What it is
Pequeño is a web‑based play‑learning app focused on Spanish immersion for children ages 3‑8. The app is fully in Spanish and relies on visual cues, repetition, and multi‑sensory games rather than translation.
Core features
- Cultural worlds – La Cocina, Los Animales, La Fiesta, El Mercado, and La Selva. Each world combines animated vocabulary flashcards, tap‑the‑picture matching, sing‑along tracks, and interactive tap‑to‑hear stories.
- On‑device pronunciation – Uses the Web Speech API for Spanish speech recognition; no audio leaves the device.
- Progress tracking – Parents create child profiles (nickname and age) behind a parental gate. A dashboard shows words learned, lessons completed, and an activity feed. Reports are generated in English and Spanish.
- Offline‑first – All content is stored locally via IndexedDB and works without an internet connection after installation.
- Free tier – Two worlds (La Cocina, Los Animales), five lessons, and a 15‑minute daily cap.
- Premium – $59.88 / yr via PayPal unlocks all worlds, unlimited play, additional cultural extras, and future content.
Pequeño is distributed as an installable PWA with a warm cream and papel‑picado visual style.
