Why Starting Early is Key

Why Starting Early is Key

The most current scientific research has proven that babies, toddlers and preschoolers are uniquely equipped to learn one or more languages with ease.

Research also proves that young children who learn a language before the age of five tend to have superior reading, writing, analytical and social skills, as well as more extensive vocabularies than their monolingual peers. Early foreign language acquisition is no longer considered a luxury. It materially contributes to a young child’s cognitive development and also gives him an advantage in the future of our increasingly global marketplace.

Award-winning filmmaker (and mom) Julia Pimsleur Levine created Little Pim to fill a need in the children’s video market for a top-quality, language-learning DVD series for the very young. Working with a team of filmmakers, animators, childhood development experts, linguists and an advising neuroscientist, Julia invested three years to develop the most comprehensive language series designed specifically for this age group.

With Little Pim, parents can now take full advantage of their young child’s natural, yet brief, proclivity for learning languages. For more information about kids’ language learning, see What Scientists Say.
