Match the child’s level
Adjust the balance of Japanese and English, the length of an explanation and the difficulty of the next prompt without making the child start over.
AI for bilingual kidsIn planning — not available yet
An AI tutor for Japanese and English practice.
We are planning an AI tutor to help children practise Japanese and English. Parents would manage it, and practice would match each child’s level.
This tutor is still an idea in development. It is not available yet.

Built around play
Why this matters
Children may feel more confident in one language.
A child may know playground words in English, family words in Japanese and the idea they want to express in both — but not yet have the same confidence in each language.
The tutor would start with what a child knows and help them practise what is harder.
Where AI can help
Practice that fits each child.
Teachers and families would choose what children learn. AI would help children practise it.
Make speaking less intimidating
Offer short, low-pressure conversation practice and gentle pronunciation feedback before a child is ready to speak in a classroom or larger group.
Practise words from our games
Bring words from Word Fall, Drive Go Go and our other games into a conversation, then return difficult words to a future game for more practice.
Help when a child gets stuck
The tutor could offer a hint, show an example, use the other language, or break a task into smaller steps.
Practice step by step
Learn it. Play it. Say it. Meet it again.
We want children to practise the same words in lessons, games, and conversations with the tutor.
- 01
Learn
A short, human-reviewed lesson introduces useful words.
- 02
Play
Those words appear naturally inside a Sky Learning game.
- 03
Speak
The tutor invites the child to say or use the words.
- 04
Review
Practice returns later, based on what needs another look.
AI, with care
Children need clear safety rules.
AI can use many languages, but it can also make mistakes. Before children use the tutor, we need to test the lessons, safety rules, privacy controls, and parent settings.
Parents open the door
A parent or guardian would set up the tutor and choose the settings. They would be able to view or delete saved information and pause use.
People set the learning path
Educators and bilingual families define the vocabulary, objectives and age-appropriate boundaries. AI helps deliver the lesson; it does not invent the whole education.
Safety before and after every reply
We plan to check messages and replies for unsafe content. For sensitive topics, the tutor should guide the child to a trusted adult.
Collect less, keep less
Our plan is to avoid ad tracking and never sell children’s data. Audio and conversations should be kept only as long as needed for practice.
Always clear that it is AI
The tutor should never pretend to be a person, encourage secrecy or position itself as a replacement for family, teachers or friends.
Easy to stop and report
Children and parents should be able to stop practice or report a reply easily. The tutor should never pressure a child to keep talking.
Clear about the technology
AI tools need careful testing.
AI tools alone are not enough to make a tutor safe and useful for children. The lessons and safety rules also need careful design and testing.
We would choose and test the AI tools, add safety rules, and explain their limits to families.
The AI tutor is not in our current apps. This page explains our plans for a future product.
What it will not be
Some jobs should stay with people.
- —Not a replacement for a parent, teacher, therapist or friend.
- —Not an unrestricted doorway to the open internet.
- —It would not make major decisions about a child’s health, safety, or education.
- —Not an endless companion designed to keep a child talking.
Short practice, with time for everyday life.
Our goal is modest: help children use both Japanese and English with a little more confidence, then send them back to games, books, family and the world around them.
