It started at a family dinner in Singapore. My nephew was struggling to keep his Hindi alive in a world where Chinese surrounded him at school.

"Why should geography limit a child's ability to practice their heritage language?"

Traditional apps teach vocabulary. Video calls with grandparents happen weekly at best. But conversation — real, natural conversation — needs daily practice.

So I built what he needed: a patient companion who's always available. Who lets him talk about dinosaurs and cartoons in Hindi. Who gently guides him when he slips into English. Who makes practice feel like play.

This is for every child growing up between two worlds,
trying to hold onto the language of home.

Questions parents ask

What age is this for? +

6-14 years old. Kiki adapts to your child's level — simpler conversations for younger kids, more challenging for older ones.

My child barely knows any Hindi. Is that okay? +

Perfect, actually. Kiki starts simple and builds up. She gives hints when they're stuck and never makes them feel wrong. Even one-word answers unlock a new place in the town.

Will this help with my child's Hindi class at school? +

Yes! The conversations cover family, food, festivals, animals, and everyday life — topics that align with school curriculum. Kids who practice speaking do better in class, and the town gives them a reason to come back every day.

How is this different from Duolingo? +

Duolingo teaches vocabulary through translation drills. Here, your child speaks out loud and has real back-and-forth conversations with Kiki — and every conversation builds something visible in Nani's town. It's a story they live in, not a quiz they grind through.

Is this just for Hindu families? +

No — Hindi is spoken by families of all backgrounds. While we have content on festivals like Diwali and Holi, the core is about language, conversation, and staying connected to family.

Do I need to sit with my child? +

For 5-6 year olds, yes — they might need help getting started. 7+ year olds can often use it independently. The town-building gives them motivation to keep going on their own.

How long does each session take? +

About 5 minutes per conversation. Your child can do 2-3 conversations a day, each one unlocking a new place in the town. Designed for short daily practice, not long cramming sessions.
