Plingo

Give your child the gift of English: Turn screen time into fun learning time!

Welcome to Plingo, a rich and immersive educational experience! This app has been carefully crafted by language learning experts, especially—though not exclusively—for children learning English as a second language (ESL).

How does my child learn?

Plingo features a collection of engaging and instructive mini-games. Your child will develop these core skills:

★ Listening - Spoken challenges and feedback from a diverse cast of characters train your child's ear. They'll quickly learn to recognize words, grammar structures, and the natural rhythm of English.

★ Speaking - Yes! In some games, your child controls the action by speaking, starting with simple words and progressing to full sentences. Our industry-leading speech recognition technology has been rigorously tested with children from nearly every country and language background, achieving over 99% accuracy in controlled pre-launch tests.

★ Vocabulary - With over 5,000 words and phrases—and new ones added weekly—your child will build a strong vocabulary effortlessly and rapidly.

★ Reading - Mini-games combine reading and listening practice, helping your child grow comfortable with both skills.

★ Pronunciation - Many students pick up incorrect pronunciation early, forming an unnatural accent that becomes hard to lose. Plingo prevents this by helping your child speak like a native! The app systematically teaches the 40 phonemes of English—the language's essential sounds. Your child will learn to deconstruct words they hear, assemble words from phonemes, and master correct pronunciation.

Peripheral Learning

Research consistently shows that language is best learned through immersive, activity-based practice. Plingo’s unique Peripheral Learning method is extremely effective—your child will hardly notice they're using an educational app! Instead of mastering random terms in other games (how useful is "Obsidian" from Minecraft in real life?), they'll effortlessly master English as they progress through our game levels.
