A Family with a Spanish language heritage.
A gap no one talked about.
In families with immigrant roots, something quietly happens. The children go to school, absorb English, and come home code-switching between two worlds. The parents stay behind — not from lack of effort, but from lack of a bridge built for them.
Existing language tools were built for individuals sitting alone with headphones. They teach vocabulary and grammar, but not how to navigate a parent-teacher conference, ask a doctor to repeat something slowly, or find the lactose-free milk.
"The children learned English. Their parents did not. And slowly, quietly, the dinner table got a little more silent."
Talkality is different. It is a board game played on a phone — in real scenarios, with real phrases, designed to be played with family members who already speak English. The child becomes the coach. The family becomes the classroom.
