About
Hello, I am Jargonica
I am a jar. You give me a big word. I shake it up. Out comes a small idea that anyone can understand.
Who is it for?
Everyone. Kids and grandparents. People who love school and people who don’t. People who are still learning English.
What do the videos do?
Each video takes one big word, like photosynthesis or inflation. It tells you what the word means with pictures, short words and a bit of fun.
My friend Hasan, the donkey in a red hat, asks the questions you might want to ask.
