For families living abroad

Keep your family's language alive, one happy word at a time.

Hometongue helps children aged 3 to 8 learn the language you speak at home. They see a bright picture, hear the word spoken clearly and play with it until it sticks.

What your child does

Look, listen and play

Look and listen

Swipe big picture cards and hear every word spoken clearly.

Find the picture

Hear a word, then tap the right picture.

Memory match

Flip the cards, find the pairs and hear the words.

Stars and a daily streak

Children collect stars and keep a daily streak going, with no timers and no scores to fail.

116 words in 10 packs

Animals, food, family, home, my body, clothes, nature, play & go, colours and numbers: the words small children use every day.

Three family languages

Spanish, Hindi with pronunciation help in Latin letters, and Mandarin Chinese with pinyin.

For grown-ups

Made for little hands, trusted by grown-ups

Safe for small children

Big buttons and no reading needed, with no account, no chat and no links for children to wander off to. The grown-ups' area sits behind a parental gate.

Offline and private

Pictures and voices are inside the app, so it works completely offline. Hometongue collects no personal data, and progress stays on the device, where you can see words learned, the streak and stars for each pack.

Free to start, one unlock

The first two packs of one language are free, and any advert appears only in the grown-ups' area. The one-time Family Unlock opens every pack, language and game for the whole family, with no subscription and no ads.
