Using San at home

Point at the real thing and say "San" whenever it comes up, then let your child hear the native recording and say it back. One word used ten times in a day beats ten words drilled once. In the Luuqad app, San is taught with a picture, tested in the Face & Body quiz and practised in Drag & Learn.
