The Polyglots at the Concert is set in an Art Deco-style concert venue where the Polyglots are involved in various performances. Children will learn the vocabulary for the days of the week and o'clock times with some extension to half-past times. They will also learn questions such as 'What time?', 'What day?', 'What's the time?' and 'Where?'
Language learning experts emphasise the importance of linking language to culture. To inspire children’s curiosity about French culture, the learning experiences feature cultural items and characters from France. Some of the cultural items can be found in other apps.
