Frequently asked questions

The app is designed for children to learn a language through play. The brain of children up to 8 years old learns a new language super easily.

The app is suitable for children aged between 2 and 8 years.

You can create three profiles per subscription/household.

Right now, you can learn English, Spanish or Dutch with Jungle the Bungle's languages app.

Yes! Currently, you can choose Dutch, English or Spanish for both the base language (the language you may already master) and the target language (the language you want to learn). Even if you don't speak any of the three languages, you can use the app. Only the instructions when starting the app are in the basic language, but as the app works very intuitively, you don't really need these instructions.

Yes, more languages will eventually be added. Which ones these are and when is not yet clear. We expect to add languages such as French, Italian, German, Portuguese, Arabic and Polish within the next two years.

To learn a language well, it is important to engage with it at as many different times as possible. However, this does not have to be long. We recommend playing for 10-15 minutes every day. By playing regularly, children remember words and sentences better.

We encourage children to learn a language in different ways. The app is just one way. We also offer children's books and songs. Our advice is to use the app for 10-15 minutes a day.

We aim for a positive play and learning experience for every child, which is why we work with a back-end algorithm. The advantage of this is that each child learns at their own pace and level.

Yes! Besides the languages app on smartphone and tablet, a web version is now also available. However, the subscription must be purchased via the App Store or Play Store.

For now, you can only use the languages app if you have selected the Netherlands or Belgium as your country for your App Store or Play Store account. We are currently not available in other countries.

Yes indeed. Jungle the Bungle encourages children to learn languages through play in as many different ways as possible. Besides the app, we also offer books and songs to playfully learn English, Spanish or Dutch.

The most effective way to learn a new language is to play the app daily for 10-15 minutes. You learn a language faster by practising daily, which is why we recommend playing the languages app briefly every day instead of an hour or more once a week.

Building and maintaining the Jungle the Bungle language app is expensive. We also keep adding new games, songs, words, etc. on a regular basis. As the app is for children, we have chosen to keep it ad-free.

Jungle the Bungle donates the subscriptions to children whose parents cannot afford to subscribe to the app. We cooperate with the VoorleesExpress and VluchtelingenWerk Nederland for this purpose.
