The Polyglots are part of the Early Learning Languages Australia (ELLA) program, funded by the Australian Government Department of Education, Skills and Employment and managed by Education Services Australia.

The Polyglots apps are a series of seven engaging play-based language learning apps that encourage preschool and kindergarten children to explore another language and culture. Preschools set the apps to one language from a choice of Arabic, Chinese (Mandarin), French, German, Hindi, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Modern Greek, Spanish, Turkish and Vietnamese. The Polyglots apps are aligned to the Early Years Learning Framework.

The Polyglots at the Beach is set in a playful seaside environment and provides opportunities to explore the language of colours. Children also revisit the language of greetings from App 1. While playing above and below the water, children are encouraged to interact with the language of colours, sea creatures and expressions of preference.
