Yoruba speaking games for ages 4 to 12

Lúlú, a friendly talking drum, plays five-minute speaking games with your child. Mixed Yoruba and English answers count, and Lúlú says them back in Yoruba.

No recordings kept: every clip is scored, then deleted.

The Talk screen: Tolú said “I want omi”, Lúlú the drum smiles and says it back in Yoruba, “Mo fẹ́ omi”, and the Talk button glows.

What parents tell us

They understand everything. They answer in English.

“They understand everything, but they just won’t speak it back.”

“I wanted him to actually know Yoruba, not just hear it at parties like a lot of us did growing up.”

Before and after one turn with Lúlú

Your child says

I want omi

Lúlú says it back

Mo fẹ́ omi.

Your child says it again

Mo fẹ́ omi.

The English part counts. Nothing is marked wrong.

How it works

Three minutes for you. Five minutes a day for them.

  1. You set up

    Give consent, add a nickname and an age, and allow talking once. No child email, no child password.

  2. Your child plays

    Picture flashcards, listen and repeat, matching, and a short talk with Lúlú. They tap Talk, speak, and tap again.

  3. You hear the progress

    Each Monday, the weekly report shows real sentences your child said, as text, with one tip for home.

Mixed answers count. Lúlú says them back in Yoruba, and your child says it again.

Questions

What parents ask first

No. Lúlú is a computer helper. Its replies come from Claude, an AI model by Anthropic, inside strict rules for children: short replies, no personal questions, and a safety check on every line before it is spoken. Lúlú tells your child this in its first hello.

Hear your child say it tonight.
