ReadDesi tip

The first bas is rarely believed

Bas means enough. Say it at a family dinner and a second roti often lands on the plate anyway. A hand over the plate with bas, bilkul bas tends to be taken more seriously.

No question. Just good to know.

Two ways

Why this app exists

This is Hinglish, not textbook Hindi

Other apps teach you

घोड़ा सेब खा रहा है।

Ghoda seb kha raha hai. “The horse is eating an apple”

We teach you

Aunty, khana bahut accha hai

“Aunty, the food is amazing”

awn-tee, kha-naa ba-hut ach-chha hai

Every chapter is built from situations rather than grammar drills: arriving, complimenting the food, refusing a fourth helping, a wedding invitation, an auto-rickshaw.

Akhil, who built Hinglish Vinglish
Why this exists

I made this for my wife.
Now it’s yours too.

She wanted to follow what was being said around her. Not exam Hindi. The kind people actually speak, fast, at a dinner table, with nobody slowing down for you.

Every app we tried started with the script. Weeks of learning to read before you can say one useful sentence. So I built the one she actually needed, in the Roman letters you already text in, teaching the Hindi families really use.

I never planned to publish it. Then her friend asked for it. Then a stranger left a review. Thousands of people are learning with it now.

Akhil, founder
