Spanish: The Spanish Pack includes 4 games about South American animals linked to RZSS South American projects in the wild. In addition, partnered with StampIT, there are 2 games about Spain introducing Spanish wildlife and culture.
Note: The conservation project in South America is based in the Pantanal which is mainly in Brazil, where the language is Portuguese. However all the animals within the four South American linked games, in the Spanish pack, are found across many South American Spanish speaking countries. The Pantanal also extends into Bolivia and Paraguay. The language learning is European Spanish, as per curriculum in UK schools, and not South American Spanish.
