Open contribution platform

African languages should be built by the people who speak them

We are digitising language infrastructure for a continent. That only works if native speakers and language experts hold the pen.

Ways to contribute

You do not need to be a teacher. You need to know the language and care about getting it right.

Record your voice

Read lesson phrases in your own accent. Regional variation is the point, not a problem.

Review and correct

Check tone marks, spelling and translation on lessons before they ship.

Write cultural notes

Explain when a greeting is used, who it is for, and what it would mean to skip it.

Build a new language

Lead a language that has no course yet — from alphabet to first module.

Every phrase we teach carries context — who says it, to whom, and what it signals. A greeting stripped of that is just vocabulary.

Contributors decide what belongs in a lesson. We build the platform; you keep it true.

Tell us your language

Which language, which region, and how you came to speak it.

Short verification call

A 20-minute conversation with a linguist on our team.

Pick how you contribute

Record, review, write, or lead — as much or as little as you have time for.
