Top 5 Educational Apps for Students

Education apps are software applications designed to be used on smartphones, tablets, or computers, with the aim of facilitating learning and educational experiences for students.

[survivetoread]

By the way, I worked with the LanguageCrush creator add a whole bunch of external dictionaries for South Asian languages, including, of course, Marathi.

I wanted to add IIT Bombay's Marathi Wordnet, but unfortunately, their site doesn't have a search URL I could use.

I also went ahead and did the research to find and add dictionaries for: Hindi, Urdu, Gujarati, Punjabi, Bengali, Tamil, Kannada, Telugu, and Malayalam.

This makes LanguageCrush one of the most robust vocab-reading platforms out there for South Asian languages.

do you know how to find resource for different version of bengali? i've tried a few apps but they must be different version to what i speak because even some basic words like "man" "woman" were different to what i use. thanks x

Which 'version' did they teach you? Bengali has a lot of dialects, even the official Standard Colloquial Bengali is different in West Bengal and Bangladesh. So maybe check if the app focuses on Indian Bengali or Bangladeshi. Or maybe they are teaching you Sylheti Bangla or some other form of Bengali. Easiest way would be to check which flag they using for marketing purposes.

Here are some apps you can try: Simply Learn Bengali: will teach you the Bangladeshi standard

Ling - Learn Bengali Language: again, Bangladeshi SCB

Language Curry: this one has Indian SCB

Bhasha Sangam: I tried this one for learning Odia and Meitei, it has Indian Bengali too you will be understood in both the nations irrespective of which version of Bangla you learn because the different words are merely synonyms, they are acceptable, just not commonly used in one region. Like, pani (bangladeshi) and jol (indian) for water. Both are acceptable and used by writers in both the countries, just that Bangladeshi prefer to say 'pani' and Indians 'jol'.

Mastering Bengali Pronunciation at Home

Bengali, the language of Rabindranath Tagore and mouthwatering roshogollas, can sound as melodic as a sitar solo. But those unfamiliar with its alphabet and sounds might feel like they're tackling a bowl of phuchka – delicious, but potentially explosive! Fear not, intrepid language learner! Mastering Bengali pronunciation at home is entirely achievable with the right techniques. Here's your cheat sheet to navigate the twists and turns of Bengali phonetics:

1. Befriend the Bangla Alphabet

The Bengali alphabet, known as Bangla Lipi, might look like an exotic vine at first glance. However, with some dedication, you'll be able to decipher its unique characters. Start by familiarizing yourself with the basic vowels and consonants, paying close attention to the diacritics that alter pronunciation. Numerous online resources and apps offer interactive tutorials to make this process less daunting.

2. Shadow Like a Sparrow

Bengalis have a beautiful lilt to their speech. To capture this essence, practice shadowing – mimicking native speakers. Find audio resources like Bengali news broadcasts, podcasts, or movie dialogues. Listen intently, then try to replicate the sounds as closely as you can. Record yourself and compare it to the original, adjusting your pronunciation where necessary.

3. YouTube: Your Virtual Language Lab

YouTube is a treasure trove for pronunciation practice. Explore channels dedicated to teaching Bengali pronunciation. Look for videos that break down specific sounds, offer visual aids like mouth movements, and provide slow, clear pronunciations. Don't be shy to repeat after the instructor, as repetition is key to mastering those tricky Bengali sounds.

4. Befriend a Bengali Buddy: Conversation is King

The best way to solidify your pronunciation is through real-life conversation. Look for online language exchange platforms where you can connect with native Bengali speakers. Practice basic greetings, introduce yourself, or discuss your favorite Bengali dish. Not only will you improve your pronunciation, but you'll also gain valuable cultural insights.

5. Sing Along Like a Nightingale

Bengali music is a vibrant tapestry of sounds. Immerse yourself in the world of Rabindra Sangeet or contemporary Bengali pop music. Listen closely to the lyrics, paying attention to how the singers pronounce vowels and consonants. Try singing along, even if it's just humming the tunes. This not only makes learning fun but also helps train your ear for the natural flow of the language.

6. Record Yourself Ruthlessly

Record yourself speaking Bengali regularly. Listen back objectively and identify areas for improvement. Are your vowels rounded enough? Are you pronouncing those tricky consonant clusters correctly? Being your own critic can be a powerful tool for identifying and fine-tuning your pronunciation skills.

