About the app
What is BrytaAfrica?
BrytaAfrica is an app for discovering African history, folktales, and languages through short story-led lessons. It is designed for people who want to learn a little every day without feeling like they are back in school.
Who is it for?
Families, students, teachers, diaspora learners, and anyone curious about African stories and cultures. Children can enjoy the stories, and adults can go deeper through context, chapters, and language practice.
Is it really free?
Yes. You can start learning for free. The app is designed so families, students, teachers, and curious readers can begin without a gate in front of them.

Stories and sources
Who writes the stories?
Stories are shaped by editors, storytellers, and subject-matter review. The goal is simple: write clearly, credit sources, and make important lives memorable.
Where do you get your sources?
We use historical records, scholarship, oral traditions, and regional context. Where the record is thin or contested, the app should say so instead of pretending certainty.
Can I suggest a story?
Yes. Send us a note from the contact page. We especially welcome suggestions with region, source, language, or family context.
How do I report a correction?
Use the contact page with the story title, the sentence in question, and the source or context we should review.
Languages
How does language learning work?
Words and phrases are introduced inside stories so they have context. You learn what something means, when it is used, and why it matters.
Which languages are available?
The available list grows with the catalogue. Open the app to see the current languages and what is coming next.
Will you add my language?
We want the language catalogue to grow carefully. Send us the language, region, and any teacher or speaker network we should know about.
Do I need to speak the language to use the app?
No. Language moments are introduced in context, so beginners can follow the story and still pick up useful words and phrases.
Are the narrators native speakers?
That is the standard we work toward: voices should come from people close to the language and region being taught.

Privacy

Progress helps the app remember what you have read, what you saved, and where you should continue next.
Do you use ad tracking?
No. BrytaAfrica does not need ad tracking for the public web or current app experience. Product analytics should help improve the app without undermining trust.
