For ages 2–6 · iPhone & iPad
Tap a picture.
Hear the word.
Language Board is a first-vocabulary app for toddlers and preschoolers: 210 hand-illustrated everyday things, each one spoken aloud the moment your child taps it. Eight languages, eight separate apps — so there is only ever the one you chose.
Free to try — three full categories, no account, no ads.
What's inside every app
The same board in every language: 21 categories of everyday things, ten words apiece, all of it drawn by hand and bundled for offline use.

Made the way small children actually learn
A word, a picture, a voice — and no reason to hurry.
-
Tap to hear
Every one of the 210 words has its own audio, spoken clearly and without hurry. Tap once to hear it. Tap forty times, if that is the mood.
-
Drawn, not stock
Every object is an original storybook illustration — the kind of soft, slightly old-fashioned artwork children linger over instead of swiping past.
-
Nothing to win or lose
No timers, no scores, no streaks, no wrong answers. There is no way to fail at Language Board, which is the whole point at this age.
-
Built for small hands
Large tap targets, generous spacing and a board you wander rather than a menu you navigate. A two-year-old can drive it unaided.
-
Nothing collected
No analytics, no identifiers, no accounts, no ads, no third-party anything. The app never sends data anywhere, and every link out sits behind a parental gate.
-
Bought once
Three categories are free forever. Unlocking the other eighteen is a single purchase — no subscription, no renewal, nothing to cancel later.
Pick your language
Each language is a separate app, so your child only ever sees the one you chose. Every app has the same 210 words, the same artwork and the same one-time price.
For parents
What we don't do
A lot of children's apps earn their keep in ways you would not choose. This one is deliberately dull in that respect.
Read the full privacy policy — it is short.
- No data collection. Nothing is gathered, stored or transmitted. There is no server to send it to.
- No ads. None, of any kind, including the "educational" ones.
- No accounts. Nothing to sign up for and no email to hand over.
- No subscription. One purchase unlocks everything, permanently.
- No open links. Anything that leaves the app is behind a parental gate.
- No internet needed. Everything is bundled. Airplane mode changes nothing.
Questions parents ask
What age is Language Board for?
It is built for roughly ages 2 to 6 — the stretch where children are naming everything in sight. There is no reading required: a child taps a picture and hears the word. Older children learning a new language find it useful too, as a picture dictionary.
Is there one app per language?
Yes. Each language is its own app, so your child sees only the language you chose — no menus to get lost in and nothing to switch by accident. Pick the language you want and download that app.
How much does it cost?
Every app is free to download with three full categories — animals, food and shapes, 30 words in total. Unlocking the remaining 18 categories is a single one-time purchase. There is no subscription and no recurring charge.
Does it work without an internet connection?
Yes. The illustrations and the audio for all 210 words are bundled inside the app, so it works on a plane, in a car, or anywhere else with no signal.
Does the app collect any data about my child?
No. Language Board collects nothing at all: no personal information, no analytics, no device identifiers, no location, no cookies. Nothing is sent to any server. Your language preference and scroll position are the only things stored, and they stay on the device.
Are there ads or in-app pop-ups?
There are no ads, no third-party content, and no social features. The only links that leave the app sit behind a parental gate that asks a question a small child cannot answer.
How does my child hear each word?
Every one of the 210 words has its own audio file, spoken in a clear, warm, unhurried voice and bundled with the app. Tapping a picture plays it. Tapping again plays it again, as many times as your child wants.
Which devices does it run on?
iPhone and iPad, on iOS 15 and later. The board is laid out for both, so it works the same on a phone in the back seat and on a tablet at the kitchen table.
