Bring language learning home with Glurbs!

From the team behind Language Angels, Glurbs is our app designed for children to enjoy at home. While Language Angels supports language learning in school, Glurbs gives children their own interactive adventure where they can practise French, Spanish or Italian through lessons, challenges and games as they journey through space.

Glurbs is a separate learning experience from Language Angels, with its own content and progression designed specifically for learning at home. Rather than following the Language Angels curriculum, children explore a wide range of topics as they travel through the Glurbs galaxy, building vocabulary and developing their language skills along the way.

What is Glurbs?

LANGUAGE LEARNING DOESN'T NEED TO STOP AT SCHOOL

Learning a language takes practice, repetition and confidence.

Glurbs gives children another way to develop those skills outside the classroom, through an experience designed for play and learning at home.

Children explore a colourful galaxy of themed planets, learning new vocabulary and language skills as they complete lessons, challenges and games.

The result is screen time with a purpose: real language learning wrapped inside an adventure children can enjoy at their own pace.

Language Angels and Glurbs: two different ways to learn

Language Angels and Glurbs share the same belief that children should develop a positive relationship with language learning — but they're designed for different environments.

Language Angels

  • Designed for primary schools
  • Teacher-led language learning
  • Classroom focused lessons and resources
  • Helps teachers deliver engaging language education
  • Built for teachers and their pupils

Glurbs

  • Designed for children to use at home
  • Child-led learning through play
  • Interactive lessons, games and challenges
  • Encourages children to practise and develop their skills through play
  • Built for children and their parents

Glurbs doesn't replace language learning at school — it complements it by giving children another way to learn, practise and enjoy languages at home.

How it works

  1. Glurbs is free to download from the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.

  2. Once in the app, children choose the language they want to learn from French, Spanish or Italian, create their own Glurb character and begin their adventure with free beginner lessons and games.

  3. They can then continue learning through bite-sized lessons, challenges, rewards and themed planets. Families who want to keep exploring can unlock full access with a subscription.

  4. Parents can also follow their child's progress through the Parent Dashboard, making it easy to see what they have been learning at home.

What do children do in Glurbs?

Glurbs turns language learning into an intergalactic adventure.

Children create their own Glurbs character before travelling across themed planets, completing language activities and putting what they've learned into practice.
