Parent Reviews and Press
“Wonderful app ★★★★★
I am studying Hindi as an adult and are using this app to make learning the script more fun. The animations really help to memorize the individual letters plus the often unusual sounds. It is easy to pick out an individual letter and repeat it as often as needed. As all words are given in context in a sentence I automatically pick up some grammar. I very much enjoy using this app. It is well done. Not just for kids.”
“Awesome app - my kids and I both love it! ★★★★★
This is an amazingly good app. My 6 year old and 2 year old are both hooked! Great animations, very cute characters, lots of interactivity (puzzles, writing practice) and (my personal favorite) exposure to Indian culture through Indianized characters and little factoids thrown in. Very nicely done with a lot of attention to detail. Strongly recommended!”
“Bravo!! I LOVE the Hindi alphabet app.
There’s not much choice and I feel the market is crying out for a quality selection of fun, age-appropriate work. Thanks (FINALLY!) that someone is catering to Asian languages in a world dominated by Latin/European bilingual resources!!”

Hindi Language Specialist
My research experience, Doctor of Philosophy in the area of Hindi Literature, Single Subject Credentials-Hindi (California State University East Bay, California 2015) as well as my experience of teaching all age group students, professional experience translating between English and Hindi have provided me with the background necessary to successfully teach elementary, intermediate, and advanced Hindi level courses. I am also part of the team that pioneered Hindi as an accepted language in California schools, and therefore enjoy working in effective, cross-functional teams. Given my background in teaching students of various age groups, experience in translation, and keen understanding of classroom management, I believe that I am in a solid position to contribute to students’ education in Hindi language. I am incredibly excited to be a part of the growth of the Hindi Language with Shoonya.
Start Teaching Your Child Hindi Today
Have you been looking for an effective, fun, and interactive way for your child to learn Hindi? Maybe you want them to learn to say things like “good morning” in Hindi, or “hello” in Hindi, or to say “you’re welcome” in Hindi. Or maybe, your parents speak Hindi and you want them to connect with their grandchildren in their native tongue to maintain an authentic relationship. If so, you’ve come to the right place!
The Best Age For Child to Learn a Second Language
Hindi learning for kids is important to start when a child is young, as learning language and communication skills are a primary part of a child’s development. According to Mayo Clinic, a toddler can start recognizing names of familiar objects and people as young as 18 months old. What does that tell you about language learning? You can start teaching them Hindi at a very young age. At Shoonya we believe the best time to teach your child Hindi is now.
We also understand as a parent, it’s an honorable thing to preserve your Indian heritage by keeping the Hindi language practiced in your family.
Teaching Children the Hindi Alphabet (Devanagri Script)
Hindi (हिंदी), is the official language of India and is written in the Devanagari script which is also used for many other languages like Sanskrit, Nepali and Marathi. It has thirty-three consonants and eleven vowels and is written from left to right. The vowels come first followed by consonants based on their phonetic sound articulation in the mouth.
Learn Hindi for Kids With Shoonya
Our mission with the interactive Shoonya Hindi app, “Shoonya Kids” is to make learning Hindi fun for children. Each Hindi letter and its association is uniquely designed and created into a cartoon character. Every character is dressed from either a state of India or represents a cultural trivia about India. Through fun animations, interactive tracing tutorials and puzzles, children get a chance to learn the language and the Indian culture.
