Manufacturer’s description:
Polyglot Junior is an interactive, guided learning system made just for kids. It uses tested and approved lessons and exercises, so young learners can pick up and improve their skills in four major world languages: Arabic, French, German and English.
Learn any Language in Your Language
This interactive CD-ROM lets kids who speak any one of these four languages learn any of the other ones. So English speaking kids can use it to learn Arabic, French or German. Or indeed all three for aspiring polyglots!
When you start the CD-ROM, click on the flag for your native language. That’s the language in which instructions are given. Next, select the language you want to learn. That’s it. Kamy, our helpful multi-lingual spaceboy, will take you through the lessons and activities.
You can switch between different languages of instruction at any time. Got a microphone? Great! Listen to words and phrases on the CD-ROM, then record your voice as you repeat them. Play back your recording and spot the difference.
For each language you start by learning the alphabet. Then jump into vocabulary in a host of different themes, brought to life with animations and sounds.
