What is it?
Hindi Varnamala teaches children the Hindi alphabet (वर्णमाला) the way schools do. It covers 13 स्वर (vowels) and 36 व्यंजन (consonants) with a picture word and sound for each, plus बारहखड़ी (barahkhadi) and a quiz.
Who is it for?
Children starting Hindi in school, parents abroad teaching Hindi at home, teachers, and adults learning to read Devanagari.
How to use it
- Tap any letter to see its picture word and hear it (🔊 Hear it).
- For barahkhadi, choose a Letter for बारहखड़ी to see का कि की कु कू and the rest.
- Play the quiz: listen (Hear again), tap the letter, then Play again.
Teaching order
Start with स्वर, then the first rows of व्यंजन (क वर्ग, च वर्ग…), and introduce मात्राएँ through barahkhadi once letters are familiar. Reading simple words like कमल, घर, जल early keeps children motivated.
For parents and teachers
Short sessions work best: 5–10 minutes a day, then something active. Sit with young children, say the answers aloud together, and praise effort, not just right answers. Everything runs on the device with no sign-up, no chat and no data collected about your child.
Errors and how to fix them
- No sound when tapping 🔊: turn up the volume, switch off silent mode (on iPhone, the side switch), and check the browser tab isn’t muted. Sounds use your device’s built-in voices.
- Wrong or no voice for Hindi, Punjabi or another language: install the voice on the device. Android: Settings → search “Text-to-speech” → Speech Services by Google → install voice data. Windows: Settings → Time & language → Speech → Add voices. iPhone: Settings → Accessibility → Spoken Content → Voices.
- Letters look broken or as boxes: an old device lacks Devanagari fonts; update the system or try another browser.
