“A stunningly beautiful, culturally rich app for children to learn multiple languages and be exposed to other cultures. Different types of interactions for different ages and learning styles are cleverly integrated into the app.”
— Prof. Dorothy M. Chun, (Second language acquisition,computer-mediated communication for language learning, and learning and teaching with digital media)
Children, across the world and of all ages, love animals! They view animals as their friends, enjoy them as pets, and delight in playing with them in different environments. Now, in a completely new look, children get to create their own avatars and immerse themselves in the farmland where they interact with animals, learn their names in fun environments in nine different languages: English, Spanish, German, Arabic, Hindi, Marathi, Punjabi, Telugu, and Gujarati.
Although this app is designed for children of different age ranges, the age groups are merely suggestions. All children are unique, so allow your child to be the guide.
Watch Mode : This is an auto-play mode allowing for a full language immersion experience.
From the home screen:
- Tap on the scroll bar to select a language
- Tap the top windows to select age
- Tap on an animal from the carousel to play
Motive: To entertain and stimulate children’s brains with images of delightful animated animal characters, representative of cultures around the world, while introducing the name of each animal. Research shows that a human brain is hardwired to learn as many as three languages by the age of six. This full immersion technique takes advantage of this special window by exposing children to multiple foreign languages, or a single target language.
Play Mode: This is an interactive play mode that allows children to explore and learn animal names in multiple languages.
- Use the scroll bar to select language
- Use the forward and back arrows to select animals
- Tap the animal icon in the upper right corner to view an animation of the animal dressed in culture-specific attire, accompanied by world music
Motive: To engage children with interactive play. This is the age range during which most children are learning to relate animal names and sounds to actual animals. This mode offers an opportunity to learn by interacting with the content. Children can learn the names of the animals in a target language, become exposed to various foreign languages or simply enjoy the fun animations, ethnic apparel, and world music.
Create Mode: This is an interactive play mode that introduces children to full sentences and vocabulary words in multiple languages.
- Use the scroll bar to select language
- Use the forward and back arrows to select animals
- Tap the box to the left of the screen to select clothing, accessories, hats and shoes
- Tap the box to the right to select a background landscape
- Tap different environments to interactive with fun engaging landscapes.
Motive: To encourage children to learn languages in full sentences and spark imagination as children dress up the animals in fun interactive environments.
