Both the Europe and Global Luka have self-recording - and it’s a great feature. Sometimes, it’s comforting to hear a familiar adult’s voice. Sometimes, there’s a particular way you want a story to be told. The self-recording feature adds a personal touch to the Luka that helps us make the most of it.

Luka can be bought all over the world but… did you know: there are different regional versions of Luka? If you’re living in the EU or UK, the Luka closest to you is likely to be the Europe Luka sold by the German distributor! At first glance, there’s no difference at all… until you look at what they do. On the surface, they look exactly the same, but they’re actually targeted at slightly different people!

Ever since I found out about Luka, I’ve been dying to try one out. When I finally got hold of one, I started exploring how well it worked and the ways in which it could fit into our bilingual household. EU Luka is slightly different from China/US Luka but it still works well - mostly!

The book we’ve chosen today is called ‘动物的脚印’ (‘Animal Footprints’). The aim was to get her to start recognising body parts, animals and improve her comparison skills.

What have you been doing on the first day of the heatwave? Children can learn from anything and it’s important to give them the environment to let them enjoy and explore languages!

What we needed was to strike a balance by managing her digital content exposure so she wouldn’t forget the value of her books. The things we introduced were things that we believed would help her gain knowledge of the world around her.

While my sister is spending hours watching YouTubers making desserts, I’m looking for recipes for something I can’t even eat… But the end result really was worth it! My daughter loves playing with it and it’s a great tool to give her hands-on learning about the things in her books!

My daughter’s got a special place in her brain for the books about food - we are a foodie family after all! One of those books is about drawing a cherry tree. We love the little catch at the end where the birds try to eat the drawing so we thought we’d do a little activity.

Apple picking is one of my personal favourite activities. She gets tired and we get apples! But whenever she does something, we always encourage her to talk about it in the language that we speak.

Recently, she’s taken quite a liking to a book about different coloured beans. Thankfully grandma always has a stock of each, so I thought it would be a good idea to make an activity out of it!
