Child and learner accounts

Sign in with an account + PIN; how these accounts differ from a main account and from LINE.

A child account or learner account lets a child or learner sign in and practise on their own without a real email address. When a parent or teacher adds them in a space, the App creates an account and a PIN (at least 4 characters; follow the App’s hint).

Which account is which

Child accountLearner account
Added byA parent, in FamilyA teacher, in Teaching
Who signs inThe childThe learner
Typical usePractising together at home, parent proxy viewAssigned tasks, practice summaries before class

Family is for children and Teaching is for learners—don’t mix them. See Child accounts and Learner accounts.

How to sign in

  1. Open the web App (not LINE).
  2. On the sign-in page, choose Learner or child (not the email / Google / LINE side).
  3. Enter the account + PIN your parent or teacher gave you.

Child and learner accounts can’t sign in with LINE. Don’t try a Google or email password either.

How they differ from a main account

Parents and teachers keep using their own main account to manage the space, allocate minutes, and use proxy view. That is a separate session from the child’s or learner’s.
