TongueDojo
You speak some of your family's language — your little brother or sister barely does. TongueDojo turns you into their tutor: add up to ten family words, and it plans four ten-minute sessions spread over a week (spacing is what makes words stick), each built around one real tutoring move — wait, give the smallest hint, praise the effort, notice the slip. Print the plan and a little picture book for them. Nothing recorded, nothing translated by a machine, on-device. Ages 15-18.

Meet the cast
TongueDojo's crew are the four tutoring moves a teen uses to teach a younger sibling the family language (15-18, text-forward). Threebeat gives the quiet that lets a younger child find the word. Firstsound offers the smallest help that could unstick them. Kindword names the effort, not the talent. Spotslip catches the exact slip - and keeps it kind.
