Download "Learn Chinese: Toy Story 3 — Disney Language Learning" for $4.99 to your iPad, and you and your children can read the familiar story in English and Mandarin Chinese, word by word. This app, released in March, is Disney's first digital language learning product in a planned series to teach key English and Mandarin grammar and vocabulary, a news release said.
Designed like an interactive picture book with drawings, sound effects and music, the app starts with a speaker reading aloud "Toy Story 3" in English, while children see the words and turn pages by swiping fingers.
Level 2 introduces 25 percent Chinese words mixed in with 75 percent English. Level 3 is half and half on up to Level 5, which reads the story out loud in all Chinese. This way of gradually increasing the foreign language follows an international teaching method known as "Diglot Weave," Disney officials said.
