Speak Southeast Asia. Bolo! teaches you to SAY things, out loud, in ten Southeast Asian languages: Thai, Vietnamese, Khmer, Lao, Burmese, Tagalog, Cantonese, Mandarin, Malay and Indonesian. Most apps have you tapping words into a box. Bolo! listens. You say the phrase, it hears you, and it tells you how close you got. So the first time you order kopi or ask for the bill, you have already said it out loud a hundred times. THE JOURNEY Follow the old Nanyang sea route, one water for each language. Six zones, ten stops in each, from a lantern-strung jetty at dawn to a festival harbour at night. Every stop is a small set of phrases you will actually use. WHAT YOU LEARN Greetings and manners. Family. Getting around. Food and drink at the kopitiam. Markets, money and bargaining. Festivals and celebrations. Thousands of phrases, chosen for travelling and for talking to family. GAMES BETWEEN THE LESSONS Ticket Check, Wrong Boat, Luggage Match, Signal Lights. Short, fast, and built on the words you just learned. And an uncle at the kopitiam who rings you up for a chat when you are least expecting it. FREE TO START Vietnamese, Indonesian and Mandarin are free from the first zone, with no card and no trial countdown. All-Access opens every language, every stop and every game. Bolo! exists for the languages the big apps will not teach. Thai, Khmer, Lao, Burmese, Tagalog, Cantonese and Malay are spoken by hundreds of millions of people and taught by almost nobody. That is the gap this app was built to close.

Improvements and fixes throughout the app. ### 1.0.6 — 2026-10-01 New: My Sentence. Bring a sentence you need to say, like a Tet greeting or a toast at a wedding, and Bolo writes it in your language and coaches you through it, part by part. Last Call now comes once per zone, as the zone's final challenge. Faster, steadier speaking scores, a clearer All-Access page, and topic pickers that tell you which topics unlock as you travel. ### 1.0.5 — 2026-09-27 Dress Bolo up! The Tailor has 24 new pieces, including a nón lá, a songkok, a Mid-Autumn lantern, a hoodie and jeans, and hats from around the world. She can wear an outfit, a hat and hold something all at once. Bolo also looks and moves better than ever. ### 1.0.4 — 2026-09-23 Bolo is in 3D now. She is a bird you can see all the way round, not a drawing. Her beak moves with her own voice while she talks, she wanders about the screen while you are thinking, and you can tap her to see what she does. She has learned seven dances. Chat has been rebuilt around her. She is bigger, she never sits on top of the card you are waiting on, and she greets you when you open it. You can also set how fast Bolo and the coach speak, which helps when a word goes past too quickly. Fixes: holding the microphone in chat is steadier, and a rare crash when signing in with Google is gone. ### 1.0.3 — 2026-09-21 Fixes a rare crash that could happen if you tapped twice while a screen was opening. The microphone is also more reliable on older devices: if recording does not start the first time, Bolo now tries again by herself. ## Apps similar to Bolo | App | Rating | Price | Category | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [Ahem: Learn Without Studying](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/ahem-learn-without-studying/id6746782988) | 5.0 (2) | Free | Education | | [Thai Ai – Your AI Tutor](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/thai-ai-your-ai-tutor/id6744878093) | 2.0 (1) | Free | Education | | [Gonit - Practice Math Olympiad](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/gonit-practice-math-olympiad/id6746192772) | 4.5 (15) | Free | Education | | [Pashto Dictionary & Translator](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/pashto-dictionary-and-translator/id6446334830) | 4.8 (5) | Free | Education | | [My First Skool Parent App](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/my-first-skool-parent-app/id1554436857) | 5.0 (1) | Free | Education | | [Learn Korean - LuvLingua](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/learn-korean-luvlingua/id968954018) | 4.3 (7) | Free | Education | ## More apps by Aakesh Patel - [Bolo: Learn Hindi, Tamil, Urdu](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/bolo-learn-hindi-tamil-urdu/id6790907772) - [Sticker Safehouse](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/sticker-safehouse/id6808020800) - [Bolo: Polish, Czech, Ukrainian](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/bolo-polish-czech-ukrainian/id6809198565) - [Bolo: Korean, Japanese, Hakka](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/bolo-korean-japanese-hakka/id6809205852) - [Bolo: Swahili, Amharic, Igbo](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/bolo-swahili-amharic-igbo/id6809208363) All apps by Aakesh Patel: https://appshunter.io/developer/6790907774 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
