Sinopsis

A little mouse walks into the Lost & Found, but can only speak Greek. How will Mr and Mrs Frog figure out what the mouse is missing...? Aimed at children aged 2-7, the unique âÇÖStory-powered language learning methodâÇÖ combines humour, story and emotion to gently and memorably introduce kids to more than forty simple and fun Greek words and phrases. 'The kids were so busy laughing they didnâÇÖt realise they were learning.' Kyle Buchannan, Dad of two, London. ItâÇÖs a bilingual childrenâÇÖs book with a difference, that helps lay the foundations of a love of languages.áHow does the Story Powered Language Learning Method work?áUnlike a Greek picture dictionary or traditional bilingual Greek English childrenâÇÖs books, the Fabulous Lost and Found uses the the âÇÖStory-powered Language Learning MethodâÇÖ taps into a childâÇÖs natural abilities. There are three steps:We create an emotionally engaging and funny story for children and adults to enjoy together, just like any of the other Greek books for children. Studies show that social interaction, like enjoying a book together, is critical in language learning.áThrough the story, we introduce a relatable character who speaks only in the new language. This helps build empathy and a positive attitude towards people who speak different languages. These are both important aspects in laying the foundations for lasting language acquisition in a childâÇÖs life.áAs the story in this Greek picture book progresses, the child naturally works with the characters to discover the meanings of a wide range of fun new words and phrases. Strategic use of humour ensures that this subconscious learning is rewarded with laughter, the child feels good and the first seeds of a lifelong love of language are sown.áMessage from the Author:áMark Pallis There is a special magic about learning words another language and using them: I truly think it warms the heart. IâÇÖve learnt jokes or songs in ten languages so far and itâÇÖs brought me so much joy. This Greek book for kids is first and foremost a really enjoyable story, but itâÇÖs also my way of helping little learners engage with a new language, empathise with strangers and ultimately build a love of languages. And it happens without them realising. Any parent who has ever tried to smuggle vegetables into pasta sauce will know that you can get a lot of good stuff into things without kids realising. This book is the same! I want you all to have fun together and enjoy the story. All the learning is a bonus, the icing on the cake (or the extra veg in the sauce!). The idea that after a few reads, kids will be able to go up to a native speaker and tell them in their own language: âÇÖIâÇÖve lost my hatâÇÖ fills me with joy. Imagine how proud the child will feel. And imagine how proud youâÇÖll feel too! I hope you have as much fun reading it as I had writing it. With best wishes, Mark
