Mukashi: Bilingual Kids Books

You don't have to speak the language to give it to them.

Mukashi is a bilingual storybook for children. Every line shows the words, how they sound, and what they mean — so a parent who doesn't speak Japanese, Spanish or Arabic can still sit down and read one tonight.

READ TOGETHER, IN TWO LANGUAGES Each line carries three layers at once: the original text, an optional pronunciation guide, and a word-by-word meaning in your language, with the full sentence underneath. Nothing is hidden behind a quiz or a tap. The meaning is simply already there, so the story never stops.

THE PRONUNCIATION YOU DON'T HAVE Tap any word to open its card — meaning, part of speech, and audio in a natural voice. You supply the reading-together; the app supplies the part you can't.

THE WORDS THAT STAY Save any word to My Words, your child's own flashcard deck, and review at whatever pace suits. Because the words arrive inside a story they wanted to hear, they stick better than a list ever manages.

OR JUST READ THE STORY Some nights nobody wants a lesson. Story Mode strips the glosses away and leaves a calm, single-language read, sentence by sentence.

FEATURES • Trilayer reading — text, pronunciation and per-word meaning on every line • Tap-to-translate — open any word for its meaning and hear it spoken • Read-aloud — natural text-to-speech in every supported language • My Words — save vocabulary and review it with built-in flashcards • Grammar colours — every word tinted by its part of speech, no lesson required • Story Mode — a clean single-language read when that is all you want • Original storybook-style illustrations on every page • Four cosy themes (Classic, Night, Cream, Forest) and adjustable text size • Works fully offline — every story ships inside the app • A PIN-protected parent area and an optional daily reading limit

THIRTEEN LANGUAGES, ANY PAIR English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Turkish, Arabic, Bengali, Chinese, Japanese and Korean. Combine any two, in either direction — learn Spanish from English, English from Korean, or keep a grandparent's language alive at home.

FOLK TALES FROM AROUND THE WORLD From Momotaro to the Tortoise and the Hare, Anansi the Spider to the Thirsty Crow, Little Red Riding Hood to the Blue Jackal — stories children have loved for generations, retold simply and beautifully illustrated. New tales are added over time, and every one you own stays yours.

FOR ANYONE READING BETWEEN LANGUAGES Whether you are raising a bilingual child, holding on to a heritage language, or picking one up yourself, Mukashi moves at your pace. There are no streaks to keep, no points to chase and nothing to fail — just a story, twice over.
