Their First Words

Eight languages, two native voices each

A note on each language

English
English is one of the eight, with nothing reserved for it. The app’s own buttons and menus stay in English whichever card language you pick.
Português
Portuguese runs through all 16 word categories and all 9 phrase themes, not a shortened list. The 75 free words and 35 free phrases are the same ones here.
Deutsch
The German on a card is what a parent actually says — “Ich hab es gefunden!”, not a textbook “Ich habe”. Both voices read every card.
Italiano
Italian is the newest of the eight, and it arrived complete: every word, every phrase, both voices. There is no shorter Italian list.
Русский
Russian cards show the Cyrillic and speak it, so a grandparent who reads it and a parent who doesn’t can share one card. Both voices are included.

Raising a bilingual child?

If the language at home is not the language at daycare, both belong on the same card. Choose the card language and the word, the sentence and the voice all change with it; the picture stays where it was. Tap again for the other language and your child hears the same moment twice, one after the other.

Each child profile keeps its own language, so an older child can be on Spanish while the baby is on English, from the same phone. You can make up to four profiles, and all eight languages are open on the free cards — no language sits behind the purchase.

Why two voices, not one

Every card in every language ships with a female and a male native voice, and the switch sits right on the card. That is not decoration. In one study, 14‑month‑olds who heard new words from several different talkers learned to tell those words apart; the ones who heard the same words from a single talker did not.

Rost & McMurray, Developmental Science, 2009.

Hearing a word in more than one mouth is part of what turns it into a word rather than one person’s sound. The third voice is yours, and it is the one that counts most.

What a screen can and cannot do

A recording will not teach your child a language. Nine‑month‑olds who heard a new language from a live person in the room picked up its sounds; the ones given the very same material on video learned none of them.

Kuhl, Tsao & Liu, PNAS, 2003.

That is why this app’s job is deliberately small. It puts the word in front of you — the picture, the spelling, and a voice you can copy — and then you say it, and your child hears it from someone who loves them. Practice together. Five minutes is a good session.
