Quick answer: For a young child starting the Hindi alphabet, Kids Pathshala is free with no ads. For varied videos and songs in one subscription, look at Dinolingo. For a motivated older child, Duolingo is free. If your main goal is getting your child to say Hindi out loud, that's what we built Voiczy for. Add free StoryWeaver stories and family video calls, whichever app you choose.
A note before you read: we make Voiczy, one of the apps below, so we aren't neutral. To keep this fair, the apps are listed alphabetically, not by preference. We checked each app's store listing and website in November 2026, with store prices from Germany. This is a comparison of what they offer, not a long-term test of every app with children, and prices and features can change.
Many families searching for a Hindi app live outside India and want their child to talk with relatives. So we looked at:
Dinolingo teaches 50 languages, including Hindi, to children aged 2 to 14 through videos, songs, stories, games and printable worksheets. One family subscription covers all the languages.
Duolingo's main app has a Hindi course from English, with short lessons and practice reading Devanagari. It's free to use, and a paid plan removes ads.
A small app that teaches Hindi letters with sounds, for ages 2 to 7. Its listing says it's free, has no ads and needs no subscription. It was updated in September 2026.
An app for ages 3 to 8 that teaches reading and writing Hindi letters. The full version costs €2.99 once, and there's a free Lite version to try.
This is our app. Children aged 3 to 14 hear a word, see a picture and say it out loud, then practise talking with Leo, an AI tutor. It also includes bilingual audio story books and basic maths in Hindi. At the time of writing, the Hindi path has 271 words with audio, the same as our other languages.
You can see what Hindi looks like on Voiczy.
An app can give your child daily practice, but it can't give them a reason to speak. In most Hindi-speaking families abroad, that reason is relatives. If a child answers in English at home, keep speaking Hindi to them. Understanding usually comes first, and speaking follows when they have someone who needs them to use it.
Our guide to raising bilingual children has more on keeping a home language alive.
Kids Pathshala's listing says it's completely free for young children, and Duolingo is free for older children. Voiczy has free activities, but its full version is paid.
Start with speaking and songs for a child under about 6. Devanagari is written almost exactly as it sounds, so reading comes more easily once the words are already familiar.
We don't think so, and we make one of these apps. An app builds words, confidence and habits. Fluency also needs real conversations with people who speak Hindi.
You can also compare the wider range of language apps for kids.
