About this app

Ba asks you something in Gujarati. You catch about half. You smile, nod, and answer her in English. Again.

You're not bad at Gujarati. You grew up hearing it, so it's already in there somewhere. You just never had a low pressure way to practice saying it out loud, with nobody rushing you and nothing to prove.

That's what Bolo is for.

It's built for us. Second gen, third gen, the ones who understand far more than we can say. Short audio lessons that teach you to actually speak, starting with the words you'd use with your own family. Not "where is the train station." Kem cho? Have you eaten?

You listen. You say it back. You fumble it, then you land it. Give it a few minutes a day and the words start showing up when you need them.

Why it works:
- It's all audio. You learn by ear and by voice, the same way you picked up the bits you already know.
- No new alphabet to memorise. Everything's written the way it sounds, with the English next to it, so you can start right now.
- The words you'd really use. Greetings, family, food at the table, small talk, phone calls, blessings.
- Little and often. Bite size lessons and a daily streak you won't want to break.

Your guide is Savaj, a Gir lion from back home. He's patient. He's proud of you. He'll never make you feel silly for trying.

And here's the honest reason to start now. The conversations you most want with your grandparents happen in Gujarati, and none of us have forever. Learn the words while it still counts.

Bolo's free. Say your first ones tonight.
