So Spanish broke your heart. Slapped you around. Made you feel awkward. Made you bored.

It’s okay. Nano Nano’s here.

It’s a language-learning gadget for people allergic to traditional language learning. How so? It’s a game. Oh, AND it teaches you Spanish.

No drills. No flashcards. No coach. Just fun.

If you’re getting back into it or just starting out, with built-in translation, crazy power-ups, and the incorporation of physical motions, Nano Nano puts the player in charge.

Don’t let language play with you. Play with language.


LEARN AS YOU PLAY! Unlike other language-learning approaches, Nano Nano teaches Spanish concepts through fun, addictive gameplay. The core of this gameplay is our unique approach, Embodied Categorical Scaffolding, which uses the power of GESTURE to effortlessly teach players new words, concepts, and linguistic categories.

SCI-FI AWESOMENESS! Play through the game as Beta, our intrepid hero who tries to stop the evil Dr. Blank from stealing all of the world’s language for his own villainous purposes. Summon your pal JumboNano to help you fight off Dr. Blank’s nefarious NanoBots! Save the world, one word at a time!

STATE-OF-THE-ART! Nano Nano was created by a team of linguists and computer scientists based out of Boulder, Colorado, with funding provided by the National Science Foundation.

TONS OF CONTENT! Nano Nano uses gameplay to teach 300 vocabulary words, 30 common phrases, 5 sound classes, 5 semantic relationships, and 4 grammatical categories. Best of all, the game tracks your learning gains as you progress!

ENJOY YOURSELF! Language learning doesn’t have to be stressful or tedious. With Nano Nano, you can play at your own pace and on your own terms. No annoying reminders. No anxiety-filled quizzes and tests. Just you and your game.

Language is supposed to be fun! Relax and enjoy.
