İlk günden Hintçe konuş.

Yes. Luma starts at complete beginner (A1): she greets you in Hindi, keeps most of the conversation in your own language at first and moves more of it into Hindi as you go. Coach suggestions stay on for beginners, so you always know what you could say next, and the first lessons cover greetings, numbers and everyday phrases.

No. You can start speaking on day one and turn on a romanization alongside the Hindi, in the conversation and on your vocabulary cards, so a word you can already say is never blocked by a letter you can't read yet. Devanagari is friendlier than it looks — it's spelled the way it sounds — and most people pick it up while they're already talking.

As you talk, in the transcript. A slip like "मैं बोलता हूँ" from a woman is highlighted with the fix beside it, "मैं बोलती हूँ", and a Why? that explains it in a line. The conversation keeps going. Your slips then come back as quick drills, so the fix sticks.

That's the part that decides whether you sound warm or rude, and it's why practice beats a phrasebook. Luma uses आप with a shopkeeper, an elder or someone new, तुम with a friend or a younger cousin, and she tells you when what you said would land as too familiar. She'll also match how people really talk, English words and all — nobody in Delhi says दूरभाष for phone.

Yes. Every day includes a free conversation with Luma, plus basic vocabulary practice. Luma Max unlocks unlimited conversations, all scenarios and full personalization, with monthly and yearly plans and a 7-day free trial on the yearly plan.

Yes. Tell Luma what you need, in your own words, and she builds the conversation around it: bargaining at a market, an auto ride, ordering food, meeting your partner's parents, a wedding where everyone asks you questions at once. There are hundreds of roleplays and lessons to pick from too, at every level.
