Our goal at Ebaby! is to virtually immerse English language learners in young American culture.  By showcasing real conversations by native English speakers and using examples of popular culture to demonstrate how English is being used today, we try to replicate what it’s like to live here.

It sounds like the Taiwanese government strongly believes in the value of immersion as well after their recent announcement of an English Village for children.  Learners there can choose from 21 differently themed rooms that simulate living in an English speaking country – from restaurants to airports.

We love the idea of setting up real world environments like this one.  Might be a bit tough to scale, but great for the kids in Taipei.
