The 21st Century is crying out for a user-friendly standardised Universal Visual Language that works for everybody.

This is because most humans think in sound, symbols, emotions, movement, meaning, experience, and especially images. 

Simply put, humans say what we see.

Complexly put, humans use multimodal models for learning and natural language processing.

Interestingly, within this blend of multiple models approximately 65% of us identify as visual learners, according to educational psychology research.

This statistic, originating from the VARK model and various other studies such as Zwaak and Madden 2005 & 2015, highlights the effectiveness of visual information in learning.

Interestingly, visual cognition is seen as more innovative and immediate for problem-solving while verbal thinking for more future, planning and complex problems. 

That’s why The Emoji Alphabet, and forthcoming Emoji Alphabet Squishees, Building Blocks and Emoji Communication Cube 1000, are a simple and sensible new way to visualise letters, words and vocabulary to learn and communicate better.

The human-first family of communication tools we are developing, support and bridge to the 7,000+ languages currently being used on planet Earth in a familiar and FUNctional way.

And they are easily adaptable to individual needs, because as every parent and teacher knows every child is unique. 

The Emoji Alphabet et al, develops and builds upon our natural human strengths and innate love of language and learning.

Key areas include: 
1 Imagination
2 Common senses (inc. sense of FUN! ofc)
3 Meaning

Each of the 26 letters A-Z of the standard English alphabet have literally been paired with an emoji symbol that has the same initial letter. 

a apple 
b bee
c cat
d dog
e ear
g grapes
h home
i ice cream
j joker
k king
l love
m moon
n nut
o ok
p pig
q queen
r rainbow
s sun
t tooth
u umbrella
v volcano
w whale
x x
y yin yang
z zebra

This little alliteration language technique is just one of the many magic communication tricks up our sleeve.  

Others include:
- No punctuation 
- No gender
- No capitalisation  
- Streamlined phonetic spelling 

Subject to wider testing, one of the many unique value propositions of the Emoji Alphabet is its use for those vanguards of humanity we currently label as neurodivergent.

Meta analysis research evidenced neurodivergent children respond  “better” to visual cues (Bellini & Akullian, 2007). 

Thus, the Emoji Alphabet will help babies and children with dyslexia, teenagers with autism, adults with ADHD and maybe even an undiagnosed grandparent with all three.

As it is such an easy and engaging language learning experience, there are multiple global use cases too such as a visual lingua franca for all, an ESL support tool and a practical hands-on linear Emoji Alphabet keyboard. 

If you appreciate the vision and universal appeal of our mission to help humans learn and communicate better please spread the word :-) 

Expressively Yours,
