Inside a lesson
What every lesson includes
All four levels are ready for all three paths, from first letters at Beginner to idioms and the news at Advanced.
- Ready
Script, sound and meaning together
Every word in its own script, in English letters, and in English, so nothing is a guess.
- Ready
Listen and replay
Hear words read aloud by your device's Hindi or Kannada voice, as often as you like, and slow them down. If a device has no such voice, the buttons stay hidden.
- Ready
Games that teach
Match words and pictures, fill in missing letters, build words and arrange sentences.
- Ready
Quizzes with instant feedback
A short quiz ends each lesson. Wrong answers come with a reason, not just a red cross.
- Ready
Speak and compare
Record yourself and play it back next to the example. Your recording stays on your device and is never marked.
- Partly ready
Stars, streaks and certificates
Stars, points and a day streak for every lesson. Certificates are planned for later.
How lessons are checked
Every Hindi and Kannada lesson is written and then double-checked with AI before it goes online, and is marked “AI-checked”. Lessons have not been reviewed by a language teacher, so each one has a Report a mistake button. Anything reported is looked at and corrected.
Speaking practice lets you compare your voice with an example by ear. The site does not mark or score pronunciation.
Safe for children, with parents in control
- Beginner lessons need no sign-up. Without an account, progress is saved only in the browser on your device and nothing about the learner is sent to us.
- For paid levels a parent or guardian signs in and buys the pass. Lesson results are then saved to the parent's account so Richa can follow progress. Children never need an email address or a name on the site.
- Nothing about a child is ever public: no profiles, no named leaderboards and no messaging between users.
- No advertising, and no visitor tracking on lesson pages.
