अक्षरLetters

Trace a letter, then write it from memory.

Follow the dotted shape with a finger, stylus or mouse. The pad checks how much of the letter you have inked. Hide the guide when you are ready to write it on your own.

Vowel (स्वर)

Short a, as in about.

Example word: अनारanaar, pomegranate

Trace over the dotted letter.

लिपिScript lessons

Every letter hangs from one line.

Devanagari is written from left to right, and most letters hang from a top line called the shirorekha. The script lessons take it one shape at a time.
