The app doesn't work.

The app doesn't work. I uninstalled and reinstalled and I only get as far as planting the language tree. Once I choose spanish nothing happens except the purple thing keeps saying look around your room to create to lessons. Nothing pops up.

It knew my chair was leather! Incredible

What a dynamic and unique experience! I love how the word clouds are generated on the fly, populating my actual space with different nouns and adjectives every time. It was impressive enough to identify that my armchair was leather and my desk chair was 'de oficina.' It’s definitely not a lenient judge of pronunciation, but that’s exactly what I need to make sure I’m speaking Spanish properly. I also love the visuals in the final level. What a cool application!

Engaging, Fun, and Motivating

I tried Spatial Lingo: Language Practice out of curiosity, since I barely speak any Spanish—but it genuinely surprised me. By combining language learning with spatial and real-world interaction, I’ve already started picking up basic vocabulary, and the learning process never feels boring. There was one small but funny moment during use: the system detected a wall as a pigeon. Improving object detection accuracy would definitely make the experience smoother. That said, this doesn’t take away from the app’s strong educational potential.
