About this app

DesiLingo is a friendly, Duolingo-style app that helps kids learn Indian languages through short lessons, picture games, and the alphabet — one tap at a time.

Pick your language and DesiLingo shapes everything around it: greetings, family words, numbers, colors, food, days, common verbs, and useful everyday phrases. Switch any time from the home screen — your progress in each language is tracked separately.

★ Three languages, more on the way

• Telugu — తెలుగు
• Hindi — हिन्दी
• Kannada — ಕನ್ನಡ

Each language ships with 30 units, 150 bite-sized lessons, the full alphabet with sound, picture words, mini-games, and word scan.
Marathi, Tamil, Bengali, Gujarati and Punjabi are queued up next.

★ What's inside each language

• 150 short lessons across 30 units
From "Hello" and "Thank you" up to ordering food, asking directions, idioms, and short conversations. Each lesson is five exercises — a few minutes long. Tap to translate, tap to listen, drag to match.

• The whole alphabet, with sound
Walk through every vowel and consonant in the script, with an example word per letter. Then test yourself with the Alphabet Quiz.

• Four mini-games
Picture Match · spot the picture for the word
Letter Catch · tap falling letters before they reach the bottom
Picture Bingo · 4×4 grid, mark the picture as the caller speaks
Story Scramble · drag short story sentences into the right order

• Word Scan
Point your camera at any English word and DesiLingo shows you the
equivalent in your chosen language, with the pronunciation underneath.

★ Built for kids, designed with parents in mind

• Encouragement, not punishment — every right answer sparks a chime,
confetti, and a kind message. Wrong answers get a gentle nudge.
• Daily goal you can set and forget — presets or roll your own. We
quietly track your streak.
• Hearts that refill — five lives, one back every 30 minutes, so a
tough day never blocks tomorrow.
• Trophies + a cabinet of badges — first lesson, half the alphabet,
week-long streak, course complete… with a share-card for each.
• Reduced-motion mode — turn off confetti and bouncing if it's too much.
• Daily reminder — a gentle nudge at a time you pick, with the app's
progress folded into the message.

★ Why DesiLingo

I built DesiLingo for my daughter, who I wanted to grow up familiar
with the languages her grandparents speak. Indian-language learning
apps for kids are thin on the ground — DesiLingo is my attempt at one
with the polish and pacing of the best language apps in the world.

Try a lesson — let me know what's missing.

— DesiLingo. For the next generation of desi kids.
