Mija, ya llegué a casa. ¿Los niños hicieron la tarea?
Seen by Emma in English: I got home. Did the kids do homework?
Yes. They also want to show you their drawings after dinner.
Abuela reads in Spanish: Sí. También quieren enseñarte sus dibujos después de cenar.

Language practice built into the family group chat.
HiOla is for mixed-language families where one person keeps translating for everyone. It makes the chat itself bilingual, so parents, grandparents, kids, cousins, and in-laws can learn Spanish, practice English, and participate without changing how they write. For a broader language-learning overview, visit the learn Spanish conversation practice page.
