How to create a KidsLingua account

Sign up in the app in under a minute: your name, email and a password. The phone number and invite code are optional.

0:38 · No narration, just the app's own sounds. Every step is written out below.

  1. The KidsLingua welcome screen, with the grey cat mascot and an orange Next button.

    Step 1 of 8

    Open the app and tap Next

    The first time you open KidsLingua, the welcome screen asks you to take a moment to set up safety controls for your child. Tap Next to carry on.

  2. The "I want to Learn" screen, listing Hausa, Igbo and Yoruba under a search box.

    Step 2 of 8

    Choose the language to learn

    Pick the language your child will learn: Hausa, Igbo or Yoruba.

  3. The guest home screen with the learning tiles, and the Login icon at the top right.

    Step 3 of 8

    Tap Login at the top right

    On the home screen, tap the Login icon (a person with a padlock) at the top right. The sign-up form is reached from the login screen.

  4. The login screen, with "Don't have an account? Sign Up" under the Login button.

    Step 4 of 8

    Tap Sign Up

    Under the Login button, next to Don't have an account?, tap Sign Up.

  5. The sign-up form with an example name and email filled in, above the phone number, password and invite code boxes.

    Step 5 of 8

    Enter your name and email

    Type your Full Name and your Email address (the grey text in each box is just an example). Use an email you can open: it's how you log in. (The details in the video are examples.)

  6. The sign-up form with an example phone number, next to the password box.

    Step 6 of 8

    Add a phone number (optional) and a password

    A Phone Number is optional. Then choose a Password (tap the eye icon to check what you've typed). Your phone may offer to create and save a strong password for you.

  7. The completed sign-up form, with the optional invite code box and the orange Next button.

    Step 7 of 8

    Invite code? Then tap Next

    If a friend gave you an Invite code, type it in the last box; otherwise leave it empty. Tap Next and wait a moment while it says Creating….

  8. A "Registration Successful" message above the Configure Your Lesson Plan screen.

    Step 8 of 8

    Your account is ready

    You'll see Registration Successful and a welcome. The app then shows Configure Your Lesson Plan, for booking live lessons with a teacher: those are a paid extra. The games and learning path are free.
