FAQ

Learn to Talk is a British-made learning system created by Oxbridge Baby. We’ve been helping children say their First Words since 2005 through gentle, magical videos, media and resources that make learning feel like play. Our ad-free app features hundreds of preschool learning videos, including the exclusive 25-part ‘Learn to Talk – The Series’, plus interactive games, activities and over 200 baby sign language words.

Learn to Talk has been created by Oxbridge Baby, a London-based production company specialising in preschool learning content. Our YouTube channel has over two million followers and one billion views worldwide. The original Learn to Talk DVD was developed in collaboration with Paediatric Speech & Language Therapist Gillian Hart.

Our content is designed for children from early babbling through to first sentences. It works beautifully for toddlers developing typically (usually 12-36 months) and is especially helpful for older children who are late talkers or need extra support with first words.
