About this app

Learn English through fun, animated song and story videos. Safe, ad-free games and activities help your child develop in these key areas in English: reading, listening, speaking and grammar.

Recommended ages: 6–11

OVER 100 QUALITY VIDEOS
Our animated songs and stories are created by the British Council’s language learning experts and grouped into themes like fairy tales, classic children’s songs and grammar chants. Each video comes with subtitles that can be turned on or off to help children read and listen. Download all the videos to watch them whenever you want, even offline!
Videos include: Little Red Riding Hood, Goldilocks, Jack and the Beanstalk, Old MacDonald, The Wheels on the Bus, Incy Wincy Spider and the Tales of Shakespeare.

A LISTEN-AND-RECORD ACTIVITY ENCOURAGES SPEAKING
Each animated video comes with an engaging listen-and-record activity that encourages your child to say and repeat the words from the video, building confidence in speaking over time. Children can listen to the narrator, record themselves and compare their pronunciation with the narrator’s.

GAMES TO IMPROVE SPELLING, UNDERSTANDING AND GRAMMAR
Each pack of animated videos comes with challenging word, grammar and spelling games to help children learn and understand the language they see in the videos.

FOLLOW YOUR CHILD’S PROGRESS
In each pack you can see how your child is progressing in five areas: Videos, Speaking, Spelling, Understanding and Grammar.

AVAILABLE IN MULTIPLE LANGUAGES
The app is available in English, French, Simplified Chinese and Spanish. Go to the Parents’ area to change the language.

We do track how the app is used, such as which games/videos are most popular, but we only use this information to make the app better for your child.

Ratings and reviews

I liked this app and my child loves listening to the tales and songs. Me and my children have family linked account on Google. Tried to purchase in app on my child's tablet. But a message pop up saying " Your family manager won't be able to complete this purchase." Any idea why? Any help is appreciated. I'm going to purchase it once this issue is fixed.

A rather low-budget app with no BGM, reused and delayed sound effecT (yes, just one?), and is basically just links to material you can otherwise pull from the internet. 6-mo subscription price is reasonable... if they actually add original material. Quite disappointing from a reputable organization.

Hello app developers, It's been a while since I wrote to your support team and I haven't received any response about my problem yet. I paid for the 6 months subscription but most videos are still locked for me. I keep seeing a message where I am offered to buy a subscription. Could you please help me? Also would be possible to switch to any more neutral theme for the app? May be just plain color? Thank you for your time.
