The program amply covers all bases and touches on all four key linguistic skills: listening, speaking, reading and writing. The program has specific games that address each. But the program can be equally valuable for homeschooling families. Languagenut may tackle the same topics numbers, colors, greetings as many other language programs, but it has some of the most graphically compelling interfaces on this side of language learning.
The elementary school program will teach your kids words and phrases through 23 units. Target words are taught through 13 speaking, listening, reading and writing games. Plus, each program across their entire selection comes with 31 support languages—that means you can learn your target language from the comfort of your native language.
The clips are divided by grade levels: PreK-K, K-2, , and There are only 16 videos available across all the languages in the PreK-K section, but the rest of the levels have a substantial amount of content with around videos. The section for grades contains almost videos, so PBS Learning Media would be particularly useful for elementary-aged kids.
This level is also great for adults who want to learn like kids but find the early childhood content too simple. Other than language and level, you can filter your search further by audio, video, interactive or themed collection.
The audio clips tend to be short, mainly focusing on listening and speaking skills, while the videos are a mix of songs, conversations and standard lessons. The standard video lessons are quite handy since they also come with supporting materials for teachers, such as the lesson plan, video transcript, flashcards, assessments and more. There are also interactive video lessons which are normally part of a series. These interactive lessons allow you to learn new vocabulary through cute adventure games where you can explore with the arrow keys and select correct terms with the mouse.
Not only does it allow your kids to learn in their native tongue, but it also does it through the art of storytelling. Reading is crucial for cognitive development, and letting the little ones read bilingual stories in early childhood will also form their ability to think in the second language. To help them read out loud, audio narration by native speakers is available for some languages, with more options currently underway.
The stories are short, with each page containing only one sentence in dual languages, accompanied by beautiful illustrations to let the kids visually connect with new vocabulary words. To reinforce these new words, Unuhi has numerous sets of flashcards that you and the kids can practice with. The app is completely free to download and it gives you access to one e-book.
You can either purchase moe e-books individually or select a bundle. Created by a language teacher, artist and game designer in , Studycat was a small classroom program that became a hit among the students. Because it was so popular with the kids, the founders turned it into a digital curriculum that they could share with fellow language teachers, schools and parents. Then, in , the app was born to reach learners across the globe.
But instead of Studycat taking over the lesson, kids learn through fun and play—specifically interactive games, original songs and relatable cartoon characters with different voices so learners can listen to the language in different accents.
And the best part of it is that you can use the apps offline, with no pop-up ads or external links for distraction-free learning. These additional resources help to balance screen time and inspire teachers to create their lesson plans and diversify their teaching methods.
Available languages: 30 languages, from popular options like Portuguese to vulnerable tongues like Ingush. Gus is a friendly owl that helps children explore the languages of the world through interactive exercises and adorable animations. Each language has its own app, so feel free to download as many languages as you want. Completing the review will unlock a cute game and trophies, which is very helpful in keeping the little ones motivated to learn more vocabulary words.
The words taught in these lessons are very basic, themed around animals, food and colors, among others, making this a very good starting point for complete beginners. And once you or your kids are ready to move past the basic vocabulary, you can go on to their latest innovation known as Stories by Gus on the Go.
As you can guess, this app lets you learn your target language through classic stories, brought to life with the introduction of new characters and audio narration so you can read and listen to the story. Available languages: 33 languages, from popular choices like Korean and Spanish to less common options like Farsi and Afrikaans.
