We know (firsthand) how hard it is to work from home when your kids are there too! Starting immediately, FabuLingua is making our Spanish for kids Apple App Store and Google Play Store apps completely free, for all families. All of our stories, games and the Magic Sticker Book will be included."
FabuLingua concluded, "We want to provide families with a highly engaging educational tool that will give children a rich educational experience of learning Spanish, even while not in school, and while giving their parents some much needed time to work from home.When things once again return to 'normal', FabuLingua will go back to our subscription model, which will enable us to continue developing many more stories and games to keep our little linguists deeply engaged in their language learning journey."
