listen & read

Our YouTube read-alouds are designed especially for children learning Hindi as a second language. As I read stories in Hindi, I gently translate and explain in English along the way, helping children build understanding, confidence, and vocabulary naturally through storytelling.

I believe children connect more deeply with language when stories are told beautifully and meaningfully. Many of the stories featured on the channel include folktales and traditional stories from across India, helping children experience both language and culture together.

The videos are intentionally simple and engaging — I read directly from the book so children can follow along visually while listening to spoken Hindi in a calm, immersive way.
