About this app

Most language apps do not teach Gujarati or other south asian languages.

If you have been looking for a way to learn the language your family speaks, you have probably found that the big apps stop at Hindi, if they get to South Asia at all. Bolo! starts there.

SPEAK, DO NOT JUST TAP

Bolo! is built around your voice. You hear a phrase, you say it out loud, and Bolo! scores your pronunciation and tells you exactly what to fix. Tapping tiles teaches you to recognise words. Speaking teaches you to talk to your grandmother.

22 SOUTH ASIAN LANGUAGES

Assamese, Bengali, Bodo, Dogri, Gujarati, Hindi, Kannada, Kashmiri, Konkani, Maithili, Malayalam, Manipuri, Marathi, Nepali, Odia, Punjabi, Sanskrit, Santali, Sindhi, Tamil, Telugu and Urdu.

Spoken across India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Sri Lanka and everywhere the diaspora has settled. Every one is a real course with real phrases, not a token entry on a menu.

RIDE THE LINE

Each language is a railway line, and you travel it station by station. Every station is a topic: greetings, family, food, markets, travel, festivals. Complete a stop, earn your ticket, move up the line. You always know where you are and what comes next.

MEET CHACHA-JI

Pull into a roadside stop and Chacha-ji is there with his chai stall, ready with a line of Hinglish and a cup for the road. Earn Chai as you learn and spend it on outfits for Bolo, boosts, and small comforts along the way.

PRACTISE THE WAY YOU ACTUALLY TALK

Bolo Chat lets you hold a conversation and get corrected as you go. Eleven quick games sharpen listening, reading and recall in a couple of minutes each. Daily goals, streaks and a train-class ladder keep you moving without turning study into a chore.

LEARN WITH PEOPLE YOU KNOW

Share a code or scan a QR to add a friend. Compare weekly XP, keep a streak together, cheer each other on. No searchable directory, no strangers, no follower counts. Every friend has to be accepted by both sides.

WHO BOLO IS FOR

Parents who want their children to speak with their grandparents. Adults who understood the language growing up but never spoke it. Anyone marrying into a family whose language they do not share. Travellers who want more than a phrasebook. Beginners starting from nothing.
