Between ages 3 and 10, your child's brain is in its most receptive phase for learning new languages. Talki turns this natural advantage into a real opportunity: your child speaks with a friendly AI that adapts to their level and pace.
Unlike traditional apps based on repetitive exercises, Talki offers real voice conversations. Your child speaks, listens, and responds naturally, just like they would with a native-speaking friend.
How Talki works
Learning happens through conversation. Your child activates the microphone, speaks in their target language (even simple words at first), and the AI responds verbally, adapting to their level. The system uses speech recognition (Whisper) to understand what your child says and voice synthesis (ElevenLabs) to respond with clear, natural pronunciation.
Progressive learning from A1 to C2
The built-in language learning hub assesses your child's level and suggests adapted conversations and exercises. From the first greetings to complex discussions about their interests, every exchange builds vocabulary and listening comprehension.
Interactive vocabulary exercises
Alongside free conversations, Talki offers targeted exercises: everyday words, colors, animals, food, family, school. Each word learned earns experience points and unlocks badges, keeping your child motivated.
Available languages
Learn French through natural conversations, from basic greetings to describing daily life and expressing opinions.
Practice Spanish speaking with an AI that adapts to your child's rhythm and encourages every attempt.
German pronunciation made easy through guided vocal exchanges and age-appropriate vocabulary.
6 target languages and 11 native languages supported, so every child can learn in their own way.
Safe and parent-controlled
As a parent, you stay in full control. The parental dashboard lets you review your child's conversation history, track vocabulary progress, see time spent on the app, and set usage limits. All data is protected in compliance with GDPR.
The AI never asks personal questions. All conversations are filtered and monitored. Child safety is our absolute priority.
Frequently asked questions
At what age can my child start learning a new language?
Linguistics research shows that children can start learning a second language from age 3. Young children's brains are particularly receptive to the sounds and structures of new languages. Talki automatically adapts conversation levels to your child's age, from first vocabulary words (3-5 years) to full sentences and sustained conversations (6-10 years).
How does Talki help my child learn?
Talki uses voice AI to engage your child in natural conversations in their target language. Your child speaks and the AI responds verbally, like a friendly native speaker.
