There are even songs in English like “A ticket, a basket” to accompany the discovery of a foreign language.
Finally, meet up every evening at 20:15 p.m. for a great story to listen to.

So, is Florence the capital of Italy, or is the bonobo the biggest ape in the world? It is up to your child to determine if this statement is true or false. In both cases, the application then indicates the correct answer: no, Rome is the capital of Italy!
