I like to introduce Spanish to my son who already learned to read English with Little Reader. But before buying the Spanish curriculum, I'd like to download the free trial for Spanish. But I don't find it anywhere on the website. Could you help, please?

Hi, My name is Thierry, from France but I live in Japan.

My son Ken successfully learned to read English and to some extend Chinese kanjis. He enjoys Little Musician time to time but he never hooked up to Little Math. Maybe it was too late already for him. He was 2 years and half when we started Brillkids Little Reader and Little Mah.

So coming to my point, I have been amazed always about kids from Hong Kong and Singapore. I heard one time about a kid finishing university at the age when kids normally Junior High school. I don't want to give too much pressure on my son, but how you guys manage to get your kids inspire to learn mathematics.

Enlight me, please.

I live in Japan and work in public elementary schools as an English teacher. Maybe the students you are talking about are the ones who go to private schools or cram a lot to enter good schools.

Personnally, if I had the means, I would rather send my son to an international school. Succeeding and passing examinations is not a mark of success, but rather how you use that knowledge practically, not such random knowledge that you will soon forget, once the examination is finish.

Teaching students to think by themselves, to be more confident in expressing themselves in speaking and writing, etc is something that we need here in Japan.
 

Hi, everyone.

My name is Thierry and my son Ken has been now reading well with Little Reader but he has never been interested much in Little Math.

He is now almost 4 and I wonder if I could restart to use Little Math with him. Is it not too late for him? How about if he is still not interested?

Looking forward for some good advice.

Hi everyone,


I am a member from Briilkids from Oct 2010 and my son Ken who started to use Little Reader at that time could achieve to read fluently in a little more than a year.

Could I get my 13-year-old son to learn English in the same way using Little Reader?

In anticipation.

Hi there,

I want to buy the Piano Wizard Academy Package but is the offer for Brillkids members already closed?

Also, I am posting a comment from someone who bought the software. It will be great if someone can enlight me about the points he is raising.

1. It doesn't have the option to first play the song so you know what the song sounds like.
2. You cannot go over a selection in the song you are learning to practice just that selection.
3. When you have started a song, you have to finish it, cannot stop midway.
4. It only tells you if you have hit the right key, but if you didn't - either you missed that key, or hit the wrong key - you have no way to go back and try again as it has moved on to the next note.
4. The 'notes' keep moving across the screen, they don't sit still giving you a chance to try to get it right.
5. It doesn't give you any feedback as to where you can improve or areas you need to work on."

In anticipation,

Tieri
