Noah Comprende - Web-only Series Designed to Teach Spanish
Noah Comprende is designed to teach Spanish to children ages six to eight through animated videos with embedded games that help build vocabulary. In each three-minute video, a misunderstanding launches a comic misadventure. Kids learn language better when they can put it into meaningful context. Although - like Noah - they may not understand all the Spanish dialogue, kids can comprehend the story told through rich visual storytelling, much like a silent movie. More |
