Our mission

Children are naturally incredibly talented: they learn new languages effortlessly. Until the age of eight, their brains are exceptionally sensitive to language, allowing them to grow up playing multiple languages. And that is important, because those who speak more languages have more opportunities. At school. At work. In life.

That is why, in addition to our books and songs, we have developed a language app especially for children who cannot yet read and write. But we are more than a learning method. We have a big mission. A mission to give every child, wherever they grow up, access to the power of language.

Language belongs to everyone

Children ask of their own accord in the morning if they can play with the app again.

Jungle the Bungle is a playful, educational app that visibly motivates my young learners. The best part? Children ask to play the app again in the morning of their own accord. The tasks are challenging, fun, and suitable for the target audience, making learning enjoyable and effortless!

The app is being successfully used with NT2 learners in groups 1 to 4. Pupils learn new Dutch words through play. The engaging design, differentiation, varied games and sounds intrinsically motivate them. A significant advantage is that the words are clearly pronounced before each game, which supports vocabulary development. The app is also well-suited for home use. Children can practise independently or with their parents, which is not only educational for the pupils but also actively involves parents in language development. Communication with Jungle The Bungle is seamless: feedback is requested and listened to, and the app continues to develop with equal opportunities for every child as its aim. In short, Jungle The Bungle is a motivating and effective app that teachers, pupils and parents are very enthusiastic about!

Jungle the Bungle was immediately liked by the children. The programme is clear, playful and well applicable in the classroom. They were able to work with it independently and remained super motivated. So enthusiastic, in fact, that some of them continued working with it at home. Really nice to see!

Over the past few weeks, I had the opportunity to try out Jungle the Bungle in my newcomer class. The app was immediately well received by the children. The cheerful characters and games are very appealing and the reward system is motivating. As a teacher, I like that the app is adaptive and that pupils can continue practising Dutch independently and in a casual way. A plus is that they can also work with the app at home. I have therefore become enthusiastic and look forward to further developments of this language app!

In all our kindergarten groups, we use Jungle the Bungle to offer foreign-speaking and multilingual children additional support in learning the Dutch language. A big plus is that the app also allows children to expand their vocabulary at home. In addition, they find the game incredibly fun to play, which makes the learning process extra stimulating. A real win-win situation!

This language app is super handy for all newcomers so they can learn Dutch in a fun way. Also super nice that children can continue practising at home with their parents.

Super app for younger students to practise Dutch and English both at school and at home

Nice change to be able to do something so fun at school. What I notice as a teacher is that they learn a new language very quickly. At an older age, this is much more difficult.

From word web to autumn walk: this is how vocabulary comes to life

Autumn offers plenty of opportunities to work on vocabulary both inside and outside the classroom. Think of a word web in the classroom, an autumn walk with a friend, or a book club meeting.

The PISA scores are a warning: language development starts much earlier

The latest PISA results once again show a worrying trend: the reading proficiency of Dutch young people is under pressure. A significant group of 15-year-olds struggle with reading skills that are important

About us

Hi, hello, hola....We are Amber and Carolina, the driving forces behind Jungle the Bungle. Our big dream is to make as many children as possible happy with our books, with the Jungle the Bungle language app or with our cheerful songs. With Jungle the Bungle, children learn new languages very fun and easily. There are currently two multilingual children's books available suitable for toddlers, pre-schoolers and preschoolers. And behind the scenes we are working hard on an interactive language app, in cooperation with EarlyBird so that children learn Dutch, English or Spanish in a playful way.

Playful learning

Scientific research shows that children who are exposed to multiple languages at an early age benefit in many areas. No wonder more and more schools are starting to offer a second language, such as English or Spanish, from grade 1.

Support disadvantaged children

Our opinion? That every child in the world has a right to fun and education. It is one of the pillars of Jungle the Bungle. That is why, with every product sold, we give a book as a gift to an underprivileged child. Every year, we let people know via this website and social media which charity we will donate the books to. So if you decide to buy one, please know that you are not only doing your own child a favour, but also another child!
