to teach her Spanish at a very early age. So her hearing it at a early age is great so when she talks she will also know spanish. She does say some english words like mama, dada, doggy, kitty and no.
The pros:
The first time I reviewed Speekee , my daughter liked it and she's a year. I love that the videos teach practical, every day vocabulary- words pertaining to the house, the store, the park, etc. Colors and numbers are also taught. The fun songs help learn so much and they are very easy to remember. The biggest pro is a feature: the FastTrack. Speekee's FastTrack is a 40 week lesson plan already done for you. All the worksheets and flashcards you need are there to be printed at the click of a button.
The cons:
The purple guy is kind of weird but other than that I really don't have any, but in case it matters to anyone out there, Speekee teaches the kind of Spanish that people in Spain speak, not the dialects of Latin America or Mexico. Yes, fundamentally, the language is the same, but some pronunciations are different. And yes, I'm sure there is a fancy name for each of those dialects, but I don't know them because I never took Spanish. I just know the Speekee teaches the Spain kind of Spanish
So what is Speekee? It's an award winning online (or DVD, but they are PAL version) Spanish curriculum for children ages 2-10. It's an immersion approach, meaning all they speak is Spanish, but captioning is available, so children who can read (and parents who don't speak Spanish at all) can see what the characters are saying. To be fair, you can deduce what the characters are saying without the captioning, but the captioning allows students to see the written Spanish language as well. The lessons feature Speekee, the purple puppet shown above, as well as sock puppets Lupi and Dino
