Pingu’s English is an entertaining English language course for young children, based on the popular HIT Entertainment children’s character Pingu™. Already redefining the way young children learn a second language in over twenty countries worldwide, this exciting children’s English program has now arrived in South Korea. Unlike many other English courses, Pingu’s English captures the child’s attention from the start with interesting situations and topics to bring their learning alive. This unique learning system from the UK-based Linguaphone Group covers the four language skills of speaking, writing, reading and listening, helping the child to communicate in a natural and confident way from day one.
Mr Hojin Song, CEO of Glolink Education Inc. said, “We are very happy to have this opportunity to work with a world class company such as Linguaphone Group and bring their famous brand, Pingu’s English to our young children in South Korea. We believe and hope that our partnership with Pingu’s English will create a great synergy effect along with Glolink’s 21 years of experience in children’s education.”
Mr Derek Price, CEO Linguaphone Group said, “We are delighted to announce the forthcoming launch of Pingu’s English in South Korea. We very much look forward to working with Glolink Education Inc. to bring our renowned pre-school English language program to children across South Korea.”