7. Celebrate

Learning a new language is a marathon, not a sprint. There will be days when Bengali pronunciation feels like a bowl of jalebis – sweet but sticky. However, celebrate your Fortschritte (German for progress, because every language learner deserves a fancy word)! Every correctly pronounced word, every successfully navigated sentence is a victory. Reward yourself for your dedication, and keep your motivation high.

Remember, mastering Bengali pronunciation is a journey, not a destination. Embrace the challenges, celebrate your victories, and most importantly, have fun along the way! Before you know it, you'll be conversing with Bengali speakers like a seasoned pro, ready to order your next plate of phuchka with confidence

Lies We Sing to the Sea by Sarah Underwood

Each spring, Ithaca condemns twelve maidens to the noose. This is the price vengeful Poseidon demands for the lives of Queen Penelope’s twelve maids, hanged and cast into the depths centuries ago.

But when that fate comes for Leto, death is not what she thought it would be. Instead, she wakes on a mysterious island and meets a girl with green eyes and the power to command the sea. A girl named Melantho, who says one more death can stop a thousand.

The prince of Ithaca must die - or the tides of fate will drown them all.

Lunar Love by Lauren Kung Jessen

Always a matchmaker, never a match...

Olivia Huang Christenson is excited-slash-terrified to be taking over her grandmother’s matchmaking business. But when she learns that a new dating app has made her Pó Po’s traditional Chinese zodiac approach all about “animal attraction,” her emotions skew more toward furious-slash-outraged. Especially when L.A.’s most-eligible bachelor Bennett O’Brien is behind the app that could destroy her family’s legacy...

Liv knows better than to fall for any guy, let alone an infuriatingly handsome one who believes that traditions are meant to be broken. As the two businesses go head to head, Bennett and Liv make a deal: they’ll find a match for each other - and whoever falls in love loses. But Liv is dealing with someone who’s already adept at stealing business ideas... so what’s stopping him from stealing her heart too?

River Sing Me Home by Eleanor Shearer

The master of the Providence plantation in Barbados gathers his slaves and announces the king has decreed an end to slavery. As of the following day, the Emancipation Act of 1834 will come into effect. The cries of joy fall silent when he announces that they are no longer his slaves; they are now his apprentices. No one can leave. They must work for him for another six years. Freedom is just another name for the life they have always lived. So Rachel runs.

Away from Providence, she begins a desperate search to find her children - the five who survived birth and were sold. Are any of them still alive? Rachel has to know. The grueling, dangerous journey takes her from Barbados then, by river, deep into the forest of British Guiana and finally across the sea to Trinidad. She is driven on by the certainty that a mother cannot be truly free without knowing what has become of her children, even if the answer is more than she can bear. These are the stories of Mary Grace, Micah, Thomas Augustus, Cherry Jane and Mercy. But above all this is the story of Rachel and the extraordinary lengths to which a mother will go to find her children...and her freedom.

The Love Match by Priyanka Taslim

Zahra Khan is basically Bangladeshi royalty, but being a princess doesn’t pay the bills in Paterson, New Jersey. While Zahra’s plans for financial security this summer involve working long hours at Chai Ho and saving up for college writing courses, Amma is convinced that all Zahra needs is a “good match,” Jane Austen-style.

Enter Harun Emon, who’s wealthy, devastatingly handsome, and... aloof. As soon as Zahra meets him, she knows it’s a bad match. It’s nothing like the connection she has with Nayim Aktar, the new dishwasher at the tea shop, who just gets Zahra in a way no one has before.

So, when Zahra finds out that Harun is just as uninterested in this match as she is, they decide to slowly sabotage their parents’ plans. And for once in Zahra’s life, she can have her rossomalai and eat it: “dating” Harun and keeping Amma happy while catching real feelings for Nayim.

But life - and boys - can be more complicated than Zahra realizes. With her feelings all mixed up, Zahra discovers that sometimes being a good Bengali kid can be a royal pain.

[the-official-legacies-blog]

Not me realizing that I don't speak or understand Armenian, Arabic, German, Ukrainian, Belarusian, Polish, Serbian, Croatian, Bosnian, Slovenian, Slovakian, Hindi, Urdu, Bengali, Persian, Russian, Bulgarian, Greek, Turkish, Azerbaijani, or Hungarian which is unideal because there are gonna be a lot of pages where those languages are spoken-

I would use Google Translate but we all know how bad it is at translating. And I would use Duolingo but from what my brother told me it's very crappy :'}

Does anyone have a recommendation for a language learning app for Android phones-?

