2 free dialogue themes are already inside the App! Teaching through communication and games: - Personal tutor; - 12 themes for dialogues; - Words and phrases in context; - Speaking practice; - Educational games; - Pronunciation and listening practice; - Interesting tasks. Hello! My name is Niko. I am a friend and companion for your child. Together we will practice everyday speech through dialogues, practice pronunciation and listening, learn many new words and phrases, and broaden our horizons, because I really like to tell interesting facts and ask riddles! And you can also talk to me anytime and anywhere! The character is designed and animated by a professional artist and animator who tried to make Niko a fun and memorable character. Augmented reality Thanks to augmented reality technology, a child can transfer Niko to the real world at any time and continue his/her studies there. Artificial Intelligence With the help of our application, a child can learn names of the surrounding objects in the target language! You just need to take a picture of any object and Niko will say its translation. 100% safe for children Parents can safely leave their child with the phone without fear of wasting time. Also, parents can be sure that their child is not just sitting with the phone, even if he/she learns languages through it, but also moves. In our application, children will solve interesting problems and interact with the world through AR. Professional tutors, methodologists and child psychologists took part in the development of this App. The application will be both a great start to learning languages and a wonderful addition to schoolwork or individual lessons with a tutor. Under development Very soon we will add new features! We will also constantly add new dialogs and improve the old ones. At the moment, Spanish and Russian speakers can learn English, and English speakers can study Spanish. More languages will be available soon. Stay tuned! About developers The founders of our app came out of their pain to create a virtual tutor. First, as a child, they themselves lacked someone with whom they could have fun practicing casual speech, and not just learning boring rules. Secondly, the younger sister of one of the founders had the same problem. The traditional education system has a lot of grammar and little practice. That’s why it was decided to create an application that allows you to practice everyday speech in a playful way. The founders came up with the character pretty quickly. Everyone loves animals, especially cats. First the sketch was done, then the concept art. This is how Niko appeared - a personal tutor for children. Our mission We want to make speaking practice available to all children so that they can learn any language, wherever they are! Terms of use of the service To get access to all the features, you need to have a paid monthly subscription. The subscription is renewed automatically, even if you are not using the application. You can edit or cancel your subscription at any time. Please note that the prices may vary across countries.
