A Creeks lesson card: the word, what it means, the voice that said it, and the hold to speak button
The compare card: the word, the speaker and your own recording to play side by side

Hear it.Say it.Hear both.

Every card is one word or one line, spoken by someone who grew up saying it. Hold the button and talk, and the app plays them, then you. Your ear closes the gap, the way it always has.

On the bus? Tap can't talk right now and the card waits for later.

Pere the heron, the elder who hosts every Ijaw talk gateThe gate: the elder greets you for the hour, koide, and you greet him back. The gate opens when you do.

Then someone talks back.

Every lesson ends at a talk gate: a real person in a real place says a line to you and you answer out loud. The elder at the gate, the mother of the house, the woman at the market. That is where nodding along stops.

Say it and the gate opens. The path up the creek keeps every place you have passed, with the next one waiting.

Wherever you’re starting from.

You hear it at home, you are starting cold, or you are marrying in. Four minutes a day, from word one.
