My sister is a bilingual teacher in the US and after seeing all the cool work books and educational software that exist for children to learn English, she decided to create something similar for Spanish. After designing some of the exercises, she asked me if I could create a program so that children could practice.
I decided it would be a good opportunity to learn Backbone.js. After watching some tutorials and screen casts I jumped in. I had to rewrite it two times because I got stuck and I feel like I am still learning it, but I thought I’d share it anyway.
Head over to LeoMejor.apphb.com to try it out and learn some Spanish in the process!
If you are interested, head over to the BitBucket project to checkout the source. (Be mindful that all the art is my sister’s, if you want to use any of it please let me know.)
I’ll follow this up with a write up about my experience with Backbone and some pitfalls that I fell into.

That is fantastic. I cannot wait to try it put on my two when they come back from school.
