Fewer than 1 in 10 parents of deaf or hard of hearing children can sign with their child.
That’s 64 million parents without a shared language at home - and more than 90% of children with severe hearing loss are out of school.
THE CHALLENGE
Wanting to sign is easy.
Learning to sign is not.
Most learners are let down long before they run out of motivation - by tools that were never built for them, and by good teaching that stays out of reach.
The gap isn't potential. It's access.
Stagnant toolsToo many products are outdated, passive or hard to use in daily life.
Uneven accessLocation, language and funding still decide who gets quality support.
Generic supportOne-size-fits-all systems ignore how differently people learn.
We make sign language personalaccessibledelightfulfull of joyfreeDeaf heartedpersonalfor every learner, every day.

READY TO BRING SIGN LANGUAGE ACCESS TO THE WORLD
A proven model, ready to repeat
We did not arrive here through one lucky app.
Four things make the next market easier than the last.
A free-to-play model that worksFree to play, being rolled out starting in our core markets, freemium or free in the rest - the same model across eleven apps.
International execution as a habitLaunching a new sign language is a repeatable process for us: local Deaf teachers, local curriculum, one shared platform. Twelve-plus countries so far.
Evidence-based by defaultCurriculum built on CEFR levels, research partnerships and outcome measurement - not vocabulary lists dressed up as a course.
Depth in special educationEight years inside Deaf education gives us the relationships, the content library and the platform to extend into adjacent learning needs.
Yes - three full modules are free in every app, in every country we launch in. Some apps offer a free to play model, so the learner can do a few lessons a day for free. To access all practice types, all units and the collections features, there is a premium plan. Some geographies get full experience for free. Schools can get access for a whole class via our classroom initiative.
Eleven so far, including ASL, BSL, Auslan, NTS, DGS, LSF, LIS, Libras, PSL, CSL and ISL. Each one is a separate app made in its own country, not a translation of another.
No previous knowledge needed, we got you! The first module starts with greetings and everyday phrases, and every video can be slowed down or replayed as often as you like.
Deaf native signers and Deaf teachers in the country the language belongs to. The subject matter expects create the curriculum together with a curriculum designer. Then the same local team film everything, and check every module before it goes live, so regional variants are included rather than smoothed away.
Yes. Teachers get lesson-length collections with clear videos and practice built for a room of learners, plus material you can bring straight into a lesson.
