Pili Pop App Review: Help Your Child Become Fluent in English

[review]

A small group of developers based in Paris have created an award winning app targeted to children to help them learn English. Pili Pop (official site aquí) was designed with the main purpose of facilitating your child’s English language learning. Available on iPhone and iPad, Pili Pop makes learning fun by seamlessly incorporating the exercises into fun games for kids. Specifically designed for children aged 5 to 10, the app takes children on a globe trotting adventure to keep them engaged while they learn.

Pili Pop uses a method that combines hearing and speaking, while being immersed in the game. Children are brought to practice pronunciation after hearing the words versus reading them, taking advantage of early age neural plasticity. The voice recognition works well and is matched with a fun game reward system, keeping your kid progressing through the game, while remaining interested as a result. At this time, more than 40+ activities are available, with new ones added every month.

Two types of games are used to teach; ‘Expression Games’ with voice recognition in order to practice and develop pronunciation. And, ‘Comprehension Games’ for kids to learn and understand native English speaking and definitions.

The content is developed and produced by language experts, and includes hundreds of words used in simple daily vocabulary use such as clothes, colors and fruits, with a progression into full sentences. Parents can even consult their child’s generated monthly progress reports via email.
