## What is Pierrot?

This app offers English vocabulary practice for toddlers and preschoolers in a playful way. It consists of two puzzle solving games and two spelling games that serve as a means to learn a variety of words suitable for toddlers and preschoolers. 
An essential part of the game is learning how to pronounce words in English by using the microphone to instantly evaluate children's spoken word.

The picture words are provided in several collections that are arranged into three groups according to their level of difficulty.
