Learn an Indian language like you'll actually use it

Hindi, Kannada, Marathi, Gujarati, Bengali and Telugu. BhashaSetu teaches the words, the script, and the register — the part every other app skips.

"You moved to Bengaluru. Everyone's been very polite about your Kannada."

Meet every word first

A new word arrives on its own card, with its sound, its script and a picture, before you're ever asked about it.

Who you're talking to

Register, not just vocabulary: the difference between how you'd greet a friend, a shopkeeper and an elder.

Mistakes come back

Words you miss return in your next lesson, and review asks for whatever you find hardest. Stuck? "I don't know" shows you.

A journey by train

Your course is a route across India. Units are cities, lessons are landmarks, and the BhashaSetu Express runs you between them.

Five minutes a lesson

Eight to ten questions. Short enough for a commute, real enough to build the habit.

Chai, not guilt

Your streak is a kulhad that stays hot while you learn each day. Hearts, XP and weekly leagues, and no hearts to lose in your first unit.

आप

दिल्ली

Delhi

A postcard turns up after a lesson and turns over to explain itself — this one, why Hindi has three words for "you".

Six languages, six routes

Sixteen units in each, from your first greeting to the doctor, the landlord, the office and paying by UPI. Each course is written for its own language, not translated from one template.
