In non-English-speaking countries, children face significant challenges in learning English as a second language. The complexity of learning two languages simultaneously can be overwhelming and burdensome, often leading to a lack of motivation and interest. Blocky is an alphabet block toy designed for learning English. Pressing the top button plays the alphabet sounds through the speaker, and when the blocks are connected horizontally and the button is pressed, the pronunciation of the formed word is played, providing an interactive English learning experience. Additionally, the 'Buddy Block' with a built-in display offers English learning games. This approach makes language acquisition a fun and natural process, helping children learn English more effectively and enjoyably.
