The science behind the Dinolingo method
Since 2010, our dedication has been to the development of language learning programs for kids.
We employ a variety of enjoyable and fun teaching techniques such as videos, games, audio books, songs, stories, music, as well as offline activities like flashcards and worksheets.
1. Full Immersion
Children naturally learn a foreign language from DinoLingo videos because they hear common phrases and vocabulary hundreds of times without any interruption. The total immersion method is used on the program, where there are no translations or confusion for children.
Imagination and repetition capture a child’s interest in learning and development.
2. Contextual Variation
Each of the foreign language learning words used in DinoLingo programs is presented to the listener in at least 4 different contexts. In addition, unlike other programs, DinoLingo repeats words intermittently and not just consecutively which triggers the child’s memory development.
3. High-Pitched Female Voices
Scientific studies show that babies and young children identify best with high-pitched voices, otherwise known as “motherese” or child-directed speech. We have worked with female and child actors with high-pitched vocals for this reason.
4. Pronunciation
DinoLingo language programs are recorded by native speakers of each language.
5. Subtitles
At DinoLingo, we know that most parents want to be able to read the captions in both the local characters of target language as well as the English (Latin) alphabet. We provide this to you as are the facilitator helping your child understand their new language.
6. Neonate Characters
DinoLingo uses animated characters that have baby-like faces. There are no monstrous, scary or wild characters in DinoLingo products since they are age appropriate.
7. Gradual Interval Recall
Each target word DinoLingo introduces is timed to be presented at different intervals, triggering memory (e.g. The word ‘car’ is presented in the 5th minute, the 10th minute, and again in the 30th minute).
8. Animism
Research shows that small children have a tendency to believe that all objects are alive (e.g. talking and dancing cars). DinoLingo features many lively objects that capture the children’s attention and curious imagination.
9. Sudden Surprises
To capture the little ones attention, DinoLingo uses some scientific techniques such as sudden appearance and disappearances, sudden pans, zoom-ins and unfamiliar sounds. This keeps a young mind interested and busy as they learn along.
10. Optimum Combination Of 3D/2D Animation
Recent studies have shown that children prefer to watch animations over real-life footage. Designed to capture your child’s attention, 80% of DinoLingo videos are presented as either 3D or 2D animations.
Four Pillars of the Dinolingo Program
The Immersion Method
Dinolingo’s immersion method helps children learn a new language naturally, without translations. This approach prevents confusion for young learners who haven’t yet developed reading or writing skills, allowing them to pick up meaning through context and repetition—just like in real life.
Surprising Effects and Sounds
Dinolingo incorporates fun sound effects and visuals designed to engage children and keep their attention. While these may seem noisy to adults, they create an exciting and playful atmosphere that encourages active participation, ensuring the program is both educational and entertaining.
Repeated Exposure
Dinolingo uses a proven repetition method, introducing words and phrases at strategic intervals across videos, games, and activities. For example, the word “cat” first appears alone, then in phrases like “a cat and a dog,” and repeatedly in various contexts such as games, quizzes, flashcards, and worksheets to reinforce learning effectively.
Engagement, and Rewards
Dinolingo’s reward system motivates children to stay engaged by allowing them to collect stars and dinosaurs as they progress. This gamified approach encourages kids to keep learning by watching more videos, playing games, and completing lessons, all while enjoying a sense of achievement.
