Jammul vs Lingokids
Lingokids and Jammul are both for young children, but Lingokids is a library of learning games, songs and videos in English for ages 2 to 8, while Jammul is a tutor that talks with your child out loud. Jammul starts in Saudi Arabic, remembers each child's words, and moves them to English step by step across four levels.

A games library or a tutor?
Lingokids is designed for the child to explore alone: they pick a game, song or video, and the app raises the difficulty as they progress. It is fun and covers many subjects.
Jammul has a narrower goal: for the child to speak English. Each lesson has a few words, a short game, then a conversation where the child uses those words, then a review of older words before they are forgotten.
Why starting in Arabic matters
A child who knows no English can't follow instructions that are all in English, so they just tap the screen. When the tutor explains in their own dialect, they understand what is being asked and try saying the word themselves. Over time the Arabic fades and the English grows automatically.
Screens and time
Big activity libraries can keep a child hopping between games for a long time. In Jammul your plan sets the daily conversation minutes for each child, and each lesson is short, with a clear start and end.

Frequently asked questions
Is Jammul an alternative to Lingokids?
Jammul is an alternative if your goal is for your child to speak English. If you want a games library across several subjects, Lingokids offers that and Jammul does not.
Does Jammul have games?
Yes, every lesson has a “listen and pick the picture” game with the lesson's words, but the heart of the lesson is the spoken conversation with the character.
Which is better for a 2-year-old?
Both accept 2-year-olds. With Jammul we recommend a parent sits next to the child, and we show “play together” tips on screen.
