Do you want your child to grow up bilingual? Most parents would immediately say yes but feel at a loss for where to start. This week we discovered Little Pim!
Little Pim is an award-winning foreign language immersion DVD series for babies, toddlers and preschoolers. The series was created by French-speaker and mom, Julia Pimsleur, the daughter of Dr. Paul Pimsleur of the Pimsleur foreign language education method.
They currently offer three theme-based DVDs that use the unique Entertainment Immersion Method™, which combines animation and real kids, teaching simple words and phrases for everyday activities. The star of the DVDs is an animated panda, Little Pim, who is also the teacher! Each program is available individually or in a discounted three-disc set. Currently they offer Spanish, French, Chinese, Italian, Japanese, Hebrew, English (ESL), German, Arabic, and Russian (6 DVDs are available in French, Spanish, and Chinese).
Research has proven that young children who learn a language before birth and six years of age tend to have superior reading, writing, analytical and social skills, as well as more extensive vocabularies than their monolingual peers. Early foreign language acquisition is no longer considered a luxury. It materially contributes to a young child’s cognitive development and also gives him an advantage in the future of our increasingly global marketplace.
Testimonial: Isabelle highly recommends Little Pim to other parents. “I chose Little Pim because the total immersion approach used in the series is unlike any other language program available for children. These DVDs are second to none when it comes to fully introducing your child to another language.”
