Getting started

6

Tildi is a family language learning app that turns the picture books you already read at bedtime into personalised German, Spanish, French and other language lessons. Parents scan a page, then Tildi builds a 10-minute daily lesson, vocabulary games and guided practice conversations around the exact words and phrases in your books.

Open Tildi on your phone, tap the scan button and point your camera at any page of a picture book. The app reads the text, extracts the words and phrases, then turns them into a lesson in the language your family is learning. You can scan as many pages or books as you like on Pro.

Tildi supports 15 languages: Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Swedish, Polish, Russian, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Arabic, Turkish and English. You choose one learning language and one native language for your family when you sign up.

Tildi is built for parents to use alongside their children. Adults hold the account, manage subscriptions and scan books, while children learn the new words during the bedtime routine. The interface uses child-friendly language, large tap targets and clear visuals so the whole family can take part.

Yes. Tildi gives you native-language instructions, translations, audio playback and hints, so you can learn alongside your child even if you are a beginner. The app becomes your co-teacher.

Unlike general language apps that teach generic vocabulary, Tildi builds lessons from the books your family already loves. This keeps the content relevant, emotional and tied to your bedtime routine, which helps children remember new words more naturally.

Lessons and games

7

Every day Tildi creates a short, personalised lesson called Today's Library Lesson. It starts with a quick vocabulary check, then teaches new words and phrases taken from the books you have scanned, mixes in review words you have met before, and finishes with a summary showing new words learnt, words practised and your accuracy.

Tildi includes a variety of language games: Quick Quiz, Fill in the Blank, Phrase Builder, Word Swap, Opposite Pairs and a daily Grammar Feed. Each game reinforces real phrases from your scanned books, so children are always learning language that matters to them.

Yes. Every word and phrase can be played aloud in a natural voice by tapping the speaker icon. Pro users also get pronunciation feedback: say a word or phrase out loud and Tildi tells you how close you got.

Phrase packs are themed collections of real-life phrases for family moments, such as bathtime, ordering food at a café, visiting the doctor or the school run. They let you practise useful sentences beyond the books you have scanned. Pro unlocks every pack and lets you build your own.

Yes. Pro users can create custom phrase packs with their own words and sentences, so you can practise anything your family is working on, from holiday vocabulary to classroom phrases.

The word list is a searchable collection of every word your family has collected from books, phrase packs, lessons and chats. You can filter by source, hear any word pronounced, and see which phrases you have mastered. Words are always shown in the language you are learning, with your native language alongside.

Tildi tracks your daily learning time across lessons, games, vocab tests and chats. You build a streak for consecutive days of practice and earn stars for completed activities. You can also share a public progress link with family members if you want to celebrate milestones.
