## What is LinguPinguin LITE?

Language-learning app for preschoolers

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 LinguPingu, curious children encounter a playful approach to learning foreign languages.

The features of the full version of LinguPingu are:
Nine instead of two 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!

The nine different themes in the full version are: animals, transportation, food, body, farm, toys, nature, clothes, and apartment.

The appealing illustrations and quality animation offered in this app were executed by a team of professional animation and design experts. Even for adult travelers, tourists or anyone interested in languages, LinguPingu is an amusing tool to get in touch with a foreign language.

"There aren’t many foreign language teaching apps out there and LinguPingu is extremely well developed. Nice animations, cute illustrations, really simple and easy to use. And the LinguPingu series comes in several different language options." [iphone4kids.net 08/2011]

### 1/5 — Broken

*2020-12-29, version 4.1*

I wish this app worked. The words for each object are wrong. Click “bus” and you get “trash can,” etc. Beautiful, simple graphics, but unusable.

### 1/5 — Badly built

*2020-12-09*

All the expressions are mixed up. No one checking???

### 1/5 — Consistently wrong

*2020-06-02, version 4.1*

Game calls a bus an airplane and an airplane a train. The errors are consistent regardless of language, but the errors make this confusing for our children since the image doesn’t match the words being spoken. Would not recommend this application in the current state. Should be easy for the developers to fix. Not sure how this passed any kind of testing.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2019-09-06*

None of the words match the picture ! No one will learn with this app - terrible! A real shame - the pictures are cute.

### 1/5 — f l o p

*2019-03-15*

it told me a lion was called a crocodile and a train was called a trashcan

### 1/5 — Useless

*2019-01-18*

Nice idea but the German expressions are all mixed

### 1/5 — Absolute FAIL!!!

*2018-04-11*

Tap the lion and it says - crocodile, tap on the car and it says train> who the heck made this app??? ridiculous

### 1/5 — Mr Albion

*2014-03-29*

Please be aware that despite the use of the British flag, American English is used in this game and not English English. Words like trash can are never used in Britain.
Not what I was looking for. The accent is poor too. Not good for children to copy.

### 1/5 — No sound

*2012-10-16, version 1.3.2*

Downloaded it twice, sound didn't work either time.

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2012-09-14, version 1.3.2*

As a native speaker I'm teaching our son (21 mos) both German and English and this app is very helpful with both. Perfect pronunciation, cute animation and a great variety of topics for the little ones. It's also very easy to switch between both languages. I'd recommend this as a go-to app even for adults dabbling with German for the first time. There is a free version to try first, too.
