Layliskaaga samee.Do your homework.

Using Laylis at home

Point at the real thing and say "Laylis" whenever it comes up, then let your child hear the native recording and say it back. One word used ten times in a day beats ten words drilled once. In the Luuqad app, Laylis is taught with a picture, tested in the School quiz and practised in Tap the Word.
