Your Toddler's First English Words — Simple Picture App

First English Words Every Toddler Should Learn

When children are learning their first English words, they start with concrete objects they can see and touch. The most effective first English vocabulary for ESL toddlers includes:

• Foods: milk, apple, banana — first English food words
• Animals: cat, dog, elephant — universally loved first English words
• Colors: red, blue, green — essential early English vocabulary
• People: mummy/mommy, daddy — first English family words

Our app covers all of these and hundreds more, organized into categories you can dip into based on what your toddler is currently interested in.

How to Use the App with Toddlers

Sit with your toddler on your lap. Open a category — Animals is a great start. Tap each card together and let the native English audio play. Point to the picture and say the English word out loud yourself. Even if your toddler just babbles along at first, the auditory exposure is building familiarity with English sounds that will pay off later.
