What is Picture Lingo?
Picture Lingo contains specially written audio, rhyming picture books which children listen to and look at every day to pick up language subconsciously.
Stories
*Life is like a set of stories or scenarios which children live in every day, and every situation has its own language. For example, at the dinner table, at school, or at their friends house. *We have written special stories in English to immerse children in those scenarios, and children listen to the writer, Clara, reading these stories so that they can pick up the language as if they were in that scenario.
Meaning
The pictures translate the audio thereby making it understandable/ comprehensible, which is a key for effective language learning. Children hear the sounds of English, and see the meaning in the pictures.
Speed Memorize
Children don’t only need to understand what they hear; they need to memorize it. We help children to do this in a number of ways: 1) Our stories are all rhyming, a bit like nursery rhymes. 2) We have built a ‘Quick Memorize’ function where parents can set a playlist of books to play repeatedly in the background while children are playing, in the car. Through this method children can pick up the rhymes subconsciously.
