All of the content is kid-friendly, age-appropriate, and hand-selected by the Amazon FreeTime team with new titles added regularly.
Spanish is the second most widely spoken language in the United States and is taught as a foreign language in many elementary schools today, said Kurt Beidler, Director of Kids & Family, Amazon. FreeTime and FreeTime Unlimited in Spanish offer an immersive experience that reinforces what many kids are learning at home or in school.

Parents can also use the FreeTime parental controls to modify their child's language preferences either directly on their child's device or remotely through Parent Dashboard (parents.amazon.com), and can choose to enable Spanish-only content, English-only content, or a combination of both. Settings can also be customized for each individual child profile. Parents can also choose Spanish as their Parent Dashboard language to monitor their child's activity and adjust their FreeTime settings remotely.
