PERA PERA KADO
Idea
Staying motivated when learning a new language is key to making progress. Yet, many struggle to build a habit of using their new language daily - or simply tread water inside an app.
Approach
Encourage learning through accessible, fun activities that encourage exploration and activation of the language. At the same time, lower the mental barrier to getting started. Bring back the fun!
HOW IT WORKS
With Pera Pera cards, roll the dice - and try to complete one of the activities!
There are three card types: Reading, Listening or Speaking.
For example, with this Reading card - if you roll a 5, you're encouraged to look up some teenage slang.
MAKE THE NEW LANGUAGE PART OF YOUR LIFE
The secret to learning - is to use the language as your own.
I've collected a diverse set of activities meant to surprise you, and help you stumble upon new joys and pleasures through your language journey.
In time, you'll naturally form new habits and explore naturally on your own.
"HELP ME TO DO IT BY MYSELF"
I was inspired by Maria Montessori's approach to pedagogy and learning - which is very focused on creativity, play and independence.

Storytelling and play are the most powerful ways we can engage each other, especially when learning something confusing.
