A whole generation is quietly losing the language its grandparents think in. AnnieKong is how you take it back — but before any lesson, sit for a minute with why. Then decide.
The real lesson screen — Annie models the phrase, you record, she scores your pronunciation against her reference.
Not "do you want lessons." Something simpler: who are you learning this for?
That's your first phrase. Annie will have you saying it — properly — in a single lesson.
Practise saying it →Native-speaker Hokkien, clear and slow. Tap to replay as many times as you like.
Speak into your phone. Annie listens the way a patient auntie does — no rush, no grading anxiety.
Annie transcribes what she heard and rates it on match and clarity — pass and move on, or 按呢讲 and try again.
Not flashcards, not a phrasebook — guided speaking practice with real feedback, from your very first hello.
The heartland accent your family actually speaks at the dinner table — learned from native speakers, not textbook Taiwanese. Simplified characters, plain street spelling, no Tâi-lô homework.
Say it wrong seven times and the eighth time Annie just shows you again — a real score and a specific tip each round, so you know exactly which sound to fix.
Every phrase you practised, written down with meaning and your score — ready to revise. Progress you can see, so you always know your next step.
Kopitiam ordering, CNY visiting, or "help me talk to Ah Ma." Ask in English or mix in Mandarin — Annie follows along and steers you gently back to Hokkien.
One phrase at a time: Annie models it, you record, she scores you on match and clarity. Miss it? She says it like this — 按呢讲 — and you go again. No shame, no grinding.
Every session ends in cool-down — a vocab log with each phrase's status (ho say / practiced / parked), and one real-world field test. No homework, just talking.
A short guided lesson with Annie — she says it, you say it back, she scores your pronunciation.
Practise a phrase → 书Where these words come from — the history, the food names, the Hokkien hidden inside Singlish.
Explore the blog → 庙The clan houses, temples and festivals keeping it going — from the Singapore Hokkien Huay Kuan to Thian Hock Keng.
See what's on →Singapore Hokkien is fading with our grandparents. 按呢讲 — learn it before the conversation's gone.
Beyond the lessons, we're building something bigger: free-flowing Hokkien conversation with Annie — no script, no lesson plan, interrupt and ramble like a real phone call.
It's genuinely experimental and still finding its feet, so we keep it as an opt-in Beta rather than the main event. The lessons are where you'll actually learn. This is where AnnieKong is headed.
Group dialect classes in Singapore run S$200+ for four sessions. Annie costs less than a kopi a day — and never runs out of patience.
Launch prices in SGD, 9% GST included. Cancel anytime. Schools, clans & community groups — talk to us about the Whole Kampung plan.
Annie's whole personality — and our whole trust-and-safety policy — fits in three Hokkien phrases.
Fumble a tone and she never sighs — she shows you the shape of the sentence and waits. As many rounds as it takes.
When a heavy day creeps into your voice, Annie eases off the lesson and just talks with you. Auntie first, teacher second.
Vulgarities get the full auntie telling-off, then straight back to practice. Learn Hokkien, not hooliganism.
Buay hiau is the starting line, not a verdict — that's why the free tier is named after it. Annie starts from zero; by the end of your first lesson you'll know how to ask an Ah Ma if she's eaten.
You speak, and Annie scores you. Every phrase, she listens to your pronunciation and tells you exactly which sound to fix — then you try again until it sticks. Reading and watching can't do that; talking to a patient teacher can.
No lah — Annie is an AI auntie, and we'll never pretend otherwise. That's exactly why she works: unlimited patience, zero pai seh, happy to practise at 11pm. The Hokkien is real, learned from native speakers.
Free-form chat with Annie — no lesson, just talking. It's experimental and still rough around the edges, so we keep it opt-in and clearly labelled. Your learning happens in the guided lessons, which are solid; the Beta is a preview of where we're heading. You won't stumble into it by accident.
Singapore. Annie speaks heartland Hokkien — the phrases your family actually uses — in simplified characters with plain street spelling. No Tâi-lô homework.
You do. Every practice session and its log belongs to you — export everything or delete everything, anytime. No dark patterns, no drama.
The best time to learn Hokkien was twenty years ago — the second-best time is your kopi break.
