## What is Plingo?

Welcome to Plingo: a rich and immersive educational experience! This application has been carefully crafted by language learning experts, especially (but not only) for those learning English as a second language (ESL).

Plingo contains several ‘mini-games’ designed to be engaging and instructive. Players will learn the following:
- Listening - Most of the mini-games provide spoken challenges and feedback with a wide range of characters. Players' ears will quickly get used to recognizing words, grammatical constructs, and the general “feel” of English.
- Speaking - That’s right, in some mini-games players control the action by speaking, starting with simple individual words and, over time, entire sentences!  Our cutting-edge, industry-leading speech recognition has been rigorously tested with players from almost every country, mother-tongue, and dialect, and has over 99% accuracy in our controlled, pre-launch testing.
- Vocabulary - With over 3000+ words and phrases, with new ones added every week, players effortlessly build a strong vocabulary in no time! 
- Reading - Most of the mini-games offer both reading and listening, allowing players to get comfortable with each skill!
- Pronunciation (coming soon) - Players will systematically learn all 44 phonemes of English (the fundamental sounds of the language). They will deconstruct words they hear, assemble words from their basic phonemes, and learn how to correctly pronounce the phonemes before they develop an unnatural accent they may never be able to get rid of.


 Peripheral Learning
Research clearly shows that the best way to learn a language is by immersing yourself in various activities that require that language. Our Peripheral Learning approach is unique in the market and has extraordinary efficacy—players barely notice that they are using an educational app! Instead of mastering arbitrary game mechanics and terms of other games (what good is it to learn the word “obsidian” in Minecraft?), players effortlessly master the English language as they progress through the levels of our games.


Who can use Plingo?
While the game has been specially designed for learners in countries where English is not the first language,  we have also seen users from all locations and backgrounds enjoy and learn with Plingo. Some of our best feedback has come from:
India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Philippines, Egypt, Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, Japan, Korea, France, Spain, Germany, Italy, Brazil, Argentina, Colombia and South America, Russia, Israel, Scandinavia, Iran, Saudi Arabia, UAE and the Middle East, and more!
