## About the product

Igisha is a freemium language-learning app built by **Igisha Inc.**, founded by **Leonce Nshuti**, for people who want to learn or improve **Kinyarwanda**, **Swahili**, **English**, or **French**, with a focus on practical conversation and culturally grounded learning rather than rote memorization.

Key capabilities include:
- **Practical daily conversation lessons** built around real-life situations with family, clients, and community, offered across **hundreds of Kinyarwanda and Swahili phrases**
- **Native-speaker audio** with text-to-speech support for pronunciation and listening comprehension
- **Culture notes** that add context to how phrases and expressions are actually used
- **Offline-capable, gamified lessons**, plus a **free 3-minute lesson** available with no signup
- **Region-specific modes** aimed separately at diaspora learners and Rwanda-based users, alongside dark mode and accessibility support (WCAG 2.2 AA)

Available on **Web**, **Android** (Google Play), and **iOS** (App Store).

It targets **B2C learners**: heritage speakers and diaspora communities reconnecting with Kinyarwanda or Swahili, alongside people living in or engaging with Rwanda and the broader East and Central African region. The app markets a goal of conversational Kinyarwanda in around three weeks, and its own store listings name Rwanda, the DRC, and Uganda as core Kinyarwanda-speaking markets, with Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Zanzibar, and the DRC named for Swahili.
