Foreign Language for Toddlers
Between birth and five years of age, the human brain is actually hard-wired for learning multiple languages, but after the first five years it becomes much more difficult to retain a new language. Whereas babies can understand and discriminate the sounds of every language in the world, adults can no longer hear the difference, thus making it much harder to imitate these sounds. How do you teach a foreign language to your tiny tots?
First to Offer a Child-friendly Immersion Method
For every homeschooling family that dreams of having bilingual children, but has neither a multilingual spouse nor bilingual in-laws, there is the Little Pim DVD series. Little Pim is the first foreign language DVD series to offer a child-friendly immersion method. Using situations familiar to children, the emphasis is on the first words typically acquired by children. Each DVD teaches more than sixty new words and phrases in seven five-minute segments using repetition to reinforce learning. Pim, an engaging animated panda, begins each learning section, followed by live-action footage of children occupied in everyday activities. The voices, all native speakers, are clear, crisp, and easy-to-understand, and the visuals are colorful and vibrant.
Early Foreign Language Aids Cognitive Development
While watching Little Pim DVDs may give your child adorably accurate accents, it will do more than just familiarize your little one with the rhythm and tones of other languages. Research confirms that early foreign language acquisition substantially contributes to a young child’s cognitive development.
Even Hesitant Family Members Feel Confident
Research also shows that children learn best when their family members actively play with them while naming items and actions. Not only are Little Pim’s DVDs modeled on this natural way of learning, but because each episode is bite-sized, even timid family members will soon feel confident to incorporate the new language in daily life.
Each Volume is Three DVDs
Little Pim is an excellent tool for beginning language instruction in the home. Each volume of Little Pim includes three DVDs. Each DVD is about thirty-five minutes long and introduces over sixty words and phrases. Volume One includes Eating and Drinking; Wake Up Smiling; and Playtime. Volume Two includes In My Home; Happy, Sad and Silly; and I Can Count. Little Pim is the 2009 winner of the prestigious Association of Educational Publishers Award for Distinguished Achievement in World Language Curriculum.
