Here is an exciting innovative educational tool you can use at home with your baby, toddler or pre-schooler, Little Pim!   When I look at my pre-schooler I hope I am doing everything I humanly can to encourage creativity, intelligence, spontaneity and success.  For a pre-schooler that really just means doing some great crafts, counting to 30, tracing letters and being polite   But we all want our kids to strive, be successful, confident, and brilliant.

Little Pim is literally a cute cartoon panda bear character who teachers your child a foreign language using the Entertainment Emersion Method.   The entire DVD is spoken by native speakers, and words are presented and repeated at regular intervals. Each Little Pim DVD focuses on sixty words and phrases typically acquired in a toddler’s primary language, providing the essential building blocks for language acquisition.

Little Pim DVDs are designed and paced for developing minds. Young children respond enthusiastically to Little Pim’s format, a combination of animation and live action. Babies respond to black and white, therefore the panda captures the attention of even the youngest viewers. Each 35-minute DVD is segmented into seven 5-minute episodes to accommodate a young child’s attention span and encourage pausing for parent interaction. Simple sentences are broken down into easy-to-understand parts, and reinforced through repetition.

We were lucky enough to receive the set above as a sample for Nicholas.  It is amazing to sit and hear Nicholas just repeat the words while playing, he laughs at himself having fun doing something completely different and entertaining to him   I was impressed at how quickly the panda character caught my busy 3 year old attention but I think too that it was interesting for Nicholas to see kids his age saying these words in Spanish, “if they can do it, so can I”.

You have to check out Little Pim’s website to fully appreciate this fabulous children’s entertainment and learning series.  If you have the desire of giving your child an edge, of opening doors, broadening horizons for him then help him learn a foreign language, now.  According to much research, many scientist, now is the very best time to help your child learn a foreign language.

Use the flashcards, DVD’s, stuffed Panda toy or music CD’s to get your child interested in learning any of the nine choices of languages.   AND interestingly, Little Pim is going digital with a new iPhone application!  How fun is that, you child can play games anywhere anytime.  Little Pim Word Bag, developed by Animax, is an interactive word game featuring Little Pim the panda.

There really is too much to say in one feature, you must visit the Little Pim website to understand how wonderful this learning tool is.  After all, Little Pim is designed by Julia Pimsleur Levine a uniquely previous filmmaker, language teacher, and now mother who is also the daughter of Dr. Paul Pimsleur, who created one of the most popular and acclaimed audio teaching language methods for adults.  So obviously Little Pim is a masterpiece of exceptional expertise in the area of educating language to people old and young
