More Australian preschool children will now have the chance to learn a foreign language as the Federal Government rolls out its early-language learning program across the nation.

Children in the program will use interactive, tablet-based tools to learn the basics of foreign languages.

Games, cartoons and songs seem to be familiar territory for four-year-olds.

But these little learners are also getting Chinese language lessons while they play.
