Information about curriculum
Lingokids follows a skills-based curriculum aligned with global educational standards, integrating gamification and thematic storytelling to make learning engaging and interactive.
Pedagogical design
Lingokids is designed with a strong foundation in educational theories such as constructivism, socio-cultural theory, and gamification. Constructivism emphasizes active learning, allowing children to build knowledge through engaging interactions within the app. Socio-cultural theory highlights collaborative and contextual learning, which is supported by our Playtogether games and guided parent-child interactions. Additionally, gamification principles ensure that learning remains fun, motivating, and goal-oriented, fostering a positive emotional connection to the educational process.

User Experience
User interface
Yes. Interface is design for kids and they can easily navigate and play on their own. For example, we have reduced the number of feeds in order to offer clarity about the activities and increase the play ratio vs. scroll; we have also included recommendations in videos, and we have improved the covers of the activities, providing more info about what the activity is about by using images of the activity itself.
Data-driven product development
We measure the impact of every feature, including ALL new activities. All major initiatives normally undergo user testing and user research beforehand. As an example - we have run 50 A/B tests in the last 6 months and created almost 5000 charts analyzing our data
Geographic focus
No, but we do adapt the product to our two major user groups (native / non-native) An example of how we do this is to personalise the videos shown depending on their language level - as well as organize content by language level
