Build the language tutor that never runs out of patience.
Two skills for one. Your kid builds a real AI tutor for the language they’re learning — English, Chinese, Spanish, French, Japanese, you name it — and then learns with it every day. They design its personality, teach it how to correct gently, load it with their actual school vocab, and practise speaking with it out loud. It’s the practice partner every language learner needs: endlessly patient, available at 9pm before the test, and built by the kid themselves — which is exactly why they’ll actually use it.

WHY IT’S DIFFERENT
A whole game — made with AI, end to end.
Every language learner needs more practice than any class or parent can give. This course turns that problem into an engineering project. Four skills, woven through all 6 weeks:
Language AI
How AI speaks dozens of languages, how it corrects, where it slips — and how to test your tutor so you can trust it.
Teaching Design
Your kid becomes the teacher-designer: levels, gentle corrections, spaced practice — real learning science, applied to their own tutor.
Speaking & Listening
Voice conversations with the tutor: speaking practice, listening drills and transcript checks — useful feedback without pretending speech recognition is a pronunciation exam.
AI Coding
AI coding from absolute zero: describe what you want, let the AI build it, read what it wrote, tweak it, test it. The same loop every week until it’s second nature — and a complete product at the end.
THE LONG-TERM GROWTH
Skills your child practises while they build.
Each capability is tied to something children actually do in the course. The lesson markers below show where that practice happens.
Training intensity describes how strongly and how often the course deliberately practises a capability. It is not a score for your child.

THE BUILD
6 weeks, 6 things they can show.
Built for absolute beginners: week 1 starts from an empty project, each week adds one skill and one working feature, and by week 3 your kid is already practising with the tutor between classes.
1
Meet your tutor
Pick your language and your goal (school French? family Mandarin? Spanish from zero?). Design the tutor’s name and personality — patient? funny? a little strict? First conversation.
AI this week: AI helps craft the tutor’s character in a system prompt; you test-chat in your target language at your level.

2
Teach it how to teach
The week your kid becomes a teacher-designer: level calibration, corrections that encourage instead of embarrass, explaining in English (or Chinese) when you’re stuck.
AI this week: Prompt engineering for pedagogy — you write the teaching rules, then test them with deliberately wrong sentences.

Your words, your world
Load YOUR content: this term’s school vocab list, words for talking to grandma, the food you actually eat. Plus the science of spaced practice.
AI this week: AI builds the vocab store and drill engine; you feed it your real lists and tune how often words come back.

Speak to it
Voice mode: real spoken conversations and listening exercises. Kids compare what they said with what speech recognition heard, without pretending that a transcript is a clinical pronunciation score.
AI this week: AI wires up speech-to-text and the tutor’s voice; kids test both halves separately, then opt in before saving a family-only replay.

Games & quests
Make practice something you choose to do: design one role-play quest with a clear goal, then improve it after a classmate playtests it. A streak counter is an extension, not a launch blocker.
AI this week: AI builds the quest scenario from the kid’s real vocabulary; classmates test clarity, difficulty and whether the tutor stays within the supplied material.

Launch & the 21-day challenge
Polish the interface, launch at your own link, demo to the families — parents get to try stumping it. Then the real test: a 21-day practice streak.

WHAT THEY WALK AWAY WITH
Real skills, and a game with their name on it.
- ✓The AI-coding builder’s loop, learned from zero: describe → build → read → tweak → test
- ✓A working AI language tutor they engineered — and use daily
- ✓Prompt engineering for teaching: levels, corrections, scaffolding
- ✓Learning science they’ll keep: spaced practice, retrieval, speaking-first
- ✓Voice interfaces: speech in, speech out, transcript checking and consent-aware replay
- ✓Testing an AI for trust: finding and fixing its mistakes
- ✓A 21-day practice habit with a tool they built themselves

FAQS
Common questions.
Is this an in-person class?
Yes. Students build the tutor face to face, then use the practice tool they created at home between sessions.
Which languages does it work for?
Any major language — English, Mandarin, Cantonese, Spanish, French, Japanese, Korean, German and more. Kids pick the language they’re actually learning at school, or the family language they’re growing up around.
Would this help a child learning a family language?
Yes. They can build the tutor around words and situations that matter at home, such as talking with grandparents or preparing for weekend language school.
Can the AI teach something incorrectly?
It can make mistakes. We show students how to compare answers with class material, spot a problem and improve the tutor. It is a practice partner, not a replacement for their teacher.
Does my kid need coding experience?
None — this is designed as a first AI-coding course. Week 1 starts from an empty project, and the pace is deliberately gradual: one new step of the building loop each week, with the same small-group teacher support throughout. Kids finish having built a complete product from scratch.
Is it private?
Yes. The tutor lives at a private family link, conversations stay in your family account, and everything runs through our kid-safe gateway with strict content rules.
What happens if my child misses a week?
Contact us before the next class. We will check which part of the tutor they missed and explain the catch-up option.
