Lumi KidsChildren learn by speaking, not tapping
In Lumi Kids, Lumi the owl really talks with your child. Your child speaks into the microphone, Lumi answers instantly, corrects gently and hands out stars. The app guides in Turkish and teaches English or German.
Coming soon to the App Store. Leave your e-mail and we’ll send exactly one message on launch day.

Lumi is listening
A patient friend who listens back
Most apps ask a child to tap the right box. Lumi Kids asks them to speak: Lumi poses a question, listens, and answers while the child is still talking — like a real conversation.
- Full-duplex: your child can interrupt Lumi mid-sentence; no waiting for a turn.
- Gentle correction: mispronunciation is never punished — Lumi simply repeats the word slowly.
- Instant reward: every correctly spoken word earns a star on the spot.
- Turkish safety net: if the child gets stuck, Lumi switches to Turkish, hints and tries again.
- Nothing is recorded: live audio is processed in real time and never stored.
Hear Lumi’s voice
Real clips from the app (English). The same voice is bundled for German.
Your child starts in three minutes
No sign-up, no e-mail, no password. Open the app, type your child’s name, pick the language.
Pick a buddy
Your child chooses an avatar and the language to learn: English or German.
Explore the worlds
Each world holds 8 words, 4 kinds of exercise and one live scene with Lumi.
Talk to Lumi
They tell Lumi what they learned, collect stars and spend them in the Play Park.
Four exercises in every world
The same eight words come back by listening, tapping, matching and speaking. The next day the “Daily Review” brings them back again — that is how words stick.
Learn
Tap the picture, hear the word and an example sentence in a clear studio voice.
Listen & Tap
Lumi says a word, the child finds the matching picture.
Card Match
A memory game pairing picture with word — every card speaks.
Talk to Lumi
Live conversation: Lumi asks, the child answers out loud.
8 worlds, 64 first words
The order is built for small children: it starts with saying hello and ends with the toys in their own room. Each world brings four exercises and one live scene with Lumi.
The first level, Tohum (“Seed”, pre-A1), ships inside the app and works offline. The next levels, Filiz (“Sprout”, pre-A1, 16 worlds), Fidan (“Sapling”, A1, 24 worlds with stories, role-play and first grammar) and Ağaç (“Tree”, A2, 24 worlds with past and future tenses, comparisons and fairy tales), unlock with any minute pack and download inside the app.
Stars are earned by working, spent on play
Instead of rewarding screen time we reward learning. Children earn stars from exercises and from talking with Lumi, then spend them on mini games or on decorating Lumi’s room.
- Each mini game costs 3 stars — one game a day is always free.
- Games only use words the child has actually studied, so playing is revision too.
- Games unlock in sequence: at 1, 12 and 25 earned stars.
- A lasting reward: Lumi’s room with 16 items. Decorations never disappear.
- For ages 4–5 the games run slower and with fewer items.

You stay in control
The parent zone sits behind a multiplication question or a PIN you set. Children cannot walk in on their own.
- Daily talk limit: 5–60 minutes (20 by default). Time only runs during live conversation.
- Weekly report: minutes spoken, exercises finished, stars and words learned.
- Up to 4 child profiles: each with its own language, age and progress.
- One-tap deletion: “Delete all data” removes profiles and progress from the server too.
- No ads, no outbound links, no social features. The child cannot leave the app.
No subscription. Only talking minutes.
Every lesson, game and voice clip is already on the device. You only pay for live conversation with Lumi: the minutes you buy simply wait until they are used.

Frequently asked questions
Anything else on your mind? Write to hello@lumikids.live
Which language does the app speak to my child in?
The app guides and explains in Turkish, and teaches English or German. It is built for Turkish-speaking families — including families living in Germany whose children are learning German.
My child knows no English at all. Is that a problem?
No. The first level is designed for absolute beginners: single words, short sentences and a lot of repetition, with all instructions in Turkish.
What ages is it for?
Ages 4–9. No reading required — everything is spoken and illustrated. For profiles aged 4–5 the games run slower and with fewer items.
Is my child’s voice recorded?
No. During a live conversation audio is processed in real time and never stored or archived. The app asks for no account, e-mail or phone number. See the Privacy Policy.
Are there ads or surprise purchases?
No ads at all. Purchases live only inside the parent zone, behind a multiplication question or your PIN — there is no buy button a child can reach.
Subscription or one-off?
No subscriptions. Minute packs are one-off purchases that never expire, and any pack permanently unlocks all 8 worlds.
Does it work offline?
Lessons, voices, games and reviews all work offline — they ship with the app. Only the live “Talk to Lumi” conversation needs a connection.
How do I limit screen time?
In the parent zone you set the daily live-talk limit between 5 and 60 minutes (20 by default). When it runs out Lumi says goodbye kindly and the child continues with lessons.
How many children can use it?
Up to 4 profiles per device, each with its own language, age, stars and progress. Purchased minutes are shared across the device.
Which devices are supported?
iPhone and iPad on iOS 17 or later. An Android version is on the roadmap — join the list and we’ll tell you.
Guides for parents (in Turkish)
From the Turkish national curriculum to ten-minute routines at home — written for Turkish-speaking families.
