Frequently asked questions
What is the best age for kids to start a new language?
Any age is a good age. Young children pick up sounds and accents easily, and older kids learn grammar and vocabulary quickly. A few minutes of playful practice several times a week works better than a long session once in a while.
How do kids hear the words?
Tap any word to hear it with your device's built-in voice for that language. If you hear an English voice instead, add the language's voice in your phone or computer settings (Settings โ Language/Speech).
What do the pronunciation hints mean?
They are simple English-style spellings โ CAPITAL letters show the stressed syllable (OH-lah). For Chinese we show pinyin with tone marks. They are a helper; listening to the audio is the best guide.
Is it free?
Yes. All words, games, quizzes and printable flashcards are free with no sign-up.
