Why we make it
Words for home, family and travel
Maybe it is the language your grandparents speak, a trip coming up, or the first words you want your child to hear. Learning With Momo starts with those words.
- Everyday words, not a textbook. Family, animals, food, colours, numbers, feelings and more, plus 16 travel phrases such as "Where is the bathroom?" and "The bill, please".
- A clear clip for every word. Every word has its own pre-made audio clip, spoken by a clear AI (neural) voice. Tap the card to hear it again.
- One app from age 2 to grown-up. Little Explorer gets bigger pictures and buttons, and its game prompts are spoken, not written. Every mode has speaking practice. Older learners get travel phrases and, for Arabic, the 28 letters with tracing.
- Your own language on every card. Every card also shows the word in your own language: English by default, or one of 11 others. So a parent who speaks Arabic or French can help too.

What we stand by
No ads
No ads, no ad networks and no ad scripts, in any age mode.
What the app records
The app keeps its own usage records under your account email, such as minutes played, game scores and missed words.
Your voice stays with you
Recordings from speaking practice and the reading tutor never leave your device.
No pressure
Speaking practice has no scores and no grades. Listen, hold to record, then play yourself back.
Clear AI voices
Every word has its own pre-made audio clip, spoken by a clear AI (neural) voice. A few extras, like the Arabic letter names, use your device's built-in voice.
Grown-ups in charge of reading
In the reading tutor, the microphone is off until a grown-up turns it on. The reading grown-ups area sits behind a parent check, and parents can delete reading data at any time.
Plain talk
What Learning With Momo is not
We would rather you know before you sign up.
- Not a translator. Every card shows the word in your own language, but there is no box where you type a word to translate it. A translate tool is coming soon.
- Not a course. There are no grammar lessons, conversation classes or certificates. It teaches everyday words, short phrases, Arabic letters and English phonics.
- No live teachers or chatbots. There are no live teachers, no chat and no AI tutor. The reading tutor is guided phonics practice that adapts by fixed rules, not AI.
- Not synced across devices. Your stars, stickers and streak show only in the browser where you earned them. Reading tutor progress does follow your account.
- Reading is English only. There is no reading tutor for the 11 languages in the app. The English one is built for young children, not teens or adults.
- Not in the app stores. There is no App Store or Google Play app.
