Little Pim is perfect for my classroom, home, or a quick on-the-plane or in the airport language brush up- and the kids really look forward to “Pim Time”. Little Pim is a fun and unique edu-tainment line I wouldn’t be without. Little Pim teaches children a new language (or brushes up skills) through the usage of DVD’s CD’s, toys, books and games, with perhaps the most well known being the DVD’s. The way Pim DVD’s teach is through examples in short segments, each being 5 minutes long, which are part of a much larger theme, IE Spanish Disc 3 is Playtime. Throughout the disc, children are shown 60 words and phrases which work with the playing theme. This way of educating is called Entertaining Immersion Method. Each Pim disc is jam packed with learning by diagram, example action and most of all fun.
Not only does Pim teach Spanish, but also French, Arabic, Russian, and Japanese. Little Pim is also adorable, with his short but sweet DVD’s, each of which clock in at 35 minutes long. This gives mom and dad a breather for a little bit, and the little ones a little language lesson at the same time- not turning the kiddos into brain-dead zombies. Afterward, follow up with your child to see what they learned- excellent diner conversation, and practice as well.
Not only does Pim have DVD’s but also music with languages in the form of CD’s. The French Bop CD (for example) has 15 well known French children songs, all of which will help your little ones further understand the language and French culture. Some of the songs are: Tap, Tap, Tap, and Les Petites Marionettes. To round out our French learning experience there are also word and phrase cards to quiz your kids with. Perhaps your child may not remember the words all the time, but both they and you will be thrilled as they get the words right and their vocabulary builds. With practice, patience, and Pim, I am sure in no time he will be our little tour guide through the fields of France.
Little Pim has now made their award-winning language learning program available digitally. Sold in Spanish, French, Chinese, English/ESL and the newly [Read more…]
