キッズ英語発音

This app uses a unique “gairaigo” method of teaching your child Japanese and English vocabulary and pronunciation invented by university professor James Rogers (learn more about him and the other apps at www.smartsmart.org).

It prioritizes a Japanese child’s need to first master Japanese. Although this app was made for Japanese learners, a native English speaking young child could also use this app to learn Japanese as well. By teaching pronunciation with both the English word and its Japanese counterpart, your child will learn Japanese at the same time as they learn English. Research has proven that exposing your child to the sounds of English at a young age will enable them to have good pronunciation when they grow older. This app also teaches a child their first 100 words of English and Japanese with pictures. The words are presented in a game. The child hears either the Japanese or English pronunciation of word (such as “table” and “テーブル”) and they must choose correctly which one they heard. After ten correct answers, the child is rewarded with a short video (such as a cute dog and cat playing with each other, etc.). The app contains 50 videos, so it should provide endless entertainment for your child as well.
