The story
Short spoken English lessons for children aged 2 to 4: a little red octopus holds up picture cards, and your child hears a word, says it, touches it and names it.
Tatako is a small round octopus with eight arms, no socks and a habit of losing count at seven. He holds up picture cards and gives your child their first English words, five minutes a day.
Every lesson has the same calm rhythm: hear a word and say it, touch the right picture, then name it before Tatako does. There is nothing to read, so it works long before your child can.
Speak Spanish at home? Tatako is made for bilingual families. A Spanish guide voice explains what to do, and you switch it off when your child is ready.

What you’ll do
Hear it, touch it, name it
Each word plays three times with a pause to say it out loud, then comes back as a picture to touch and to name.
369 first words
From hello and mommy to colors, animals and what the teacher says at preschool. Shaky words come back first.
Two minutes for the grown-up
After each lesson you mark how every word went, and the next lesson knows what to repeat.
