Disney Publishing Worldwide has launched its first language learning product, Learn Chinese: Toy Story 3. The app will be available in the U.S., China, Australia, and 25 additional countries throughout Europe and Asia.
The first in a series of storybooks that teach learning, the app contains multiple versions of Toy Story 3, gradually transforming from English to Chinese, mixing the new with the known by playing with five levels of the story: English only, Beginning Chinese (25%), Intermediate (50%), Advanced (75), 100% Chinese.
Learn Chinese: Toy Story 3, which is based on the pedagogical approach to language learning called Diglot Weave, includes professional bilingual narration across all levels, including music and sound effects; pronunciation of individual words available; audio and visual translations of individual words available with an easy-to-use translator; and voice recording to practice and compare pronunciation with the narrator.
