Club Academia Company Limited announces debut of Pingus' English children's English course in Thailand

Club Academia Company Ltd today announces the launch of Pingu’s English – a revolutionary children’s English course for 3-7 year olds in Thailand.

Pingu’s English is a three-level language course that teaches English to young children of 3-7+ years and is based on the globally popular children’s brand, Pingu”. Pingu’s English has been inspired by the mischievous and loveable penguin and his everyday adventures in the South Pole.

This fun, friendly and effective English language course uses a range of multimedia resources and is designed for use within Pingu’s English Schools as well as by parents and children at home. It has been produced by the Linguaphone Group, a world-leading global language training provider with over 108 years experience in the language training market.

Club Academia Company Limited is the Pingu’s English Master Licensee for Thailand. They will launch their flagship South-Pole inspired Pingu’s English School in the new prestigious Central World complex in Bangkok in November. Pre-schools and kindergartens across Thailand will also be able to order Pingu’s English to teach young children everyday English.

Commenting on the introduction of Pingu’s English to the Thai market, Nipat Ungpakornkaew, Managing Director of Club Academic Company Ltd said:

“Pingu’s English combines one of the world’s best-loved television characters with the reputation and experience of the Linguaphone Group, one of the world’s leading language training providers. We believe that with this, along with our existing expertise and commitment to competitive prices and high-level customer service will be a winning combination!”

Clive Sawkins, Chief Executive Officer with the Linguaphone Group said:

“Pingu’s English is revolutionising the way that English is taught to children the world over. There is no doubt that Thai parents see English as essential for their child’s education and future prosperity and we are therefore delighted to be working with Club Academia Co Ltd to help bring Pingu’s English to the Thai market.”

Our Experience with Pingu’s English has been profitable and positive from the first year. We relied on their professionalism and heritage, their staff is always prompt to assist with the latest trends and ideas on the market. We were looking for a brand who can guarantee us quality and a solid method but at the same time would leave us the freedom and flexibility in order to succeed in our challenging and competitive market like the Italian one. We built Pingu’s English project in Italy by mixing their huge international experience in the English training with our knowledge of the Italian market. All this enabled us to do the right decision for our winning investment. Today we have over 40 Pingu’s English centres and thousands of happy children learning English

We at the British Chamber of Commerce worked with Linguaphone Group to find them a new in-market partner for the Korean market. Throughout the engagement we had with Linguaphone Group, we found them to be passionate about education, supremely professional in their approach to business and both responsive and personable in their interactions with ourselves and Korean partners. Korean investors were attracted to the best-in-class program which Linguaphone Group offers, the strong reputation of the company and the heritage with which it is associated. These are qualities that resonate globally.

Pingu’s English School is not just a school; it is as a second home for my kid. I like it when I see my kid growing and learning in a friendly and safe atmosphere. Most of all, I can see a lot of improvement in his English listening and speaking skills

Piyatida Tudteam

Student's Mother

We love Pingu’s English School because the school gives my son the opportunity to learn and develop different skills, especially English skills. He is excited every time to go to school and is always happy when he comes home.

Sapavoot Preedawipart

Student's Mother

Regarding the teaching method they use a figurative storytelling way of starting the lesson,  trying hard to involve the child and make the them curious about the situation. Tom is very happy to go to Pingu’s English because he perceives the School as a playful moment and not just as a learning moment while at the same time he is learning a new language

Veronica

Now she is studying at Pingu’s English School, my daughter only wants to talk to me in English and she is always singing the songs.

Cristiane Doimo

I knew about Pingu’s English School through a friend. After research about the school, I decided to enroll my daughter and it was one of the best things I could do to her. She loves studying at Pingu’s English and she cannot wait to the day of the class. I also love Pingu's English School, because there she learns by playing and I can see her progress day by day.
