How it works

Simple enough for anyone.
Deep enough to matter.

Real language, taught by native speakers — learned the way it was always meant to be.

1
Hear real voices
Every phrase is recorded by a native speaker. Listen at your pace — full speed or slowed down. Real voices, not AI.
2
Say it yourself
Repeat it out loud. Record your voice and play it back next to the original to hear how close you are.
3
Start speaking in sentences
You won't just learn words. Each lesson builds towards real sentences — so you can speak with the people who matter most.
4
Discover the culture
Every lesson comes with a culture note — a tradition, a meaning, the story behind the language.
5
Learn at your pace
Short lessons that fit around family life. No pressure, no deadlines — just come back whenever you're ready.

🔤 Today's culture fact
The name 'Esan' means 'those who fled' — a people who chose freedom over comfort.
Why MTHR TNG

For anyone who feels the
pull of a language.

Whether you grew up hearing it but never speaking it, want your children to feel connected to their heritage, or are starting fresh — MTHR TNG meets you where you are.

🌍
Made for the diaspora
Built for people who already feel the pull of a language — who grew up hearing it, or want their children to grow up speaking it.
💬
Bringing families closer
When a child earns their first stars, when a parent hears a phrase they haven't spoken in years — these are real moments. MTHR TNG turns language learning into something you do together.
🏡
The whole family
Create up to 5 profiles on one account. Everyone learns at their own pace.
⭐
Made for children
Children earn stars for every phrase and unlock cultural stickers as they go. Enyi the elephant. Ekwe the talking drum. Ivie the coral beads. Learning feels like play, but the language stays with them.
Family Voice

Hear it in the voice
that matters most.

Premium includes one Family Voice slot: invite a parent or grandparent to record lesson phrases in their own voice. We provide the lesson phrases. Your elder records them in their own voice. No account needed. Just a link, a phone or laptop microphone, and a few minutes.
