Listen, point, and say it together

Learn English animal names through the savanna

Which animal will your child notice first? Let them tap its picture, hear its name, and choose what to explore next.

Ten animals to meet

These ten cards feature animals from Nature Reach's savanna: lion, zebra, warthog, wildebeest, white-backed vulture, impala, elephant, giraffe, meerkat, and hippo. Follow your child's curiosity through the pictures. A name can wait for a second listen.

Tap a picture to hear its name

Your child can tap any animal picture to play its name. Choose English, Tiếng Việt, or Cả hai. On this English page, Cả hai plays the English name first and the Vietnamese name second.

Five minutes with the ten cards

Set a five-minute timer. Use the ten cards on this page for all three steps.

  1. First 2 minutes: listen to all ten

    Choose Cả hai and let your child tap each animal picture once. Hear the English name, then the Vietnamese name, and move to the next card.

  2. Next 2 minutes: find the picture

    Switch to English. Say three names you just heard, one at a time. Your child finds and taps each picture to check. If there's time, swap roles.

  3. Last 1 minute: choose two favorites

    Let your child pick two of the ten cards to hear again. Ask which English name they would like to remember.

Listen alongside your child

If a name is new to you too, tap the picture together. Pointing to the right animal or asking to hear it again is already a useful part of learning.

Zebra

Equus quagga

A zebra's coat is covered in stripes, but the pattern is its own. Look beyond the stripes to discover a life spent grazing and moving with other zebras.

Warthog

Phacochoerus africanus

A warthog may lower itself onto its front legs while feeding. A nearby burrow gives this busy forager somewhere to shelter.
