-TULIP Language Games-
-----------------------------

As many adults know, learning a language as an adult can be very difficult and one often never achieves native fluency. Linguists posit the existence of a Critical Period - a time frame in early childhood during which humans must be exposed to a language in order to achieve native proficiency.

Many parents who speak underrepresented languages encounter numerous challenges in passing on their language to their children. For children to want to learn, they need engaging materials and the sense that learning a language will open them up to fun and exciting experiences. This game is but one in a growing series which we hope provides exactly that! Tools for Underrepresented Language Immersion and Preservation (or TULIP for short) is fueled by a desire to promote the use of heritage languages among youth via the creation of fun language learning materials. Our games provide children with a passive language experience so that they do not even realize that they are practicing!

Many thanks to the Carolina Asia Center, Ben Frey, and the New Kituwah Academy for their invaluable help with this project!
