Bornomala teaches a child to hear, speak, and read Bangla. It was built by BALA School, a nonprofit weekend Bengali school, for the families in it: children growing up far from Bengali, and parents who want to pass it on. It is free, works entirely offline, and collects nothing about your child. No ads, no accounts, no purchases. THREE VILLAGES, NOT A LIST OF FLASHCARDS স্বরপুর, Vowel Village. Eleven vowels, one house each. Your child meets the friend who lives there, hears the sound, traces the shape stroke by stroke, then takes the letter out into real words. ব্যঞ্জনপুর, Consonant Town. Thirty-nine consonants and signs across nine neighborhoods, grouped by where in the mouth the sound is made. A feather shows the puff of air on খ. A stone shows the buzz in the throat on গ. A bell shows the nose on ঙ. It is real phonics, played as a story. সংখ্যাপুর, Counting River. Every number from ০ to ১০০, met at a landing on a river. Bengali counts things, people, and flat things with different words, and this is where a child learns which to use. THE PART MOST APPS SKIP "ক-এর ভিতরেই অ বসে আছে। তাই ক বলে ক, কা নয়।" The inherent vowel is the single idea that unlocks Bengali reading, and almost no primer says it out loud. Bornomala says it in one sentence a five year old can hold, then shows the same seat being taken by আ, ই, উ, এ and ও so it never hardens into a rule. STORIES TO READ TOGETHER Thirty-seven illustrated storybooks, ordered from first words to real narrative. Every page is narrated in a human voice. Tap any word to hear just that word. Your child can record the page and play it back beside the reading. Tultuli the cat is hidden on every page, and finding her is the reason many children turn it. BANGLA AS YOUR FAMILY SPEAKS IT Some families say খালা, some say মাসি. Some say দিদা, some নানি, some নানু. The app asks which words yours uses, then uses yours. Bangladeshi standard throughout, with the variants treated as correct rather than as mistakes. FOR THE GROWN UP IN THE ROOM An honest progress page. Stars are earned by answering, never by tapping through, and a word only reaches "known" after being right on separate days spread over a week. Optional English under the Bengali, and optional pronunciation in Latin letters, both off by default, for parents who do not read the script. A teacher area behind a parental gate and a PIN, for classrooms sharing a tablet. PLAY THAT IS PRACTICE Ludu with Bengali numbers, Bangla Solitaire, and a word building game, all drawing on the words your child has actually met. WHAT IS IN IT 51 letters, each with its sound, its name, and an example word 101 numbers, ০ to ১০০ 746 words, illustrated and spoken 37 storybooks, narrated word by word 4,381 recordings in a human voice Free, offline, and made by a school rather than a startup.
