Soybean Street, a company dedicated to bringing fun, interactive, and intuitive educational games that promote bilingualism to kids of all ages, today announced the launch of Animal Fun: Spanish and English for Kids, a new language-based gaming application that makes it fun for children to learn new languages. Available now for all iOS devices, the app introduces kids to Spanish and English through a series of cute, lovable characters based on globally recognizable animals.
Ideal for preschool and elementary-level children, Animal Fun encourages kids’ progress through positive reinforcement and helps them pick up new languages quickly and easily. Featuring flash cards, memory games, matching challenges, and more, the game also includes more than 100 vocabulary terms using native accents, as well as the unique ability to record in your own voice on the go. If French, Hindi, or Mandarin is your native language, your kids can learn it along with English and Spanish through a simple, one-tap recording feature.
“Creating a bilingual environment for your kids can give them an edge in today’s competitive world because it enables them to communicate with more people, develop a better understanding of other cultures, and primes their minds for a lifetime of increased cognitive flexibility,” said Helen Chan, Founder of Soybean Street and mom of three preschoolers. “For many parents, myself included, having their kids learn a new language is also about cultural heritage and family value. We founded Soybean Street because I had searched for a language application to help immerse my kids in their heritage, and I had a difficult time finding a good one. So instead we built one”
