It is the story of Billy, an Asian American child who loves adventures, and his adorable dog BenBoo. Our language teaching methodology is embedded in this funny and exciting story, which features a modernized fable. You will enjoy this video almost as much as your child.

The Language Tree Teaching Method

Every Language Tree product uses our unique Multi-Cognition Approach™, developed by a cognitive scientist from Stanford University. This methodology stresses three learning techniques: 1) repetition, 2) deep thinking, and 3) clustering. The net result is that your child will be able to learn more conversational phrases, more quickly, and he or she will be able to better retain what has been taught.

New phrases are repeated multiple times, providing several opportunities for your child to speak the phrases aloud and pronounce the words correctly. In addition to this first level of processing (verbalization), the Language Tree method takes learning to the next level by encouraging your child to think actively about the meaning of the phrases, which leads to better recall. Lastly, because a barrage of phrases can be difficult to remember at one time, the Multi-Cognition Approach™ divides the number of phrases to be remembered by grouping them together into small clusters per scene. The Multi-Cognition Approach™ is a scientifically based way of maximizing language learning and memory.
