Did you know?
- More than half of the world’s population speaks more than one language.
- Infancy and early childhood are critical periods for language development.
- Current research has confirmed that bilingual children learn faster and learning a second language supports other types of learning.
- Reading stories in the classroom and especially at home is emotionally and educationally important for children.
- Bilingual books are ideal for teaching and learning foreign languages.
The Problem
- With an increasing number of families living abroad, there is a growing need for more bilingual literature for children to support the transition from one language to another.
- Parents living abroad naturally want to teach and read to a child in their mother tongue.
- Traditional printed bilingual books produced by larger publishers can be expensive and hard to find in the 2 languages you may want as they are still aimed primarily at teaching English. Not much use if you are one of the 1 million Romanians living in Spain or Italy for example.
- Primary school teachers are always looking for new ways to introduce children to a new language, and integrate and add cohesion between the different nationalities in the classroom.
- Until now, no platform has been able to offer quality bilingual books in an extensive range of languages.
