No Hindi at home? Built for exactly that.

Your child can read Hindi for the exam — but can they speak it?

Most English-medium kids learn to read and write Hindi in school, then freeze the moment they have to say a full sentence. Kiki changes that — ten minutes a day of real talking, no homework, no marks pressure, until speaking Hindi feels easy.

Kiki, the character your child speaks Hindi with

आज नाश्ते में क्या खाया — दोसा या इडली?

Aaj nashte mein kya khaya — dosa ya idli?

“What did you have for breakfast — dosa or idli?”

Your child answers out loud

Reading Hindi and speaking Hindi are two different skills.

School teaches your child to read the chapter and write the test. But speaking — holding a back-and-forth, finding words in the moment, not slipping into English — only comes from talking, every day, somewhere it's safe to fumble. Most kids never get that space. That's the gap. Not your child's ability. Not your effort. Just missing practice.

Studies the chapter ✓ Passes the test ✓ Speaks for two minutes ✗

The fix isn't more grammar. It's more talking.

Kiki is a patient AI companion built for kids. She adapts to your child's level, keeps them speaking, and never makes them feel wrong.

Kiki, the character your child speaks Hindi with

तुम्हें क्रिकेट पसंद है?

Tumhein cricket pasand hai?

“Do you like cricket?” — Kiki

They talk out loud

Real voice conversations, no typing — closer to a phone call with family than an app

Kiki keeps them going

She asks, reacts, and plays along, so your child keeps speaking instead of going quiet

Gentle hints, never "wrong"

A soft nudge when they freeze — supportive guidance, not a red cross

Effort over correctness

Half a Hindi sentence, then English? Kiki rewards the Hindi and gently builds from there

A 7-year-old won't practise because it's good for them.

So we made it a game. Every conversation builds a new place in Kiki's town — shaped by the words your child actually said. That's the reason they come back tomorrow, and the day after. The Hindi is the by-product of the fun.

10 min

A day — short daily practice, not cramming

Child-safe by design

Kiki stays on topic and can't be jailbroken into open-ended chat. A bounded companion, not a chatbot they can wander off into.

You see everything

A weekly report shows exactly what your child said, the words they used, and what Kiki will work on next.

You'll see the change, not just hope for it.

Every child on Hindi Tutor is placed on the Speaking Index — a five-level scale of what a child can actually say. It is computed from their own recorded turns, and re-read every week in the parent report.

  1. 1

    Listener

    Typically can follow Nani on a video call and answer her in English.

    Most children start at level 1 or 2

  2. 2

    Responder

    Typically can tell the canteen aunty or the auto uncle what they want, in Hindi words.

  3. 3

    Speaker

    Typically can tell you what happened at school today in Hindi sentences, if you ask and wait.

  4. 4

    Storyteller

    Typically can tell Nani a story about their week on a call without switching to English.

  5. 5

    Conversationalist

    Typically can hold a five-minute conversation with a Hindi-only relative and argue their point.

Counted, not guessed

Five measures — how much Hindi, sentence length, accuracy, answering on their own, and word range. Each one is a count over the transcript that a teacher could check by hand. No language model rates your child.

Hinglish counts

Half a sentence in Hindi is still Hindi. The Hindi in a mixed sentence is credited, never marked wrong — that is how children this age actually speak.

A level never comes down

A level is earned over a run of conversations, never from one — and once earned, it is never taken away.

Why speaking Hindi is worth ten minutes a day

At home anywhere in India

Friends, travel, films, family up north — confident Hindi opens up the rest of the country instead of leaving your child on the outside.

The fun they already love

The songs, the cartoons, the reels — your child half-understands them already. Speaking lets them fully join in.

Confidence, not just marks

When speaking feels natural, the school subject stops being something to dread — reading and the oral exam get easier too.

Questions parents ask

We're a Telugu / Tamil / Kannada-speaking family — is this for us? +
Yes — most of our families don't speak Hindi at home. Hindi here is a school subject and a window to the rest of India: friends, travel, films. Kiki makes speaking it fun and pressure-free. It's always opt-in, never forced.
My own Hindi isn't strong. Can I still help my child? +
That's exactly why Kiki exists. Your child gets daily speaking practice that you don't have to provide, supervise, or correct. Kiki does the talking; you just hand over the phone.
Will it help with Hindi at school? +
When speaking feels natural, the reading, writing, and oral exam all get easier — and kids stop dreading the subject. We focus on real confidence, not promising a particular grade.
Isn't this just more screen time? +
It's ten minutes of talking out loud — closer to a call with family than a video or a game. And you get a weekly report of exactly what your child said.
How will I know it's working? +
Every week you get a report with what your child actually said, the Hindi words they used, and where they stand on the Speaking Index, a five-level scale we publish openly. You'll see the level, and the one thing Kiki is working on next.
How is this different from Duolingo or YouTube? +
Those are one-way — your child watches or taps. Kiki has a real back-and-forth conversation and responds to what your child actually says, out loud, every time.
What does it cost? +
The first 4 conversations are free — no card needed. After that it's ₹399/month in India (the 3-, 6- and 12-month plans work out cheaper per month; prices for other countries). We email you after the third conversation, before the free ones run out; nothing is charged unless you choose a plan, and you can cancel anytime. Begin with the free conversations and see how your child takes to Kiki first.
What age is this for? +
5-16 years old. Kiki adapts to your child's level — simpler conversations for younger kids, richer ones for older kids.

From the founder

I'm an Indian parent — IIT Delhi, IIM Bangalore. I kept meeting bright English-medium kids who "study" Hindi for years and still go quiet the moment they have to speak it.

"Not because they can't — because no one gives them a low-stakes place to practise out loud, every day."

Textbooks and tuitions teach the chapter. Video calls with grandparents happen weekly at best. But speaking — real, natural conversation — needs daily practice in a space where it's okay to fumble.

So I built Kiki: a patient companion who's always available. Who lets a child talk about cricket and cartoons in Hindi. Who gently guides them when they slip into English. Who makes practice feel like play.

Kiki is the start of something bigger — the first real practice platform for spoken Indian languages, beginning with Hindi.
