Nong Pho learns English with 51Talk: from a child who rarely talks to others to a super interpreter in Japan!
Imagine this picture… Walking in a department store in Tokyo, Mom sees something she wants but can’t communicate with the shop owner. Who can help? The answer is Nong Pho, the little son who steps forward to negotiate prices in English fluently, as if he’s been doing it all his life! 🌟
This is not a made-up story, but a real event that happened during the Japan trip of the family of Khun Chakrit and Khun Ann, parents of Nong Pho, who trusted 1-on-1 online English courses with foreign teachers from 51Talk as a key tool to develop their child’s language skills.
Who is Nong Pho and why did Father Chakrit choose 51Talk?
Nong Pho’s home has a very interesting language dynamic. Father Chakrit can speak English, but Mother Ann is primarily Thai-speaking. That means without support, Nong Pho might grow up in an environment where English is not used regularly.
Especially during school breaks when he spends time with relatives, living 100% in Thai. His father began to wonder, “If there’s no continuous practice, will the English our child has accumulated gradually fade away?”
That was the starting point that led his father to download the 51Talk app for Nong Pho to try, and the results exceeded expectations!
How does Nong Pho feel about learning with 51Talk?
Ask directly: how is learning with 51Talk? Nong Pho answered with just one sentence without hesitation:
“It’s so much fun!” 🎉
And that’s what makes learning with 51Talk completely different from regular tutoring, because for Nong Pho, it never feels like “sitting and studying” at all.
3 things Nong Pho loves about learning with 51Talk
1. Games to play, learning is fun without realizing it!
The first thing Nong Pho is most hooked on is the learning system that incorporates games into every lesson. Instead of memorizing A B C or writing boring vocabulary, he plays games, interacts with the teacher, and accumulates points at the same time. When it’s fun, he wants to keep learning on his own!
Mother Ann said that watching the teacher teach Nong Pho each time is so much fun because it’s completely different from traditional learning.
2. Teachers captivate, keeping attention under control
Many worry that online learning will make children distracted. In fact, 51Talk teachers receive special training in both international standard English teaching and child psychology, so they know how to bring Nong Pho’s attention back every time he starts to drift.
So he focuses better than expected and gets the most out of every 25-minute lesson.
3. Learn anywhere, even in Japan!
One thing Father Chakrit is very impressed with is that when the family traveled to Japan, Nong Pho could still learn with 51Talk as usual. No need to stop learning, no loss of momentum. Just have internet, book a teacher 1 hour in advance, and open a tablet or computer to start learning immediately. Anywhere, anytime!
Tangible results: from online learning to family interpreter
The proudest story of this family is what happened in real life after Nong Pho continuously learned with 51Talk.
During the Japan trip, Nong Pho truly became the family interpreter. Whether asking for directions, communicating with staff, or even negotiating shopping prices for Mom, he did it all!
Clear results from 51Talk in Nong Pho:
- Dares to speak English in real situations, no fear, no hesitation
- Uses English comprehensively in listening, speaking, reading, and writing
- Confident in communicating with foreigners even in unfamiliar situations
- School performance improved due to stronger listening and speaking skills
- Enjoys English, no longer sees it as scary
Features that Nong Pho’s parents love (and the child may not know exist!)
Besides the fun Nong Pho gets, his father and mother have their own reasons for deciding to have their child continue learning with 51Talk.
Watch recorded videos anytime — Even if parents are busy and can’t watch during the lesson, they can later review what the child learned and how well they did.
Post-session reports every time — Teachers send evaluation reports after each session, so parents can track their child’s progress in real-time.
AI helps with pronunciation practice and scoring — Nong Pho also practices pronunciation with an AI system that tells him how accurate his pronunciation is, gradually refining his accent.
Choose teachers freely — View teacher profiles in the app, pick someone whose style matches the child, making the child feel more comfortable and open to learning.
In Nong Pho’s own words…
“It’s very cool!”
Short, concise, but says it all. That’s straight from Nong Pho himself, and that’s what 51Talk provides: not just language skills, but happiness and confidence in using English that the child will carry for life.
