Kids Learn Mandarin
SCORE: 90
Audio visual learning in the form of watching something on television
has been one of the most used ways to educate the masses. That method is
still being used, and probably will be for some time. What is replacing
it is video games. It did not take video game companies long to realize
they influence the audience with teachings within their games.
All video games teach something. There are some that are open and honest
in what they are teaching the masses. This is where Kids Learn Mandarin
on the iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad comes into play. This cute little kids
game helps teach Mandarin. In case you need your kids to learn it.
I must admit I have never had a use in my life to speak this language.
Maybe it will be something that will be useful in the future. The State
Department seems to think so. Maybe since they gave away so many of our
secrets to China they see it useful in terms of giving away our
proprietary information.
Kids Learn Mandarin teaches numbers, colors,
animals, food, sports, transportation and more. There are twelve lessons
in all. Ninety-six mini-games, twelve music videos, and twelve Chinese
character writing lessons. The coolest part of Kids Learn
Mandarin is the sticker playground. Kids earn stickers by completing
mini games in the lessons. They can then apply those stickers to a
screen.
The touch screen controls in Kids Learn Mandarin work marvelously. I ran
into no issues on any screens. If you choose the wrong character in mini
games it goes away. That leaves less choices for your next selection.
Kids will eventually get the right one via the process of elimination.
Kids Learn Mandarin is an app that is encouraging, positive, upbeat, and
educational. There are multiple apps out there that teach Mandarin. In
my opinion Kids Learn Mandarin is one of the best out on the market
place to date.
