4 min Learning should be smart and fun, especially when you’re learning a new language. In fact, one study found that 91% of students prefer fun when they learn while another found that students get better marks when their teachers have fun. Positivity and enjoyment help you learn more, faster (and make you healthier). Now, imagine if you could have fun and learn English for free at the same time?
This is why Novakid acquired Lingumi – to make interactive lessons and English learning affordable on a fun and intelligent platform.
Smart and engaging interactive lessons
What does it mean to provide high-quality English education to young learners?
For Novakid it’s about creating blended learning spaces. There is the human-centred approach that defines Novakid’s ethos – we have native English-speaking tutors who love what they do and connect with kids in online classrooms. Then, there are the artificial intelligence (AI)-powered interactive learning tools that make it fun for learners to play around with the language and create their own learning journeys.
Lingumi is AI-powered and engaging. It offers interactive lessons on a game-based learning platform that simplifies English lessons. The technology helps learners have smart conversations in English in hundreds of lessons that are aligned with CEFR standards.
It’s also the perfect way to learn English for free. Why?
Because Lingumi offers:
- Freemium – Novakid is using the Lingumi technology to create a freemium app that gives learners access to key English learning tools at a free or low price point.
- Age appropriate – Lingumi and Novakid are allowing students as young as two years old to learn English for free.
- Self-paced – kids can move at their own speed and enjoy their lessons.
- Online access – native English teachers with quality English learning
- Gamification – a fun environment enhanced with age-appropriate gaming features that make learning an experience.
