Learning a language is hard.
Learning one with your child shouldn't be.
We started Miko because the best way to learn a language is to share a story — and the best person to share it with is right next to you.
The problem we set out to solve
Most language apps hand a child a device and a stream of drills, then measure the minutes. But children don't fall in love with a language through flashcards. They fall in love with it through stories — and through the people who read those stories with them.
For families raising children across more than one language, that shared time is precious and scarce. Miko is built to protect it: 15–20 quiet minutes where a parent and child read together, in two languages at once, and both come away having learned something.
Who Miko is for
Immigrant parents
Keeping your children connected to a heritage language, even far from home.
Expat families
Helping kids stay fluent in a language their school never uses.
Parents learning too
Picking up a new language alongside your child — because accountability is better shared.
Curious parents
Giving your child the cognitive and cultural gifts of growing up bilingual.
What we believe
Reading comes first
The story is the point. Games and exercises serve the reading — never the other way around.
Honest, not hypey
We're in early access and we'll always tell you where we are. No inflated claims.
Built for two
Every screen assumes a parent and a child, side by side — not a child left alone with a device.
Languages chosen with care
Five languages we know deeply, so the translations and pronunciation feel right.
