Still waiting to hear those magical first words? Learn to Talk is the only app built for both of you, helping your child say their first words while showing you exactly how to support them at home. One app. Two journeys. From the creators of the Oxbridge Baby YouTube channel, trusted by over 2.7 million subscribers worldwide. Whether your baby is beginning to babble, your toddler is working towards their first words, or your child is taking a little longer to speak, Learn to Talk gives both parent and child the tools to move forward. For your child: Hundreds of preschool learning videos, the brand new 25-episode Learn to Talk series, interactive games and activities, all 100% ad-free and designed to encourage first words and early vocabulary. Full access to the child’s content is via subscription. For you: Instant access to our parent resources right in the app, including a complete 30-week email course plus 8 premium PDF guides. The parent resources are included at no extra cost. Learn to Talk - The Series At the heart of the app is our brand new Learn to Talk series, featuring 25 episodes each covering a different preschool theme. Over 200 key first words span the full range, from action words and mealtimes to colours, emotions, transport and more. The series builds on our original Learn to Talk DVD, which was created with Paediatric Speech and Language Therapist Gillian Hart, and has helped children worldwide say their first words. Baby Sign Language Baby signing is woven naturally throughout the series, giving children a way to communicate before they can speak. This reduces frustration, builds confidence, and supports speech development alongside words rather than instead of them. Hundreds of Preschool Videos Including: - Funky the Green Teddy Bear - Sounds for Kids - Nursery Rhymes - Fairy Tales - Classical Baby - Jazz Baby - The Music Man - Preschool Compilations - 200+ Baby Signs - And lots more Interactive Games That Build Language Our interactive games turn language learning into play. Flash card games offer two learning modes, matching spoken words or sounds to images, so children build vocabulary through listening and recognition. The 100 First Words Sound Board lets children touch an image and hear the word, exploring first words at their own pace. FAQ How is Learn to Talk different from other children's apps? Learn to Talk entertains and teaches at the same time. Every video is slower paced and more considered than typical children's content, built around the techniques that help children recognise, remember and say their first words. Key vocabulary repeats across episodes, baby sign language is woven throughout, and uniquely, it supports you alongside your child, with a complete 30-week email course and 8 premium PDF guides. Is Learn to Talk suitable for speech-delayed children? While originally designed for babies and toddlers learning their first words, Learn to Talk has also been used extensively by parents of children with speech delays. Our multi-sensory approach, combining video, sound, repetition and baby sign language, supports children at various stages of speech development. Does the app replace speech therapy? Learn to Talk supports speech development at home but is not a replacement for professional speech therapy. If you have concerns about your child's speech, we always recommend consulting a speech and language therapist. The app works well alongside professional support.