❛ ━━━━━━･❪ ❁ ❫･━━━━━━ ❜

Introduction post 🤍 (feel free to ask me any questions)

❁ Name: Alice

❁ Main blog: @opheliasrue7

❁ Age: 20

❁ Area of study: Applied language and translation studies in French and Japanese

❁ Why I started this blog: To motivate myself to and hold myself accountable for studying my languages every day , and to connect with other language learners and share useful resources!

❁ My background in language learning: I was monolingual until I was seventeen, and was entirely self-taught in all of my languages for three years before I began my current university course. I was also homeschooled for my final years of school, so I learned my languages alongside teaching myself my other school subjects!

❛ ━━━━━━･❪ ❁ ❫･━━━━━━ ❜

❁ Languages I speak and why:

1. English, my native language

2. Bengali/Bangla 🇧🇩/🇮🇳: Bangla is my fiancé’s native language, I’m learning it because I love him very much (and also to communicate with his family, which I hope will become mine too). I started learning 11 months ago, and my progress has been slower than usual due to a lack of resources ): but it is a truly beautiful language and I love studying it. I am unsure of my level but I understand the majority of conversational language, though I lack confidence in speaking.

My goal for Bangla in 2025: Gain more confidence in speaking, improve my pronunciation and expand my vocabulary. I would like to be able to communicate fluently enough by the end of the year!

3.Irish/Gaeilge 🇮🇪: I am Irish, and began to learn some basics in school, but ended up forgetting the majority of it and had to relearn. I’ve been studying Irish seriously for three years, and I believe my language level is around C1. I received a H1 grade (96%) in my leaving certificate Irish exam, and while I did not continue with Irish at third level, I take a lot of pride in my language and I’m trying my best to maintain it!

My goal for Irish in 2025: maintain my current level

4. Japanese 🇯🇵: I started learning Japanese in late 2021 due to my interest in Japanese literature and manga. I studied mainly with a focus on JLPT, but I also sat the Japanese leaving certificate exam (H1, 100%). I’ve been trying to sit the N1 exam for two years (we only have the December exam here in Ireland, and it keeps clashing with my Christmas exams ): ) but I hope that this will be the year! I also study Japanese at university, so I now receive much more opportunities to participate in extra-curricular events relating to Japanese.

My goal for Japanese in 2025: Unfortunately my language level has not improved much at all in the last year or two, so other than passing the N1 my goal is also to change that. Also, I can read far more kanji than I can remember how to write as I focused on study for the JLPT, but I need to be able to write 2,000 kanji for my degree so kanji writing is a huge focus this year!

5. French 🇫🇷: My father is ethnically French but I unfortunately did not grow up speaking it. I learned some basic words and phrases when I was very young, but started studying seriously in 2022. I have a C1 level and also received a H1 (100%) grade in the leaving certificate. I now study French in university.

My goal for French in 2025: I do not really actively study French outside of my assignments anymore, but I would like to read more novels and improve my vocabulary! I have no real plans to study for the C2 exam yet

6. Hindi 🇮🇳: I studied the basics of Hindi (A1 level) last summer, but unfortunately entirely fell out of practice since I started uni in September ): I sadly still don’t have much time to give to it and have mostly forgotten the little I learned, but I do plan to pick it back up this year!

❛ ━━━━━━･❪ ❁ ❫･━━━━━━ ❜

❁ Some other facts about me:

Other than language learning, I love reading (mainly classics, occasionally literary fiction and poetry), writing, and spending time in nature.

I’m very happily engaged :)

I’m a Christian; I was raised Catholic but converted to Orthodoxy

I suffer from chronic pain and commute 3h a day to university, which I struggle with and can make it difficult to keep up all of my languages

Despite studying languages at uni and despite language learning being my main hobby, I am actually really shy when it comes to speaking. I worry constantly about making mistakes, my pronunciation, stuttering etc. I much prefer written and aural exams for this reason.

Other than tumblr, I do not really like social media anymore, but my goodreads and pinterest are linked on my main blog!

