Shabdh

Learn Hindi Naturally Through Stories

Shabdh strives to make language learning easier and natural. A child does not learn its mother tongue by memorizing the vocabulary. The language is learnt by understanding the words and sentences just from the context. We would like to follow a similar methodology to learn new languages using short stories and short real life conversations.
