Native Language-Specific Stories Make English Easier and More Engaging
At Pojomo, we believe learning English should build on what learners already know—not ignore it.
That’s why we create stories tailored to specific native languages like Thai, Spanish, and others. These stories offer a smarter, more intuitive path to learning English—especially for beginners.
Why It Works
Stories written for learners from a shared language background offer unique advantages that generic ESL materials can’t match:
📚 Richer Vocabulary, Less Confusion
Because learners already know certain English loanwords from their own language (like “ice cream” in both English and Thai), we can introduce more advanced and interesting vocabulary earlier—without overwhelming them.
⚡ Faster Comprehension
Familiar words give learners confidence. When students recognize parts of a story, they’re more likely to understand the content quickly—and stay engaged while reading.
❤️ More Enjoyable Reading
Tailored stories can use a broader range of vocabulary, making them more compelling and less repetitive. When learners enjoy what they read, they read more—and that’s key to long-term growth.
🎯 Content That Connects
Generic ESL books have to stay ultra-simple. But when we design stories specifically for Thai, Spanish, or other speakers, we can build on what those learners already understand. The result? More relevant, more relatable, and more effective content.
