Nobody at home speaks the language
French, Latin, Spanish: you can quiz, but you can't show how a word is pronounced.
Vocabulary test on Friday? Nalo practises along.
You photograph the page from the school book, Nalo turns it into practice until the test, on your iPhone or your child's. Even if nobody at home speaks French.

Hi, I'm Nalo!
Sound familiar?
Quizzing at the kitchen table
The same list every evening, and in the end you argue more than you practise.
The test always comes suddenly
The night before, it turns out three pages are still missing.
Nalo takes over the practising. You keep the overview.
1 · Scan
Any school book. One photo.
Point the camera at the vocabulary page, done. Nalo recognises word, translation and example sentence and marks what needs a quick check. You scan with your iPhone, the test lands on your child's device. No typing, no particular publisher.
- English
- French
- Spanish
- Italian
- Portuguese
- Dutch
- Latin
2 · Listen
Nalo says every word aloud.
A speaker on every card: your child hears the right pronunciation as often as it likes. Nalo can do that even if you never learnt the language.
New word. Turn the card over.

3 · Plan
Planned through to the test.
Enter the test date and the pages, Nalo spreads the words over the days until then. Shortly before, Nalo quizzes the way the real test does.
Reminds in good time
A short message when it's time to practise: to your child and, if you like, to you.

nowFrenchA round to warm up? Then you're free.4 · Practise
Small rounds that feel good.
Flash card, multiple choice, typing: Nalo raises the difficulty step by step. Words that still stick come back until they sit.
Praise, not pressure
Nalo never scolds. Every round earns stars, a kind word and sometimes a little dance.
Stickers and outfits
Keep at it and you unlock stickers and can restyle Nalo: new headphones, hats, glasses.
On the home screen
One glance is enough.
Your child sees how many days are left until the test and where the week stands. You see for each child whether they're on track.
5 · Accompany
Your child practises. You see whether it's enough.
If you like: your child learns on its own iPhone or iPad, you see on yours how far it has got. No nagging, no looking over the shoulder.
- How many words are already solid, and which ones still stick
- On which days practice happened
- A tip from Nalo on how you can help
- No leaderboards, no comparison between siblings
6 · On your own
Works without parents. And without a book.
Nalo needs no family to get going. Whoever learns alone simply scans, practises and plans alone.
Children on their own
Older pupils scan their pages themselves, set up tests and practise with no parents involved.
Without a school book
Type words in or learn a topic from Nalo's dictionary: Hello & goodbye, Food & drink, Out and about.
Adults too
A new language for life or for the holidays? Nalo practises with you just as patiently.
Made for children. Honest with parents.
