About this app

Lea Fakatonga is an affordable language learning app built for the Tongan diaspora. Whether you grew up hearing Tongan at home or you are starting from scratch, Lea Fakatonga meets you where you are and makes the journey feel rewarding.

LEARN WITH FLASHCARDS
Flip through vocabulary cards across 16 categories — Greetings, Family, Numbers, Colors, Food and Drink, Body, School, Lotu, Emotions, Time,
Nature, Home, Places, People, Transport, and Animals. Each word is paired with audio recorded by fluent Tongan speakers, so you hear the real pronunciation from day one.

TEST YOURSELF WITH QUIZZES
Multiple-choice quizzes weight the words you find hardest, so every session moves you forward. Finish a quiz and earn XP on the reward screen.

BUILD A DAILY HABIT
Your streak counts every day you open the app. Miss a day? A streak freeze keeps your run alive. Earn a category badge when you master every word in a set.

CULTURALLY AUTHENTIC
The design draws from Tongan visual identity: the deep crimson of the national flag, warm Pacific gold, and the geometric beauty of the ngatu (traditional tapa barkcloth). Dark mode only.

BUILT TO LAST
Lea Fakatonga is $3.99/month — try it free for 7 days, cancel any time. No ads, ever. A voluntary donation option helps fund native speaker recordings and keeps the app growing.

Ratings and reviews

I just signed up. I just quickly browsed it because of work, but I saw the TikTok and I'm excited for it. I'm Samoan but my kids are Half Tongan and my Other Half is Tongan so I want to relate to him and speak with him while teaching my kids as well. So far so good, thanks for making an app!!! Love it

Fantastic app. Love using it to teach myself and my fam the language of our ancestors.

the app just freezes right at the very beginning of start up. please fix
