Lingumi
Early English for pre-schoolers
The international app has been withdrawn; only a China-market version is still listed (checked 4 October 2026).
Independence: our publisher builds learning products too. We never review or score its products, and no tool pays to be listed or to rank higher — how we assess fit.
What it does
What the AI actually does — Speech-recognition and pronunciation assessment (in part via SoapBox Labs) plus adaptive lesson progression; not a generative-AI product.
Why it was built — Teach spoken English to pre-schoolers in the early-childhood 'magic window', play-first and screen-light.
