Imagine walking into a market in Lagos, Accra, or Dakar and hearing the lively rhythm of conversation around you. The greetings, the laughter, the bargaining—language brings it all to life. Now imagine being able to fully understand and speak back, not just in words, but with the right tones, the right expressions, the way a native speaker would.

That’s what Gemstones is here to help you do.

At Gemstones, we believe African languages are treasures—deep, rich, and full of meaning. However, there are unique aspects to  African languages. For instance, many African languages are tonal, meaning one word can have multiple meanings based on pronunciation. Take “akwa” in Igbo, for example: it can mean cry, cloth, egg, or bed, depending on how you say it. If you don’t get the tone right, you might end up calling your breakfast a bed!

Most language-learning apps weren’t built for African languages. We’re changing that.
