KLOO's Learn to Speak Spanish Language Card Games - Place & Travel - Pack 2 (Double Decks)

This game is great for those who don't want to revisit their school days and the dreaded 'vocab' learning from dull lists in a book. I want to learn Spanish as my brother lives in Spain, and when visiting him I don't like to be the one sitting around the table grinning inanely at his incomprehensible friends. 'Hola'...then silence. Classic. Might as well tie a hankie on my head. The cards give foolproof prompts to allow you to make correct grammatical sentences immediately. Although very simple sentences, they enable you to learn basic words in a surprisingly short time. After a week of use, at around 45 minutes a day, I had learned the two decks pretty much completely. That's around 60 new words that I didn't have before. Take off the hankie. I thinks that's a testament to the Discovery Learning technique which this game employs. One has to search through the cards to find the meaning of the Spanish words, and this process means that other words are constantly being read and their meaning reinforced. Up until now I have only used the deck as a solitaire game, as my Spanish wife says she is too busy - at least I think that's what she said. Things can get confusing. But, nevertheless, I really do recommend this as a learning aid. I imagine the board game that can accompany the decks would increase the playability for a group of learners.

This is an excellent language learning game that promotes speaking and forming grammatical sentences. I have all the levels of Kloo and have given them as gifts The beauty of the game is it is a teaching tool and doesn't require a specific vocabulary or proficiency level in order to use it. There are also several additional games that can be played that can be found by going on the website mentioned in the directions. The only prerequisite for using these cards is the ability to read. I am a retired foreign language teacher (a different language from the cards I ordered.) I only wish I had known about this fun and educational game while I was teaching.

This really helps middle schoolers who struggle with word order in a new language. The color coding really works for them and they are processing important information without realizing it. I recommend three students per group/deck of cards so that you can use the game in a 20 minute window of class time. In 20 minutes, 25 points is a good goal to set to determine the winner. The game is very easy to learn and very effective. The point system is easy for students to track. If beginner Spanish students are playing, I recommend introducing the adjective agreement "challenge" element of the game after students have played KLOO two or three times.

After reading the reviews for Kloo I decided to pick up Packs 1 and 2 of the Spanish set. I've been trying to learn the language for a while and found other products to be quite dull, "flat" and repetative. That's not the case with the Kloo system at all. It's easy to get to grips with, interactive and provides great gamification. One real positive for me is the portability of the product along with the easy set up for solo learning. I'm finding it especially rewarding during the current situation. Overall, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Kloo cards to others. Esta fantástico!

A brilliant, natural and tactile way to learn some Spanish. Son who hates all the text book type learning loves these. Colour coded for different categories of words. Bought packs 1 and 2 and a couple of weeks later bought packs 3 and 4. Certainly helps the flow and format of the Spanish sentence. A great buy!