I’ve had my main blog for a year but I’m still not great at using this app …

How Online Quran Tutors Help Muslims Stay Connected Abroad

For many Muslims living abroad—especially in countries like the UK—maintaining a deep connection with faith can be challenging. Balancing modern life, limited access to Islamic centres, and cultural differences often make it difficult to consistently engage in spiritual practices. Fortunately, online Quran tutors have emerged as a valuable solution, helping Muslims abroad stay rooted in their faith and culture, wherever they are.

Flexible and Accessible Quran Learning

One of the biggest advantages of learning from an online Quran tutor is accessibility. Whether you live in London, Glasgow, or a small town with no local madrasa, you can connect with qualified teachers from anywhere in the world. All you need is a stable internet connection and a device, and your learning journey can begin—right from the comfort of your home.

Online Quran tutors offer flexible scheduling, making it easy for working professionals, students, and busy parents to fit Quran learning into their routines. Evening or weekend classes can be arranged without disrupting daily life, making spiritual growth more attainable.

Personalised Learning Tailored to Your Journey

Unlike traditional classroom setups, online Quran lessons are often one-on-one, allowing tutors to focus on each student’s unique pace and goals. Whether you’re a beginner learning the Arabic alphabet or someone pursuing Hifz, a good online Quran tutor in the UK will customise the lessons accordingly.

This personalised approach also supports diverse linguistic backgrounds. Tutors can offer instruction in English, Urdu, Bengali, or other commonly spoken languages, making the Quran more relatable and easier to understand.

Strengthening Faith and Identity

Learning the Quran is more than memorising verses—it’s about internalising divine guidance. Online tutors help learners apply Quranic principles to everyday life. Whether it’s handling workplace challenges or raising children with Islamic values in a non-Muslim society, these lessons foster a deeper, more practical connection with Islam.

Regular study of the Quran builds discipline, encourages reflection, and nurtures a peaceful spiritual routine—especially important for Muslims navigating life in a fast-paced, often secular environment.

Culturally Connected and Technologically Smart

For second- and third-generation Muslims in the UK, staying in touch with Islamic culture and language can be difficult. Online Quran tutors help preserve these elements through lessons that also touch on Islamic history, Hadith, and Arabic comprehension. Many platforms use interactive tools like screen sharing, virtual whiteboards, and progress tracking apps to keep students engaged and on track.

Parents also appreciate how this tech-enabled method aligns with the digital lifestyles of their children, ensuring that religious learning stays modern, accessible, and enjoyable.

Building Community from Afar

Besides academic instruction, online Quran platforms often host group classes or forums, where Muslims across the UK can interact, share experiences, and support one another. These communities help reduce isolation, especially for reverts or Muslims new to the country.

Tutors often serve as mentors, offering both spiritual guidance and emotional encouragement, making them key allies in preserving Islamic identity abroad.

Your Personal Moon Guide: How Astroseva Talk Helps You Chat with Astrologer About Kundali Moon Remedies

Ever wonder why some days you feel overly emotional, restless, or just mentally foggy — even when life seems okay on the outside? The answer might lie within your Kundali, specifically in the placement of your Moon. In Vedic astrology, the Moon governs your mind, emotions, intuition, and mental stability. When it's out of balance, everything feels unsettled.

Luckily, there’s a solution — and it begins with a free chat with astrologer on Astroseva Talk. With just a few clicks, you can get a personalized moon diagnosis based on your birth chart, understand your emotional patterns, and explore time-tested Moon remedies, like wearing a Moonstone pendant.

Let’s explore how Astroseva Talk is becoming your personal guide to lunar healing and emotional wellness.

🌕 Why the Moon in Your Kundali Matters So Much

In Vedic astrology, the Moon is considered the fastest-moving and most sensitive planet. It reflects how you feel, respond to life, and handle stress. It rules:

Emotions and mental peace

Motherly love and nurturing

Creativity and intuition

Memory, habits, and instinct

Sleep and subconscious mind

An afflicted or weak Moon in your Kundali (due to Saturn, Rahu, or Mars influence) can lead to:

Emotional breakdowns

Anxiety and overthinking

Hormonal imbalances

Sleeplessness

Mood swings and chronic worry

Understanding your Moon's condition is step one to healing. And that’s where a chat with astrologer on Astroseva Talk becomes a powerful tool.

🧠 What Moon Remedies Can an Astrologer Suggest?

After analyzing your Kundali, an astrologer may offer these Moon-balancing remedies:

🌸 1. Mantras & Meditation

Chanting “Om Chandraya Namaha” 108 times daily strengthens the Moon’s energy.

