For the past four years my son has been enrolled in a language immersion school, learning both Spanish and Mandarin. My husband and I have been on the hunt for realistic options to further continue his foreign language development. I mean if he forgets it, all of that money, not to mention time, would go down the drain. His school is over 30 miles away from our house and it takes on average, an hour each way to get there.
This will be his last year, as he is aging out. His new school will be less than 5 miles away, so we are looking forward to not having to spend 2 hours a day in the car.
Every Chinese program we have found was even further away from our house, so none of them were a viable option for us.
Then we cam across…
Say Hello to Luka!!!
Built with cutting-edge AI technology, Luka reads aloud books put in front of him, page by page, in any order. Luka is a fun interactive reading companion, which helps kids to develop their reading skills in an engaging way, makes kids fall in love with their books – real books – by adding another dimension to the reading experience.
Luka can recognise over 6,000 English, 2,000 Spanish and 30,000 Chinese picture books (and counting!). Besides those books in Luka’s Cloud Library, you can also read and record any picture books by yourself, then Luka will read in your voice.
How awesome is that!!!!
We ordered Luka the very same day. I am usually hesitant to try out new electronic products, but we are desperate. Fingers crossed there won’t be too many kinks and bugs. We were told that the Spanish version wasn’t quite ready yet, but we would be able to update it later.
Luka will arrive before Christmas, in the meantime, we will be collecting more Chinese books. You can see the books we have in our Chinese library here.
