LANGUAGE AND CONTENT
What is Magical English?
Magical English is a subscription based interactive video app, where kids relive their favorite Disney movies while learning English.

Kids, even more than adults, absorb new material best when they are interested and engaged. Disney English Storytime combines the power of Disney movies, with a host who both promotes the teaching and mediates the plot of the movie in an exciting new way.

In addition to the films, we provide interactive activities that practice and cement the English learning, in fun, game-like, exercises and voice recognition games that teach speaking skills.
