I want milk.
Hear it in
Every card in the app does this — 24,000+ native-voice clips, all on your phone.
Practice together
See it. Hear it. Say it. Then put the screen down.
- SeeA picture worth pointing at
Hold the phone between you, point, and name it. One card, one idea — you’re the teacher, the app is the prop.
- HearA voice worth copying
Tap the speaker for a native voice in your family’s language, then say it yourself — yours is the voice they copy.
- SayA moment worth sharing
When they try it, tap Mark Learned — or Said It for a phrase. That’s a whole session; a minute is plenty.
The Words library
1,000+ words in 16 categories.
From the first words at the table to feelings, places, and actions — every one illustrated and spoken aloud.

Raising a bilingual child? The language of home and the language of school sit on the same card, so they grow side by side.

The Phrases library
500+ phrases for nine kinds of moment.

Calm by design
One card at a time.
Nothing racing you on.
One word or phrase, one picture, spoken aloud — and nothing else on the screen to pull your child away.
- Switch the voice — a woman’s or a man’s — and any of the 8 languages, without leaving the card
- Every card, picture, and voice works offline — planes, road trips, waiting rooms
- Up to 4 children, each with their own stage, progress, and favorites
- No ads, no feed to chase, no streaks that guilt you — just the card
Screen time you can feel good about
For the moments you need both hands, Auto Play turns the cards by itself, and an optional Lock ignores stray taps. It’s off by default, and nothing here is built to keep them watching.
A note from the parents who built it
“The magic of hearing our daughters’ first words is why we began building Their First Words.
We wanted something families could use together.
We hope it brings your family some of the same small, magical moments it brought ours.”
