Compare · Eloqa vs Babbel
Babbel doesn't teach Hindi. Eloqa does.
Babbel doesn't offer Hindi, and neither do Busuu, Speak, Lingoda or Lingopie. If you like structured lessons with the grammar explained, Eloqa is built that way, for Hindi.
Why Hindi learners look beyond Babbel.
-
Hindi is missing from a lot of apps
We counted 11 popular apps with no Hindi course at all. Hindi has hundreds of millions of speakers, and it deserves a proper course.
-
A new script needs real teaching
Most courses start with sentences. Hindi starts with Devanagari, so Eloqa does too.
-
Structure matters
If you liked Babbel because it explained things, you want the same for Hindi: rules first, then practice.
What you get with Eloqa.
-
Pronunciation
See where your tongue goes.
Hindi has sounds English doesn't. Every letter has audio, and diagrams show how to make each sound.
-
Grammar
The rules, explained up front.
Each unit opens with how it works, in plain English. The verb explorer shows every tense, and what changes.
-
Sentences
Build sentences, don't memorize them.
Put the Hindi together yourself, then see why it works. Get it wrong and the rule comes first, then another go.
-
Flashcards
Review just before you forget.
Anki-style spaced repetition, built in. Every letter you learn joins your deck, and you rate how well you knew it.
