GrowStoryGrow 1 : First Words

Enjoy the GrowStoryGrow app with your toddler and help them to grow up with a second language.
Watch your children giggle, sigh, cry, laugh out loud, think and learn. Play with them on the app and help them take the first steps towards speaking English, French, Spanish, German, Mandarin or Brazilian Portuguese. Have fun learning together.

These are critical years when little ones learn language so naturally. Don’t miss the opportunity to get started on learning a second language at home from the very earliest moments. Discover simple stories together, inspire your child to learn a language you know and love or learn along with your child if the language is new to you too.  Being bilingual has so many advantages, helping your child to develop, learn and communicate.

The stories are based around the words that get used in language again and again – the simple, everyday words that your child will already be learning in a first language. Help them develop an aptitude for languages and give their overall development a boost as you teach them a second language too.

Help your child take the first steps in learning a second language and enjoy a rich family experience as you learn along with them.

Bilingual is good

Speaking two languages rather than one can give children a real boost, right from the start. As well as the obvious benefits of being able to communicate with more people, learning two languages could have a positive effect on the brain, improving all round cognitive skills.


Starting young

Learning a new language can be a great adventure for parents and children. Current research shows the many advantages of being bilingual and the importance of introducing a second language as early as possible.
