Linguaphone was founded in 1901 and is among the most established international language schools in the world. Over the last century, millions of people in over 60 countries have upgraded their career and enhanced their lives by learning a new language with The Linguaphone Group. Linguaphone uses a network of trusted licensed partners and distributors to make sure the courses are available to adults and children all over the world. This includes both licensed language schools like Direct English and Pingu’s English. The first to combine written course materials with audio recordings, Linguaphone quickly became an industry leader in international language teaching. Linguaphone’s world-renowned language programs include the Linguaphone, Pingu’s English and Direct English courses.
An award-winning TV show that’s loved by children and parents alike, Pingu™ was chosen for its universal appeal and accessibility, as well as the strong moral message it represents. Pingu’s English was developed following the purchase of exclusive English Language Teaching rights for the Pingu TV series from HIT Entertainment Limited (Mattel, the leading American brand for kids products) in February 2006. Applying over a century of training experience of Linguaphone Group, Pingu’s English combines proven play-based educational techniques with creative activities and high-quality learning resources written by UK experts.
A leader who speaks English effectively and can communicate with people around the world is a valuable leader. English is spoken in more than 90 countries around the world, and more than 1 billion people use English as their first and second language. Pingu's English School aims to develop Lao children into children who can speak English fluently, use a variety of vocabulary and motivate listeners. We want to lay the foundation for Lao children to become good leaders in the future. When it comes to developing children into high-quality adults in the future, we need to develop and nurture children from an early age. Especially language learning, as children's brains develop and grow from 0 to 8 years old. The younger the child the better. They will learn faster and more effectively. I strongly believe that the Pingu's English Laos, designed by a group of linguists with 110 years of experience teaching English, will inspire Lao children to have fun, and enjoy learning English effectively and comprehensively.
