Make language come to life!
This intuitive and colorful app for preschoolers is easy to understand through the combination of image and sound. Educational studies have shown that children of a young age are highly receptive to language learning and articulative expression. With LinguPinguin, curious children encounter a playful approach to learning foreign languages.
Nine different visual worlds and a total of ninety funny objects are made available to explore. When tapped, each object comes to life with hilarious animated movements and sounds revealing the spoken word for the object in the native tongue or chosen foreign language. A creative language-learning adventure!
Themes are: animals, transportation, food, body, farm, toys, nature, clothes, and apartment.
In the THE LINGUPINGUIN QUIZ all words are queried that were learned in the game. Up to 8 points can be collected. Depending on the result you will be rewarded with a funny animation. The LINGUPINGUIN QUIZ makes learning fun!
Also for adult travelers, tourists or anyone interested in languages, LinguPinguin is an amusing tool to get in touch with a foreign language.
The appealing illustrations and quality animations offered in this app were executed by the Elevision team, who offers other educational children apps in the App Store, check out the series BioMio, RioMio, TioMio, the PumiLumi series, as well as the animated interactive cartoon "Filifant".
Latest reviews of LinguPinguin - English German app for iPhone and iPad
My 1,5 year old calls it the "garbage" game, even though in the game the garbage is called "trash can". Pros: - My boy loves it! - Animations are nice enough. Cons: - Long startup time, cant resume where you left off, will need to get back to the startup screen every time you want to continue! - Buttons (objects on the screen) are really hard to tap for some reason, even for adults... Frustrating. - There should be an option to turn off the music. - A choice of alternate words per object would be useful.
No sound equals no learning. I better get my money back!!!
Trying to teach my kids a little German so they can impress Oma and this is fun for them while they learn. Heck my 3 year old just likes to watch the little animations when pressing an object. Whoever said theres no sound is a dummkopf.
Our three-year-old loves this. She keeps returning to it on the iPad. Thank you!
I was looking for an amusing language school for my children to get in touch with German. This is an animated cute app to learn simple words like animals and toys, nature, transports and body parts. We love LinguPingu!
