Studycat
Young kids tap, match and sing their way through first words in Spanish, French, German, Chinese or English.
Studycat is a family of separate language apps for small children – one each for Spanish, French, German, Chinese and English. Inside, kids drag, tap and pair pictures with everyday words such as colors, animals, food and family members, then meet those words again in songs and short stories. The maker says no reading is needed, and the picture-led screens seem to back that up, so preschoolers look able to play on their own. Speaking games invite kids to say words aloud, and their recorded voice is played back inside the game – something little ones tend to find very funny. An adventure mode wraps the lessons in a small town with a path to follow. Difficulty appears to rise gently across the 2–8 range, and weekly summaries tell grown-ups which topics came up.
