What you can do in Mothertongue on the web
Daily 10-card session
Due and never-seen words come first; Got it pushes a word out 1, 2, 4, 7, 14 then 30 days, Didn’t brings it back in ten minutes. Calm pacing, no clock.
Three heritage languages
Yorùbá, Tagalog and Marathi, each with the written form, a transliteration and the English — the words grandma actually used.
Themed decks
Family, kitchen, body and weather decks per language; read every card, hear it, and practise just that deck.
Sentence builder
Tap words from a palette to compose a sentence, hear it spoken, and save the ones you want to keep.
Listening practice
Hear a word and pick which of four English meanings it was; your heard-right tally is kept per language.
Progress without pressure
Words settled per deck, cards per day over eight weeks, and every session — with nothing to break.

Questions
Is the web version of Mothertongue free?+
Yes. Sign in with a free All Things AI account and use every screen — no subscription, no in-app purchases.
Where is my data stored?+
Only in this browser's local storage. Nothing you enter is sent to our servers, so we can't see it, back it up, or restore it. Clearing site data, a private window, or another device starts empty. Export a backup from the in-app menu to keep it.
Do I need an account?+
You can read about the app without one, but you must sign in to open it. Sign-in is free and takes a few seconds with Google.
How is the web version different from the Mothertongue iPhone app?+
Spoken audio uses your browser’s speech voices; Yorùbá, Filipino and Marathi voices are only available if your device has them installed, otherwise a default voice reads the transliteration-style text. Carries four themed decks per language — family, kitchen, body and weather — rather than the full set of eight.
