Wordplay is a free online game that helps students develop a large, permanent Spanish Vocabulary. All learning is done with a simple game which automatically adjusts to each student's unique needs. Students learn the proper meaning, pronunciation, and spelling of each word. They also build long-term retention with reviews that automatically adjust in frequency based on demonstrated skill. Each student spends exactly the amount of play time he or she uniquely needs with each new word -- no more, no less -- so that vocabulary learning and retention is optimized while students have fun.
