Step inside the Gurukul
Every building is a learning world — the classroom where letters become words, and the village that grows as your family learns.
Alphabet to conversation
A clear path from the Devanagari script through words, grammar, and sentence structure to real, everyday conversation — for absolute beginners and rusty heritage speakers alike.
A companion who adapts
GURU remembers what you've mastered and shapes what comes next — the words you know step aside, the ones fading come back for review. Never bored, never lost.
Built for kids, too
Toddlers start with tap-and-listen — sounds and pictures, no reading needed. Older kids trace letters, build first words, and meet Gauri, a baby cow who grows as they learn.
Stories & culture, not just words
A new Nepali folk tale each night, plus festivals, proverbs, and values woven through the lessons — because language lives inside a culture.
Games that make it stick
Bagh-Chal, word puzzles, and mini-games turn practice into play, with hearts, coins, and a daily streak worth keeping.
One home for the whole family
Age-tuned tracks and up to five profiles on a family plan — the same warm world at the right level for each learner, with a simple parent dashboard and weekly reports.
Learn Nepali for the reasons that matter.
Talk with hajurama and hajurbua without a translator.
Feel at home on your next trip to Nepal.
Understand why Dashain and Tihar matter.
Follow the words in a song or a prayer.
Read Devanagari with confidence.
Feel that Nepal is part of who you are.
Questions parents ask
+Is Nepali Gurukul free?
Yes. The core experience — the full lesson path, a nightly story, games, and GURU chat — is free forever, with no credit card. Premium unlocks unlimited daily learning, the full story library, heritage languages, and more profiles when you want more.
+Can both kids and adults learn Nepali here?
Yes — that's the whole idea. There's a focused adult diaspora track (alphabet to conversation at your own pace) and age-tuned tracks for toddlers, kids, and teens, all under one account. A family plan supports up to five profiles, each with its own progress and streak.
+At what age can my child start?
Toddlers can start with a tap-and-listen classroom — sounds and pictures, no reading needed. Older kids move into letters, first words, and simple conversation, with Gauri the baby cow cheering them on and a parent dashboard so you can follow along.
+I'm a complete beginner. Where do I start?
At the very beginning — the Devanagari alphabet, with letters you tap to hear and trace. You don't need to know the script first; learning to read Devanagari is part of the journey. GURU adapts to your pace, so it's never too fast or too slow.
+Do I need to speak Nepali to help my child?
No. GURU guides every step and explains mistakes kindly, so children can learn on their own — and parents can follow from a simple dashboard even if their own Nepali is rusty.
+How is this different from Duolingo?
Duolingo doesn't offer Nepali at all. Nepali Gurukul is built specifically for Nepali — combining language with culture, folk stories, festivals, live-style games, and even heritage languages like Sanskrit, Nepal Bhasa (Newari), and Maithili.
