Lesson-hook videos are narrated in the subject's own language.
Eight languages on top of English and Danish: German, Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Swedish and Norwegian. The narrator is picked from the subject automatically — and teachers can force a specific language whenever they want.
What's new
Eight languages out of the box
German, Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Swedish and Norwegian — alongside Danish and English. Each language has its own fallback narrator line.
Auto-detection from the subject
Type the subject as 'German' or 'Tysk' — the system picks the right narrator. Zero extra clicks for MFL teachers.
Manual override
Reading a Spanish novel inside an English lesson? Force the narrator to Spanish per video so the framing follows the context.
Cache per language
Language is part of the prompt hash. German and English narrations of the same prompt cache independently — no collisions, faster re-runs.
Natural pronunciation
The narrator is trained in the target language — no heavy English accent when Goethe is quoted in German.
Privacy by default
PII scrubbing before every AI call. Prompts are not retained at the provider, and pupil names never leave EU hosting.
Examples from the classroom
MFL teacher opens the lesson
In Year 9 German, the teacher plays the lesson-hook video. The Goethe extract is read in correct German, and pupils with dyslexia hear the same voice in their overview.
Lower years meet French
A Year 3 theme touches French. The teacher forces the narrator to French for a single unit — children hear the rhythm before they meet the words.
Home learning, together
A parent plays a Spanish recap on a Sunday revision session. The voice supports the text rather than pulling focus away from it.
Cross-curricular project
Citizenship and MFL run an EU week. English narration for the UK, German for Germany — without manual tagging.
Security & compliance
EU hosting
The whole pipeline runs on Hetzner in Germany (primary) and Finland (backup). Videos cache in the same region as the audio.
PII scrubbing before AI
CPR, NI, email and phone are blocked before the prompt leaves our edge — regardless of language.
Frequently asked questions
Do we pick the language every time?
No. If the subject name is unambiguous (German, Tysk, Spanish, Spansk etc.) the choice is automatic. Force a language only when context demands it.
What happens if the AI stumbles?
Each language ships with a short fallback line in the target tongue. Pupils always hear something that sounds right — never English fragments.
Which subjects does this cover today?
It is not limited to MFL — you can force German in a history unit on WW2 or French in a food technology unit. It is one setting per video.
