Learn to Talk – The App

Every parent dreams of hearing their child’s First Words. That magical moment when “mama” or “dada” first crosses their lips is unforgettable. But for many families, the journey to those First Words can feel overwhelming, filled with questions and uncertainty.

But don’t panic, help is here! Drawing on over 20 years’ experience producing Preschool Learning Media, Oxbridge Baby has created a revolutionary app that can help transform this journey from one of waiting and wondering to one of active and joyful learning.

‘Learn to Talk’ isn’t just another kid’s app – it’s a unique First Word learning tool designed for babies, toddlers, and speech-delayed children. Created after years of development, this groundbreaking app combines age-appropriate learning techniques with engaging content to provide an environment where language naturally flourishes.

At the heart of the app is our exclusive 25-part ‘Learn to Talk – The Series’, a unique and revolutionary approach to early communication that you won’t find anywhere else.

Building upon the success of the original ‘Learn to Talk DVD’, which has helped countless children say their first words, the videos in ‘Learn to Talk – The Series’ are packed full of fun and learning while seamlessly integrating Baby Sign Language.

Our innovative Baby Sign Language integration provides crucial support for communication before verbal speech develops.

This foundational approach helps reduce frustration and builds confidence as your child masters early expression skills. Through Baby Sign Language, the parent-child bond is strengthened while at the same time accelerating language understanding.

In addition to our preschool learning videos and series, the ‘Learn to Talk App’ also features our brand-new Interactive Flash Card Quiz’s, designed to make learning First Words even more engaging for your little one!

This innovative feature lets children explore 12 categories of everyday objects, animals, and common words through an interactive matching game that builds crucial language connections.

The quiz’s offer two learning modes that support different developmental stages. Children can either listen to the spoken word or hear the associated sounds (like an animal noise), then match it to the correct colourful image.

This multi-sensory approach strengthens the vital connections between sounds, words, and visual recognition that form the foundation of early language development.

As your child plays, they’re actively building vocabulary, improving listening skills, and developing the confidence to begin expressing themselves verbally.

The ‘Learn to Talk’ app transforms your device into a powerful First Word learning tool packed full of benefits for your little one including:

Auditory Learners

For children who learn best through listening, we provide crystal-clear sound production and carefully structured rhythm and repetition. Our musical elements can help enhance memory and engagement, while specific sound recognition activities build crucial pre-speech skills.

Through listening games and vocal practice opportunities, children can develop strong auditory processing abilities ready for speech development.

Kinaesthetic Learners

Active learners will thrive with our movement-based learning approach. interactive elements encourage physical engagement throughout the learning process, while action songs and dance elements make learning naturally engaging.

This approach ensures that children who learn best through movement have multiple opportunities to engage with language development physically.

While ‘Learn to Talk’ was originally created to help babies and toddlers say their first words, over the years we have also seen extensive use by parents of speech delayed children.

Our content works on multiple levels for children of all ages with some key benefits for speech delayed children including:

Always remember to:

Be Patient and Observant: Watch for cues and pay attention to your baby’s attempts to communicate. They may start by mimicking gestures or making sounds.

Celebrate Small Wins: Every attempt to communicate, whether through Sounds, Signs or Actions is a step forward. Celebrate these moments to build confidence.

Create a Language-Rich Environment: Talk to your little one and engage in conversations with them throughout the day. Even if they don’t respond with words yet, they’re always listening and learning.

Limit Screen Time: Yes, we know we make amazing preschool learning videos for children but always remember to balance screen time with plenty of face-to-face interaction, which is crucial for early language development. We live in a world of digital media, and this only increases as children get older, but too much screen time is never advised (this goes for all of us!) and nothing beats real world interactions.

By combining videos like ‘Learn to Talk – The Series’ with Baby Sign Language, interactive play and consistent, descriptive communication, you can help your little one learn to say their First Words.

And remember, every child develops at their own pace, so be patient, keep the experience exciting and engaging and most importantly, have fun when you Learn to Talk!
