What will my child actually learn?
Talkio Kids introduces basic English vocabulary and simple phrases
for everyday topics such as greetings, numbers, colours, animals,
family and food. Children practise listening, recognising, reading
and saying words, then begin using them in short sentences. It is
designed as a starting point for kids with little or no English.
Does my child need to read fluently?
No. Every instruction is spoken as well as written, and pictures
help carry the meaning. Reading develops alongside listening rather
than being required from the start.
Which languages does it cover?
Your child learns English. The app around the lesson speaks English,
Spanish, German, French, Italian and Danish, and new words are
explained in whichever of those you speak at home.
Does it need Wi-Fi?
No. Every lesson, picture and recording ships inside the app, and
your child's progress is stored on the device. It works on a plane,
in a car and at grandma's — there is nothing to download first,
nothing to sync afterwards, and no account to sign in to.
What happens to my child's voice?
Some steps ask your child to say a word out loud, and the app
listens to tell whether they said it — that is what the microphone
is for. The listening happens on the device itself: the recording is
never uploaded and never stored. Decline the microphone and those
steps become "tap when you've said it", with your child judging
themselves instead. Either way, a speaking step can never hold up
the mission.
How long is a session?
A mission is a few minutes long and then it ends. There is no streak
to protect, no daily quota and no next reward dangled to keep your
child going. You can switch on one quiet reminder a day at a time
you pick, or leave reminders off entirely.
Can anyone contact my child through the app?
No. Talkio Kids has no chat, no comments, no leaderboards, no
accounts and no profile for anyone to find. The only voices in the
app are the crew's.
What does it cost?
You can try the first part of the course free, with no card. After
that, a subscription unlocks the full learning journey and future
lessons. Buying happens behind the grown-up gate, and you manage or
cancel it from your App Store or Google Play account like any other
subscription.
