Mahlahle: Kids Languages
South African Languages
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad
Explore South Africa, one word at a time! Mahlahle is a playful language app for kids aged 2 to 12, with colourful lessons, games and friendly characters that make learning a South African language feel like an adventure.
Travel across a map of South Africa with Mahlahle, your guide. Each province is a new trip: learn words, play games and collect souvenirs as you go. Little learners hear every word, see it in pictures and say it aloud, and Mahlahle reads the instructions out loud, so even children who can't read yet can play on their own.
11 SOUTH AFRICAN LANGUAGES
Afrikaans, isiNdebele, isiXhosa, isiZulu, Khoikhoi, Sepedi, Sesotho, Setswana, siSwati, Tshivenḓa and Xitsonga.
WHAT'S INSIDE
• A journey across South Africa: nine provinces, each with its own theme, lessons and souvenir to earn.
• Short lessons: hear the word, see the picture and say it, a few minutes a day.
• Games for learning through play: count, pop, match, sort, find the pairs and spot the odd one out.
• Word books with hundreds of words: days, months, numbers, colours, family, food, body parts, animals and more.
• Real recordings and natural voices, so children hear how every word is said.
• Gentle and encouraging: wrong answers get a wiggle and another try, never a fail screen.
• Progress you can see: streaks, beads, gold necklaces and souvenirs to collect.
• A grown-ups area behind a simple gate, for settings, profiles and subscriptions.
Start free and explore. A subscription opens every province, game and word book.
Join the Mahlahle adventure and help your child connect with the languages and cultures of South Africa.
