Introducing Little Pim, a new way for kids ages 0-6 to have fun while learning a new language!
To get started, choose from 12 languages—Arabic, Chinese (Mandarin), English, French, German, Hebrew, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Russian, and Spanish.
A series of short, engaging videos voiced by native speakers will help kids to learn the new language. The videos are just five minutes long, making them perfect for holding young children’s attention. There are seven episodes for each of the themes: colors, counting, feelings, food, playtime, and shapes.
