If you’ve been with me from the beginning, you may have realized that I’m currently learning a foreign language. When mommy decided that she wanted me to learn something new, we scoured the website, trying to determine what would be best for me. What we found was Little Pim. We actually did a short review of our learning experience with Little Pim, having purchased the French Backpack Plus edition, which comes complete with the Little Pim Panda. You can check it out. We actually named it Bonjour! My Name is Madison.
Well, of course, mommy did it in French. When it comes to learning a new language, Little Pim has the market covered for us little ones. When the company contacted me about doing a review for them, we were excited. My French is coming along splendidly, and mommy was actually thinking of introducing another language as well. Now, what could we do? Mommy isn’t a big fan of Spanish, which is generally taught in schools anyway, so that was out of the question. Now Italy is on her bucket list of places to visit, so mommy decided that’s what we were going to learn. Since we will be visiting Italy one day, it was time to get a head start on learning the language.
I received the Italian 3 pack volume 1, and I have to say my love of languages has really increased thanks to Little Pim.
The Italian 3-Pak (Vol. 1) provides the perfect road map to begin your child’s language learning journey. With this 3-video, 21-episode set, your child can learn more than 180 basic Italian words and phrases.
- Video 1: Eating and Drinking

Research has shown that children learn languages naturally when they start at an early age. Their cognitive and verbal skills are also a lot better. That’s why Little Pim is designed to teach kids at the time they learn best under the age of six. Little Pim makes it so easy to learn. Their interactive Panda totally engages me, and I couldn’t tear my eyes away from the TV screen. As soon as I saw Little Pim, I ran and got my own Little Pim Panda that I know is associated with the show.
While you’re sitting watching TV and learning, you won’t even know it because it’s so much fun. I was learning without even realizing it. I had no idea that it would have been so easy. No, I can’t read, but seeing the item on the screen along with hearing it reinforces what they are trying to teach to me. Seeing children do everyday things that I do as well really brings it home for me. It will work for your little one as well. It’s what makes Little Pim great for little ones.
Now mommy knows that I’m comprehending because she would say a word in Italian, and I would immediately know what it is in English. All thanks to Little Pim. It has only been a few weeks, but my Italian language skills have totally blossomed, just like my French. I love the Little Pim series and can’t wait to get another one of their languages. After all, you’re never too young to learn, as mommy always says. Little Pim gets my Two Tiny Thumbs Up!
