Why parents choose Kancil
Duolingo won't teach your child Malay. Kancil will.
A real game, not flashcards
Word–picture matching, susun ayat, imbuhan drills, peribahasa cards and native-quality Malay audio — with streaks, coins and a mascot that celebrates every win.
Learning earns screen time
Lessons earn coins; you decide what they're worth. Kancil never controls the device — it's a trust ledger between you and your child, behind your PIN.
Built on the syllabus
130+ lessons across three skill levels. In Singapore, aligned to the MOE Bahasa Melayu 2024 syllabus up to the PSLE band; mapped to Tahun 1–6 for Malaysia & Brunei.
Private by design
No ads. No account. No analytics. No tracking. Your child's progress never leaves the device — there's no server for it to go to.
The screen-time contract
The #1 parent–kid fight, turned into the reward loop.
Your child learns
Five focused minutes of Bahasa Melayu earns coins for every question answered.
You set the rate
"1 lesson = 10 minutes." You choose the exchange rate in the parent dashboard.
You grant the time
Coins become minutes when you say so. Kancil only keeps the ledger — you stay in control.
One kopi a month
Free to start — the first lessons are free and forever-replayable. Kancil Premium unlocks every level with a 7-day free trial, then a simple monthly or yearly plan at local pricing. Malay tuition runs S$50–80 an hour; Kancil is a fraction of one lesson.
