Little Pim iPhone App Teaches Foreign Language

Little Pim, the award-winning DVD language series that makes it easy and fun to introduce young children in a foreign language, just launched its first application for the Apple iPhone. The application, "Little Pim Word Bag," is designed for children ages 1-4, and is the first children’s iPhone application tied directly to an educational DVD language learning series.

"Little Pim Word Bag," developed by Animax, is an interactive word game featuring Little Pim the panda. The game uses adorable artwork, music and sound effects to teach children 27 everyday vocabulary words in a second language – French or Spanish.

"Word Bag" costs $1.99 to download and can be used on both an iPhone and an iPod. This application is the newest product in the Little Pim line, which includes the DVD series, flash cards and CDs.

Products are sold on the website, www.LittlePim.com, on Amazon.com, and in Barnes & Noble stores, and more than 200 other retail outlets across the country. The company is currently working with PBS to create the first foreign language teaching game for its subscription website, PBS Kidsplay.
