Hey there!

Out of the necessity to teach my son a new language, I developed an app just for him. After months of use and realizing how effective it was, I decided to make it available to the public. Now, I’m looking for your support, feedback, and possibly help in reaching potential customers.

Take a look and let me know your thoughts!

Thank you!

You could edit the title to start with 'Show HN:' instead of 'Launch:' so it shows up in the feedbacky places of the site, more info here https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html

It should work fine. But the focus (particularly the UI and games) are designed for kids. But still, adults can benefit from it as well.

Yes, the unique aspect is the method we call the "linking language technique." Using a voice-immersive approach, children first hear the word or its introduction in their native language, followed by the same word in the target language. As they progress through different games, they gradually hear more of the target language. This technique is especially effective for kids aged 2-6, as it engages them more deeply and helps them understand the learning process. We've seen remarkable benefits from this method with our own son.

You could have edited the title a bit after you posted but I think you're past the edit window now. You can just email hn@ycombinator.com with a link to your current post and they'll sort it out for you.
