Bridge to English
Bridge to English Fairy Tale Learning

The creation of products for children aged 0 to 5 was inspired by research in the area of early learning undertaken by British educationalists and also by their counterparts in Japan and the USA. The principal theory of these educationalists is that in early childhood there is no difference between the native and a foreign language. All languages are equally native or equally foreign to this age group. Children of this age have a unique ability to absorb, analyze and remember any amount of information.

“Many things are impossible to acquire unless learned during infancy … the development in intelligence from birth to three equals the development from the ages of four to seventeen … a baby who hears fairy tales over and over again grows up to be a toddler and begins to show an interest in a picture-story, then in the characters of the alphabet and is finally impelled to do the reading by himself … the point is not to make the child understand the content … but to have him develop a learning pattern as he listens repeatedly to the right pronunciation, accent and intonation of the language.”

Masaru Ibuka, founder of the SONY corporation and the Japanese Early Development Association, from his book “Kindergarten is Too Late” 1969

“It is possible to teach babies to read … it is easier to teach a one-year-old to read than it is to teach a seven-year-old … Once you begin to teach your child to read, you will find that your child goes through new material very quickly … parents are always astonished at how quickly their children learn.”

Glenn Doman, director of The Institutes for the Achievement of Human Potential, USA from the book “How to Multiply Your Baby’s Intelligence : The Gentle Revolution” 2005 by Glenn and Janet Doman

We have found that interactive video DVD disks is the only suitable format for learning products for this age group. You cannot sit a one or two year old child in front of the computer whereas he or she will quite happily watch educational films on the TV, lying or sitting on the floor or standing in a playpen or cot. If such small children cannot yet use the DVD handset to choose the right answer in the interactive exercises, they can simply point their finger at the picture on the TV screen and one of their parents can press the corresponding buttons on the handset to help the child complete the exercise.


Bridge to English Fairy Tale Learning is a series of interactive DVD disks to help children aged 0 to 5 years old to learn English as their first or second language.

“Bridge to English Fairy Tale Learning”, a series of video-books, is unique because of the following factors:

1. We have used new Interactive DVD technology. A child can watch these disks on any DVD player, from the most simple model to one as complicated as a computer.
2. The products in this series will help children begin talking, and then reading in English without too much effort from their parents.

Each video-book in the Bridge to English Fairy Tale Learning range is based on traditional folk and fairy tales and comprises one DVD disk to play on your TV via your DVD player. This disk is for children aged 8 months to 5 years and contains cartoon films of the fairy tales as well as interactive learning exercises, suitable for different age groups within the above range.

At first parents should help their children operate the DVD remote but soon the children will be able to operate the various buttons on the DVD handset themselves. Small children cannot sit in front of a computer but they feel comfortable in front of the TV. The learning method employed in Bridge to English Fairy Tale Learning video-books is simple and effective, using a variety of fairy tales and multiple repetitions of the same words and phrases in a fun context and a game format.
