Grew up hearing Hindi at home but never learned to read or write it? Matra is a Hindi literacy app built for heritage speakers—people who already speak or understand Hindi from childhood but never learned the Devanagari script. Learn Hindi the way your family speaks it: practically, culturally, and confidently.
Unlike general language apps built for total beginners, Matra assumes you already have listening and speaking exposure. It skips basic vocabulary drilling and goes straight to reading, writing, and cultural fluency, so you're never bored and never made to feel behind. Matra was built without shame or judgment: no assumption you're starting from zero, no condescension about what you "should" already know.
Practical Hindi Skills: Learn to read and write Hindi characters, matras, and sight words with interactive lessons tailored for heritage speakers who already have a spoken foundation.
Cultural Immersion: Immerse yourself in Indian culture through Bollywood media, memes, and more, connecting language learning with cultural experiences.
Matra's dynamic features are designed to make language learning engaging, relevant, and fun, while empowering you to embrace your heritage. We believe language is a bridge to culture, identity, and community. Whether you grew up speaking Hindi at home, understand it but can't read it, or want to reconnect with your family's language and roots, Matra combines tradition with technology to create an engaging, practical learning journey.
As someone who grew up in India and now lives in America, I’ve always wondered how to help my kids learn Hindi in a fun and meaningful way — and I think I finally found the answer. Matra is simple, intuitive, and truly kid-friendly. (I absolutely love the little tiger icons!) The writing pad and practice exercises are especially thoughtful — they really help kids remember and recognize the characters. Thank you for bringing such a beautiful learning experience to the App Store.
Very useful app
Ekta Y
This is a very well-designed app that makes learning Hindi easy for anyone. I love its smooth and intuitive user experience. The app features multiple levels that you can unlock as you master each stage, which makes the learning process feel rewarding. I especially like the option to listen to the phonics of Hindi letters and words, as well as the tracing feature that helps you learn how to write each letter accurately.
Good - but one problem

I really like this app, and it’s great to learn with. But none of the audios/song are working for me. I click the audio button, and it changes to a loading icon, but then it switches back and no sound comes out. Idk if it’s a glitch or something, so if you could pls update it would be great! Other than that I rlly enjoy this app
Developer Response
Hi, thank you so much for the kind words and for flagging this! The audio issue is on our end: the latest version relies on your phone's ringer being on. A quick fix that works right now: flip your iPhone’s physical ring/silent switch to ring (or toggle silent mode off in Control Center).We're also fixing this properly in the next update so the audio just works without any setup on your part. Really appreciate you taking the time to write in, and I'm so glad you're enjoying Matra otherwise. 🙏
Every quiz counts now! Your progress tracks quiz sets across all of Matra — Script, Words, Sentences, and Reading — and you can race friends on the new Sets leaderboard. Plus a refreshed lessons trail, a cleaner Profile tab, and a snappier start-up.
