Built by a heritage speaker

homespoken started with one question: why is there no serious app for our languages? So we built it ourselves.

Frequently asked questions

What is homespoken?

homespoken is an iPhone app for learning Amharic and Tigrinya, built around real conversation: custom lesson plans, practice drills, and an AI tutor you can actually talk to.

I understand it but can't really speak it. Is this for me?

That is exactly who we built it for. Lessons assume you grew up hearing the language and focus on getting you to answer back, out loud.

Which languages does it support?

Amharic and Tigrinya at launch, shown in romanized letters with the Ge'ez script one tap away.

Is it free?

Yes. homespoken is free at launch. No credit card, no trial timer.

When does it launch?

Very soon. The first version is in final testing now. Join the waitlist and we will email you the moment it is live, nothing else.
