''Spanish for Everyone'' is a 2007 [[EdutainmentGame educational game]] for the UsefulNotes/NintendoDS, developed by Humagade and produced by [[Creator/ActivisionBlizzard Activision]].

It's up to Shawn to travel to Ensenada and get the DS back, and learn some Spanish from an interesting cast of characters along the way.
The game is notable for its [[WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids interesting story]] and an impressive dictionary of nearly 6000 words in both English and Spanish, all fully voiced.
