I wanted my daughter to actually speak French, not just tap multiple-choice buttons or memorize vocabulary lists she’d forget a week later.
So I built a rough prototype: a simple AI phone call that asked her three basic questions. The first time she answered with a real sentence out loud, her face lit up, and I knew I’d stumbled onto something.
That prototype became Spoon Academy: a 1-on-1 space where anyone can build real speaking confidence with an AI partner who never judges, never gets tired, and celebrates every win. I built every part of it myself.
