The videos, songs, and characters are extremely catchy and welcoming. They are so well done and they put a lot of thought into making each and every single video, game, and assignment.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The fact that the videos, whether it be the songs or images, catch the eye of the children is a very important factor. The characters are really fun and it all is constructed very well to keep children\u2019s attention. Little Sponges\u00ae is able to add fun to learning with the additional factor of both languages being incorporated into each video. And that is amazing. Children can implicitly learn this way, and the younger children learn a new language, the better they will be at speaking it.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a teacher myself, I can say that this program are really great.
