For teachers & parents

Your own console, separate from the games

Teachers and parents get a dashboard for their learners. Everything a group owner needs is in one place; the games are a tap away if you want to learn too.

Teacher console: a class with its join code, weekly activity tiles, who needs attention, and a sortable student roster
Family console on an iPad: one family with two children and how many practised this week

Set up in minutes

Type your learners’ names, one per line. LINGUA makes their logins and printable slips. Kids don’t need email.

See who needs a nudge

Who hasn’t practised this week, who’s under 60% correct, and the words your group misses most.

Built for shared devices

A family iPad or a classroom cart: each learner picks their name and taps a 4-digit PIN to get back in.

What’s inside

Built on how vocabulary really sticks

Each word is tracked from new to mastered. Early games are gentle recognition; later ones demand real recall. The words you miss come back more often, and the ones you know get faster.
