Sound familiar?

Most African parents want their children to keep the language. Here is how we make it happen.

“They understand, but they answer in English.”

Children need someone to speak with, not just vocabulary. Every lesson is live conversation with a native speaker.

“We tried apps. They lost interest.”

A real teacher who knows your child’s name, stories and songs keeps them coming back week after week.

“I can’t always be the teacher at home.”

You get a recap and simple practice prompts after every lesson, so keeping it going at home takes minutes.

What your child gets

Native teachers living in Africa

Your child hears the language as it is spoken today in Lagos, Nairobi, Accra or Addis Ababa, not a textbook version.

Private to your family

Every lesson is just your family. Siblings can learn together in the same lesson, each using one credit.

Verified before they teach

Identity checks, a live interview and a child-safety review before any teacher is listed. No direct contact outside the platform.

A recap after every lesson

What your child covered, plus one to three practice prompts for the week, in the app and by email.

Progress you can see

Lessons completed, achievements and weekly activity for each child, all in one place.

Culture comes with the words

Greetings for grandparents, songs, proverbs and the stories behind them, in every lesson.
