Little Pim is the leading language teaching method designed just for children. The short 5-minute videos hold their focus so they can begin their language learning journey on their own.
Child-friendly themes of colors, shapes, counting, and foods make it relatable. Hearing and repeat the 360 foundational words and phrases with Little Pim (who’s voiced by native speakers in each of the 12 languages) helps them recall, reproduce, and apply the new sounds. We even have companion guides and scripts if you want some extra help as you watch the videos. And kids love the playful panda, so their first association with language learning is fun.
