What This Builds
- Language and communication: Roman-script phonetics plus a QR code to native-speaker audio turn see-and-say moments into confident first words.
- Social-emotional intelligence: Friendly, everyday scenes build pride, empathy, and “we can learn from each other” conversations.
- Memory and focus: Repeating three words for the day and spotting them again in the pictures—and in the dust-jacket search-and-find—strengthens recall and sustained attention without feeling like a lesson.
- Fine motor skills: Coloring the full illustration inside the dust jacket and pointing to tiny picture details build pencil grasp, control, and careful hand movements.
- Family rituals: A cozy 5-minute “listen, repeat, use it at dinner” routine (three words a day) makes language learning predictable and fun.

FAQs
We don't speak Konkani at home. Can we still use this?
Absolutely.
The Roman-script phonetics and the QR-code audio are designed so you can learn with your child. Model curiosity (“Let’s tap and try it together”) and celebrate
close-enough attempts. Kids love being the “teacher” when they remember a word
first—your enthusiasm matters more than perfection.
Does learning another language really help brain development?
Yes.
Early language exposure strengthens sound discrimination, memory, and attention, and supports cognitive flexibility (switching
between ideas). Even 5–10 minutes a day builds pathways for reading and
learning—think of it as a playful brain workout that also boosts confidence.
Will this help my child connect with a culture and its people?
Yes.
Words come with stories—foods, places, greetings—which open warm conversations
with family and friends. Even for families new to Konkani, trying a few words shows respect and builds empathy for other cultures and languages.
