About

Raising a child in a busy bilingual household is a tough task for anyone. As parents ourselves, we kept looking for a simple vocabulary app that could help us refresh our Cantonese and Mandarin so we could keep speaking it to our daughter. The search didn't turn up with too many options: apps were either focused on grammar, writing, or were simply too complicated to use.

We set out to build a vocabulary soundboard to help with speaking to our daughter so she could pick up on Chinese words in speech. After finishing a rough prototype, we started to do a screen-recording to show some friends.

Imagine our surprise when she wandered over and began repeating Cantonese words without any prompting halfway through the filming!

BabbleBoard is made with simplicity in mind. We have one simple goal: to catch and maintain the attention of language speakers of all abilities so they can build up their vocabulary.
