5 stars (Fun Fun Fun!!!) - This product is amazing. After learning my husband was taking me to Mexico for our 25th anniversary, I was nervous about going into a foreign country without knowing Spanish. This game is amazing. It is the fastest way to learn a language without long drawn out grammar explanations. Afterall, I just wanted to learn the basics, phrases for restaurants, banks, airports, shopping etc. This game was so much fun, you couldn't tear me or my husband off the computer. We kept wanting to play because learning was so much fun. The phrases I learned contributed to a much more enjoyable trip and now I have enrolled at the local community college to further my Spanish. This product is perfect for any one travelling and wanting to learn the phrases and colloquial expression fast. ...

5 stars (An easy version of Photoshop for kids!) - This program is great. Bought for my 6 year old son who displays a lot of creativity but is already knowledgeable of the computer, so thought this would be a good program to utilize his skills. I found that click and create was similar to Photoshop which is amazing because he'll already be learning skills for when he's older. The navigation is easy and Mia, the character, is adorable. My son's favourite part is making the gift cards where he finds excuses to make cards all the time now for the littlest of occasions! Great product. ...

5 stars (Perfect for little ones) - Finally, fresh new characters which are adorable. I am a converted Kutoka buyer as I have now bought a 3rd item from them. I was so impressed with the Mia Reading and Mia Language that I wanted to try this multi-subject game for my twin girls in kindergarten. This game is a great compliment to mia reading as it reinforces literacy and other subjects like math and problem solving. We haven't played with the art part yet but I still think it's a great value for the other subjects. I'm really impressed how it helps to develop their cognitive skills and patience as one of my girls has a problem with concentration but found through the problem solving activities that she is overcoming these difficulties. Great product. Even my neighbours kids come over to play it! 5 stars (Help for PC user Joel G ) - (Responding to Joel G's review below) It's unfortunate that your child was unable to enjoy Didi & Ditto because of a technical problem you had with your computer. The majority of Didi & Ditto players are running Microsoft Windows and enjoying this great educational software. If you send us an e-mail message at service@kutoka.com, I am sure that someone from our technical support team will be able to help you resolve the issue you seem to have experienced with your computer display. Also note that all activites can be unlocked in the Activities menu by pressing the F6 key on your keyboard. A full list of the game's keyboard shortcuts can be found in the user's guide which is accessible from the Start menu. Hope this helps. 4 stars (Learning fun) - My 4 year old son received this as a Christmas present. He has really enjoyed playing it so far. He can do most of the activities without help. There is one part where you have to ride a cart down a mountain and click buttons to duck or jump, which I think is pretty hard for little ones (it actually took me a couple of tries to make it down the mountain). There are many different learning... Kutoka :: Mac Macintosh Machintosh Apple :: Kids (Children :: Kids (Children) :: Computer software (programs) :: :: Didi - Ditto- Kindergarten
5 stars (Easy to Play, Easy to Load, Easy to Love!) - This game is great! After buying Mia Reading I thought it was a great idea to get my 2 girls to start learning Spanish since we live in a global village. They game was easy to load, easy to navigate and the level was perfect for beginners. The high quality 3D animation will blow you away. Even my husband who learned 3D animation at the Vancouver Film School was blown away. The best part is, that they love playing it as they think it is a game. They forget they're learning numbers and vocab and how to put together simple sentences. Well recommended. 5 stars (Amazing!!) - I bought this for my god-daughter after buying Mia's Science Adventure. I have never been so impressed with a companies product before. You can learn both Spanish AND French on the same CD. The graphics are amazing, the adventure is stupendous and now Lily (my god-daughter) is learning Spanish. Her level is above all her classmates and she's even started conversing with a Mexican girl in our neighbourhood. Well worth your money. 5 stars (Highly Recommended) - My girl has always loved Mia and she loves knowing words in other languages, so Mia's Language adventure in a real winner in our home. I sat with her through parts of the game and was amazed at the depth of the educative activities. The story was fun and I would recommend this to anyone with an interest in second languages. Bravo! ... Kutoka :: Mac Macintosh Machintosh Apple :: Kids (Children) :: Computer software (programs) :: :: Mia-s Language Adventure
5 stars (Perfect for whole family!) - This product totally surpassed my expectations. Originally bought as a gift for my daughter, I ended up using for myself for trips to Montreal and France with my husband. This product is perfect for anyone who wants to learn a language fast. To learn the basics to converse in restaurants, banks, airports, hotels, shopping without sounding like a fool. It didn't waste my time with grammar or things I wouldn't need. It was fun as it uses humourous cartoon characters who at first seemed childish, but then I realized it made for a non-intimidating environment for someone who couldn't remember more than bonjour from high school. As for my daughter, it provided her with much needed comprehension pratise that's not emphasized at schools as much anymore. Very happy with purchase and well worth my money, ...

5 stars (Amazing!!) - Why haven't I heard about the Mia characters before? I bought this for my god daughters 6th birthday without knowing anything about the game. We opened it together and I was BLOWN AWAY with the 3D animation-the same quality as Pixar. Everyone at the party was glued to the computer screen in this adventure land game. Best of all, its educational but because it was so entertaininng, my god-daughter has not stopped playing it. Well worth your money! I'm going to buy the rest of the Mia series. ...

5 stars (Finally, my daughter can read!) - Finally, a program that caters to girls instead of just boys. Well, boys can play this too, but i find it very female friendly. My daugthers love it and fight over who gets to use it. My littlest is really shy and was having problems in kindergarten and afraid to ask for help. Now, she is starting to get the hang of spelling and feels so confident about it and always wants to play with Mia. We tried reader rabbit kindergarten as well but I found it wasn't effective as it didn't keep her attention long enough to start understanding the educational concepts. I will definitely recommend this for all parents who want to reinforce the basics of reading and writing. 5 stars (Great Fun and Learning!) - I bought this for my daughter when she turned 4 as she was already starting to learn to read. It took her a little while to follow the story and find the clues (I helped her with that). Once she had that figured out, it became her favorite computer game. She loves all the games, they were challenging but not too difficult for her on level 1 (there are 5 or 6 levels as I recall). She has since moved on to more difficult levels and still really enjoys it 1.5 years later. If your child is great at exploring computer programs and seeking for objects and clues this is an excellent reading program that won't bore them. If your child doesn't enjoy the "search," the games are still very much worth the money. I should also mention that the little cd-rom book that comes with it tells you exactly where to find everything for those who get frustrated with the search. ...

5 stars (Perfect for Short Attention spans) - My daughter is 6 and she loves this game. She has played it non stop since she got it. Through great graphics and entertaining story kids go on an adventure with Mia to make a time machine to stop a fire. In the process they learn shapes, temperature,directions,sequencing, problem solving, adding, subtracting etc. There are 4 levels of difficulty so that when kids master one level they can move up to the next. My child is learning math and enjoying it! Bravo! 5 stars (Excellent for kids with concentration problems!) - I bought this for my son who was having difficulties with multiplication and division at school. It not's that he wasn't a smart kid, but more so that he had a hard time concentrating at school for something he wasn't interested in. My wife suggested we try software games and we found this. It is amazing. My son loves the Mia characters and spend hours on the computer, we can't even tear him off it and as a result, his math has improved. Well recommeneded for anyone whose child has learning difficulties or concentration problems. ...
