ActuallySpeak Kids
For parents of children aged 4–9

Your child can study English for years — and still freeze when it is time to speak.

ActuallySpeak Kids gets them talking out loud from the very first lesson — by playing a jungle adventure, not memorising for a test.

Sound familiar?

They can pass the test. They just can’t speak.

You are doing everything right — the app, the classes, the flashcards. But when a real person says “hello,” your child looks at the floor.

Silent knowledge

They can point to “apple,” tick the right box, even spell it — but they never actually say it. Recognising a word and speaking it are two different skills.

Learning for a test, not for life

School teaches to the exam. So English becomes something to be marked, not a voice to be used. The confidence never gets built.

Apps that keep them quiet

Most “learning” apps are tap-and-match. Your child taps in silence for weeks and never opens their mouth once.

The nerves grow

Every year they don’t speak, the fear gets bigger. By the time it “matters,” speaking feels terrifying — so they avoid it.

English is not a test to pass.
It’s a voice to find.

The traditional way — silent apps, exam drills, 80-page grammar books — trains children to recognise English. It never trains them to speak it. That is the gap. And it is exactly the gap we close.

Picture six months from now

Imagine your child, actually speaking.

🍦

On holiday

They walk up to the counter and order their own ice cream in English — and turn back to you, beaming.

📞

On a video call

They tell Grandma about their day in full English sentences, without you translating a single word.

In class

Their hand goes up first. Not because they memorised the answer — because speaking English feels normal now.

The ActuallySpeak method

Every lesson ends with your child saying it.

Kiki the parrot leads a jungle adventure where speaking isn’t the scary bit at the end — it’s the whole point, from minute one.

1

Meet the word — and hear it

Kiki shows a real picture, says the word in a clear, friendly voice, and models it slowly. Your child hears perfect English first.

2

Say it out loud

The green mic appears on every word. Your child speaks — and our friendly coach listens, then celebrates their brave voice.

3

Play, win, come back

Stars, treasure, streaks and eight games make them want to speak again tomorrow. Confidence is built by repetition that feels like fun.

A peek inside

It looks like a game. It works like a tutor.

🎤

Speaking from day one

Not a bonus feature — the core of every lesson. Your child speaks in the very first adventure.

👂

Gentle pronunciation coaching

Our coach listens and helps one sound at a time (“put your tongue between your teeth”). It never says “wrong” — it builds confidence.

🎮

Learning by playing

Eight games, a story studio, treasure hunts and a jungle to grow. They think they’re playing. They’re speaking English.

📚

A real curriculum

A full A1 & A2 foundation — 302 core words in thousands of real phrases, with proper grammar, aligned to the Cambridge Young Learners levels.

Friends who cheer them on

Kiki and a crew of jungle buddies greet them by name and celebrate every brave try — so speaking feels safe.

Screen time you can feel good about.

  • No ads. Ever. No pop-ups, no “buy this,” nothing trying to sell your child anything.
  • Your child’s progress stays on your device. No accounts required to learn, minimal data, and you can erase everything in one tap.
  • Grown-up gate. Settings and the parent area sit behind a simple grown-ups-only lock.
  • Speaking is always optional. Shy today? They can skip the mic and still earn their star. No pressure, ever.
  • Kind by design. No “wrong,” no punishment for a missed day, no chance-based loot boxes.

Parents ask

Good questions.

My child can’t read yet — is that okay?
Completely. There’s a “Little Explorers” mode (ages 4–6) built around pictures and audio, with almost no reading. Everything Kiki teaches is spoken aloud, so your child learns by listening and speaking — reading comes later.
Do they really speak, or just tap?
They really speak. A microphone button appears on every word, and our friendly coach listens and gives gentle, one-sound-at-a-time feedback. If you’d rather not use the mic, they can say it out loud to you and still earn their star.
Is it safe? What about my child’s data?
Yes. There are no ads and nothing is sold to your child. Progress stays on your device, no account is needed to learn, and you can erase all data in one tap. Settings sit behind a grown-ups-only gate.
Does this help with school and exams too?
It builds the foundation that exams sit on — a full A1 & A2 vocabulary and grammar base, aligned to the Cambridge Young Learners levels. The difference is your child can actually use it, not just recognise it on a test.
How much screen time is it?
Each adventure is about 7 minutes — a healthy daily dose. Streaks gently encourage a little every day rather than long binges.
Does it work in China / everywhere?
Yes. It’s built to work worldwide, including mainland China — the app only ever talks to our own servers, so Kiki’s voice and the speaking coach work reliably.

Give your child a voice, not just a vocabulary.

Stop hoping the speaking will come later. Start the jungle adventure that makes it happen today — free.
