Developed by moms, top language teachers, and neuroscientists, Little Pim’s Entertainment Immersion Method® Makes it easy and Fun for kids to learn.

At Little Pim, we understand how children learn. We developed the Entertainment Immersion Method® based on how children naturally acquire language. Little Pim videos engage little ones by tapping into their natural love of play and learning.  Each video teaches child-friendly vocabulary based around a theme. They’ll learn words such as cake, doll, train,  and simple phrases,  as well as numbers 1-10.

Episodes are perfectly paced for young children and strategic repetition of vocabulary helps kids retain the new words and phrases. Kids respond enthusiastically to Little Pim’s combination of animated and live-action videos. Videos are segmented into 5-minute episodes to accommodate a young child’s attention span. Children love following along with Little Pim, the adorable cartoon panda bear who serves as the “teacher.” Together with Little Pim, your child can learn 360 words and phrases, providing the essential building blocks for language learning. Each of our educational videos has a unique child friendly theme, such as eating, playtime and feelings. The program helps children acquire a new vocabulary and a near-native accent.

A Natural Way to Learn a Second Language

Our Entertainment Immersion Method® engages a child’s natural love of play and learning through repetition. The more they watch, the more they learn. Simple sentences are broken down into easy-to-understand parts and are reinforced through repetition by native speakers. You only need 500 words to be considered “conversational” in a language. With Little Pim’s method, your child can learn over 360 words and phrases, providing the essential building blocks for language learning.

Designed For Kids under the age of 6

Scientific research shows that learning a foreign language comes naturally for children when they start at an early age. Our program is specifically designed to promote language learning for children from ages 1 to 6 – the time when their brains are hard-wired to learn up to 3 languages with ease.

Not only is it the first comprehensive at home program, it can be used effectively by parents even if they don’t speak a foreign language.

We provide parents with a comprehensive program to help their child learn a foreign language even if the language is new to them too. Our companion guides and scripts make it easy for parents to follow along with their children.

Behind the Method

Julia Pimsleur grew up bilingual in French and English and wanted to teach her own sons French, which led her to create the Little Pim series so that all children can start learning a second language at the age they learn best.

Pimsleur sought to create a program that would delight and teach young children a foreign language at the same time. Working with leading neuroscientist Dr. April Benasich (Director of the Rutgers Infancy Studies Lab), to language teachers and native language experts, she spent several years developing the Little Pim language program.

Not only is it the first comprehensive at home program, it can be used effectively by parents even if they don’t speak a foreign language.

Julia is the daughter of Dr. Paul Pimsleur, creator of the Pimsleur Method, a popular language learning program for adults.

The Research-Backed Benefits

Little Pim’s program supports foreign language learning which multiple studies have shown improves memory and analytic abilities and strengthens problem solving skills. The program helps children acquire a new vocabulary and a near-native accent. Our unique Entertainment Immersion Method® immerses children completely in a foreign language. Study after study shows that from birth to age six, the human brain is optimally equipped for learning and producing language. Little Pim was specifically created for young children to be able to take full advantage of this window for learning.
