One lesson. Little discoveries along the way.

A lesson might look like this: say hello, try something new and use English in conversation. The teacher sets the pace.

  1. 01Hello!

    Warm-up and hello

    A hello and a few simple questions help the child settle in.

  2. 02An apple?

    A new topic through a game

    A picture, a word, a small task: from something familiar to something new.

  3. 03I like apples.

    Real conversation

    The child tries an answer in their own words, with help from the teacher.

  4. 04See you!

    Come back and practise

    Words from the personal vocabulary appear in games between lessons.

Speaky's Island

The island plays with English words from the course: Speaky says a word, and the child walks over and finds it.

  1. Speaky says an English word
  2. Tap to walk across the island
  3. Find it: a ring lights up

Your child's safety and privacy

This is how the platform itself works.

  • Only one to one

    A lesson is your child and the teacher, no groups. There is no messaging with other people in the child area.

  • AI only with your consent

    Speaky, the voice friend, and the spoken word check work only after a parent says yes. In talks with Speaky the camera starts off. You can withdraw consent in the parent area at any time.

  • Grown-up decisions stay with grown-ups

    Moving or cancelling a lesson, changing the teacher and paying are behind a grown-up check.

  • No ads for children

    The child area has no ads and no ad trackers, and search engines do not index it.

After a lesson with the teacher, AI writes you a short report from the lesson recording. Recordings are deleted 30 days after the lesson.

Discovery atlas

The lesson ends. Discovery continues.

  1. A map of assigned lessons and where the child is now

  2. Personal words brought to life with illustrations

  3. Short games to practise familiar words

Games are optional. Teacher lessons never depend on completing them.

What it costs

The trial lesson is free. After it, a monthly plan with no minimum term, or a 6 or 12-month course at a lower price, paid at once or month by month.

  • per lesson⁨⁨4 times⁩ a week⁩ on a course of ⁨12 months⁩
  • per month⁨1 lesson a week⁩ on the monthly plan

The price is the same with every teacher. “From” is the lowest month-by-month price, for the plan shown under it; a course paid at once costs less. The exact price for your child is shown in the parent area before you pay.

How the course works

  • A monthly plan that renews every month until you turn it off, or a course of 6 or 12 months, paid at once or month by month. A course paid at once is one payment and costs less than month by month. It renews with one payment too, unless you turn renewal off; we write to you 14 days before.
  • Lessons a week: ⁨1, 2, 3, or 4⁩. 1 lesson a week is on the monthly plan.
  • ⁨⁨6 months⁩: −⁨5⁩%, ⁨12 months⁩: −⁨10⁩%⁩ on every month when paid month by month
  • ⁨⁨6 months⁩: −⁨10⁩%, ⁨12 months⁩: −⁨15⁩%⁩ when the course is paid at once
  • Family discount: when two children study, every new course is −⁨5⁩%, with three or more −⁨10⁩%, also when you pay for several children at once

How to start

  1. Free trial lesson
  2. Choose the course in the parent area
  3. Put the lessons in the schedule

Cancellation and refunds

  • If you change your mind: within 14 days of the purchase, and before the first course lesson takes place, you get a full refund. The free trial lesson does not count.
  • The course renews for the same length unless you turn renewal off in the parent area. Turning it off never cuts short the course you are already in.
  • A paid lesson cancelled more than 4 hours before it starts goes back to the course. With 4 hours or less to go it counts as held, and with less than 30 minutes to go it can be cancelled only through support. The free trial lesson can be moved or cancelled at any time before it starts.
