I'm not sure if this too offtopic but does anyone know similar applications for languages for young kids?

How young? My eight year old enjoys Duolingo though he gets a bit discouraged by the competitive aspect of it sometimes.

Looks good! Maybe it's time to translate the content? If so, I vote for French :)

Would also be interesting for me in German - and on android. Or you skip Google's and Apples price fist and also create a web-only version.

Hah! Lots of Tappity families have been feature-requesting that we also teach math, history, and even art! We'd love to expand into other subjects one day--we think our format will serve them well :)
