PRODUCT REVIEW + GIVEAWAY: LITTLE PIM (LANGUAGE GIFT SET)

One of the greatest gifts a child can have…is the power of language. No matter where you live in the world, language is a very powerful tool for any child (ages birth and up) to utilize. As a mother, one of my goals is to have my children be able to speak more than one language. Growing up in a bilingual home is truly wonderful, and I know will open many doors to their future. That is why I am so incredibly excited to share this next product review with you from Little Pim.

About Little Pim
Little Pim was created in 2006 by Julia Pimsleur Levine, a mom who grew up bilingual and was looking for fun ways to introduce her young son to the French language. When she discovered there were no high quality videos/DVDs for teaching toddlers a foreign language, she decided to create them herself— something for which she was uniquely qualified as a filmmaker, language teacher, and mother. Pimsleur Levine was inspired in part by having grown up in the language teaching business. Her father, Dr. Paul Pimsleur, created one of the most popular and acclaimed audio teaching language methods for adults.

Pimsleur Levine created a series that delights kids as much as any purely entertainment show, and treats play and learning as seamless activities. The Little Pim DVDs and products all make language learning fun and easy for babies, toddlers, preschoolers, and their monolingual or bilingual parents.

The Product
Little Pim is an award-winning foreign language learning series for young children. Our series makes language learning easy, fun and effective. Little Pim features our unique Entertainment Immersion Method™, which combines animation and real kids to teach simple words and phrases for everyday activities. The program is available in 10 different languages, and includes videos, apps, music, books, flash cards and more. The 10 languages available are: Spanish, Italian, Chinese, German, English, French, Japanese, Arabic, Russian and Hebrew.

Here is an example of what the Little Pim videos are like. This one is part of the Spanish language gift set (which is the one I reviewed).

My Review
For this review, I was provided with a Little Pim language gift set in any language of my choice. And since Spanish is the second most common language in our country, and is spoken by over 12% of the population I thought it would be a good decision for my girls.

The giftset came in a fun, see-through Little Pim tote bag which contained 3 DVDs in Spanish (eating and drinking, wake up smiling, playtime) and an 8? velvety soft plush Little Pim panda. All together, the three DVDs introduced my girls (ages 2.5 and 1 year old) to 180 Spanish words and phrases.

If you are looking for a way to teach your child a second language (or mulitple languages), then this program is definitely something you should look into! It truly is never too early to start learning a language – and this incredible company does a phenomenal job of immersing language into your home as early as when your child is first born.

There are other language courses out there, but none of them will compare to the level that Little Pim does. The videos are interactive, fun, engaging and truly are a pleasure to have in our home. The only complaint that I have, is that I wish that it would say the word in English (our dominant language) first. I sometimes have trouble deciphering what our friend, the panda bear is trying to teach my girls. Other than that, I have nothing but excellent things to share 😀 Both of my girls really enjoy watching the videos – and I love that we are all learning another language together. 

 

I would highly recommend every family to purchase one of the Little Pim programs for their home! Your children (ages 0 – 5) will love the cute panda bear who teaches them new words each time you watch the videos!
