Bolo: Bengali, Hausa & 80 More

Your family's language, spoken out loud.

No login required. Free to start, and you're learning in minutes.

Bolo teaches 84 languages from English, from Spanish, French and Mandarin to the ones most apps skip: Bengali, Hausa, Cantonese, Burmese, Quechua, Tigrinya, Konkani and many more. Pick a language, say your first words, and hear how you did.

SPEAK, DON'T TAP
Say each phrase out loud and Bolo scores you: Perfect, Great, Good, Almost or Try again. Then it tells you what to fix.

A JOURNEY THROUGH YOUR LANGUAGE'S WORLD
Ride the rails across India and Europe, take the boat through Southeast and East Asia, or hit the road through Africa, Latin America and the Middle East. Every stop is a handful of everyday phrases.

AN ELDER WHO CALLS
A family elder phones you from time to time to chat in the language you are learning.

BOLO CHAT
Talk with Bolo, your parrot coach, and learn how to say what you actually want to say.

REVIEW AND GAMES
Spaced review brings each phrase back right before you would forget it, and quick games keep practice light: listening, matching, building sentences and more. For South Asian scripts, trace each letter stroke by stroke.

FREE TO START
Every new learner gets 3 days of All-Access, free, with no card. After that, practice 10 phrases a day for free in your main language, and earn coins to open new stops. All-Access unlocks every language, unlimited practice, Bolo Chat and detailed feedback on every phrase.
