Learn the Hokkien
your family speaks
Lannang teaches Philippine Hokkien (Lan-nang-ue), the heritage language of Chinese Filipino families, in bite-size lessons with audio, streaks, and a friendly guide named Dada.
What is Lannang?
If you grew up hearing your ama and angkong speak Hokkien but never learned to answer back, this app is for you. Short, friendly lessons build from hello and thank you to real conversations, using the phrases Chinoy families actually use, including the natural mixing with Tagalog and English.
This is real Lannang-ue, not Mandarin and not textbook Taiwanese Hokkien. It is made for Gen Z Chinoys reclaiming the language of their families. The goal is confidence: enough vocabulary and courage to say the next thing to the people you love.
Real family words
Phrases Chinoy families actually use, including the natural mixing with Tagalog and English. Not Mandarin, not textbook Taiwanese.
Audio you can trust
Every word has audio, checked against real speakers so you learn how it actually sounds, not just how it is spelled.
Streaks that stick
Bite-size daily lessons, XP, and a streak flame keep you coming back. Miss a day and Dada gets a little worried.
Record and correct
Fluent in your family? Flag anything that sounds off and record it the right way. Your voice makes the app more honest.
