Best app for learning sentences
My kids and I really like this app, particularly because it is one of the few ones available where you can learn sentences rather than just words. And if you want to really learn a language, you have to learn sentences. I guess it is the immersion method, but it would be helpful if you could at least read a translation to all the vocab they throw at you. I often had to ask for help from Mandarin speaking friends. It is not intuitive. Also, sometimes my kids are afraid to get something wrong, because if they do there is a very loud buzzer that goes off. It does not encourage them to try and learn the immersion way. It scares them a little. On some discovery puzzles there is no way to repeat the question, so it makes it hard to get the correct answer if you didn't catch what they said. Please add a repeat button to every discovery game. Hearing something often helps to learn it. There are other glitches, like after you get the puzzle piece for that puzzle and you want to play it again, you don't know when you are done because you are only rewarded the first time you play it. Also, on a couple there is no way to progress to the next page to complete the puzzle. The button is missing. If they could fix these things it would be great, if you have a Mandarin speaking friend to translate everything. But no other app for kids has taught them to listen as well to conversational Mandarin.
