Ubooly is a stuffed animal that is powered by mobile phones and talks to kids! We're creating an entire series of educational packs so parents can customize their child's learning experience.

Currently Ubooly.com is seeking various foreign language teachers to write lessons for children between the ages of 5 and 9 in a simple, fun and engaging way.
The toy is interactive and has voice-recognition capabilities but no visual component, so the lessons are completely oral. Lessons can include games, songs, pretending, stories---any activity, as long as it's fun. This is as much a WRITING job as it is a TEACHING job, so it's crucial that you are a strong, creative writer as well as a fluent speaker.

Some of the foreign languages we are looking for are:
Mandarin
French
Italian
Japanese
Korean
German
Portuguese
Russian

Note: We do not need a Spanish teacher at this time

Here are a few videos to help give you a better feel of the character:

Here's a list of some great educational programs that we'd like our writers to draw from:
- Magic School Bus
- Reading Rainbow
- Sesame Street
- Schoolhouse Rock
- Bill Nye the Science Guy
- Dora the Explorer

If you think you've got what it takes, please write a sample activity for a foreign language lesson--up to one page. Hint: Whimsical is good, avoid boring.

Good luck & hope to see you on our team!