🌿 2. Fasting or Simple Living

Observing fasts on Mondays or eating a sattvic diet helps cool mental agitation.

💎 3. Wearing a Moonstone Pendant

Moonstone is the Moon’s healing gemstone — perfect for reducing emotional volatility and improving mental clarity.

💧 4. Rituals & Donations

Donating white foods (milk, rice, sugar) or wearing white clothing can help pacify a weak Moon.

Every remedy depends on your personal Kundali, so it's important to consult a verified astrologer instead of relying on generic advice.

Understanding the Power of Natural Language Processing (NLP)

Have you ever wondered how your phone understands your voice when you say “Ok Google” or how Google Translate converts Hindi sentences into English in just a few seconds? Or how do chatbots on shopping websites answer your queries in real-time? The secret behind all these smart actions is a powerful technology called Natural Language Processing, or NLP.

NLP is one of the most exciting and useful branches of Artificial Intelligence (AI). It focuses on helping computers understand, interpret, and respond to human language — just like we do when we talk to each other.

For Indian users who use multiple languages daily, NLP plays a big role in making technology more accessible and user-friendly. Let’s dive deep into how NLP works, why it matters, and how it’s changing our everyday lives in India.

What is Natural Language Processing (NLP)?

Natural Language Processing is a field of computer science and AI that teaches machines to understand human language — whether it’s spoken or written. Just like humans learn grammar, meaning, and tone in a language, NLP helps machines do the same.

The interesting part is that NLP doesn’t just focus on English. It can be used for any language — Hindi, Tamil, Bengali, Marathi, or even Hinglish! This makes it especially important for a multilingual country like India.

NLP combines two major areas: linguistics (the science of language) and computer science (the science of programming and algorithms). When combined, they help computers read, listen, and even respond to humans in a meaningful way.

NLP may sound magical, but behind the scenes, it’s a mix of smart techniques and clever algorithms. Let’s break it down step-by-step in a way that’s easy to understand.

Text or Speech Input: First, the system needs input. This could be anything from a typed sentence, a voice command, or even a WhatsApp message.

Language Processing: The system breaks the sentence into small parts (called tokens). For example, the sentence “I want to buy a new phone” becomes [“I”, “want”, “to”, “buy”, “a”, “new”, “phone”].

Understanding Meaning: Then it tries to understand the meaning of these words and how they relate to each other. It checks grammar, context, and even the tone.

Responding Intelligently: Based on the meaning, it gives a smart response. This could be a reply in a chatbot, a translation, a voice command action, or a search result.

Behind each of these steps, there are many complex tools like Machine Learning (ML), Deep Learning, and Neural Networks. But don’t worry, the beauty of NLP is that users never have to worry about how complicated it is — they just see the result!

Where Do We See NLP in Everyday Life in India?

You might be surprised to know that you’re already using NLP many times a day without even realizing it. Here are some examples that are very relatable for Indian users:

Voice Assistants like Alexa, Siri, and Google Assistant that understand Hindi and regional languages.

Language Translation Apps like Google Translate, help you understand foreign languages or even help tourists in India communicate with locals.

Customer Support Chatbots on websites like IRCTC, Paytm, Swiggy, and Flipkart handle thousands of queries daily in multiple languages.

Speech-to-Text Typing tools that convert your voice into text when sending WhatsApp messages or writing notes.

Social Media Platforms that detect hate speech or filter out abusive content automatically.

With the rise of digital India, mobile penetration, and the use of local languages online, NLP has become more relevant than ever.

Challenges of NLP in the Indian Context

While NLP has come a long way, it’s still not perfect — especially in India, where things get tricky due to the diversity of languages and dialects.

Multiple Languages and Scripts: India has 22 official languages and hundreds of dialects. Plus, many people write in Hindi using the English script (Hinglish), like “Aap kya kar rahe ho?”. This makes it hard for computers to understand.

Code-Switching: Indian people often mix two or more languages in one sentence. For example, “Mujhe ek coffee chahiye, please.” NLP tools need to be smart enough to understand this mix.

Accents and Pronunciations: Speech-based NLP struggles with Indian accents and pronunciations. Words like “data” may be pronounced differently in Delhi and Chennai!

Lack of Quality Datasets: To train an NLP system, a lot of language data is needed. For many Indian languages, this data is still limited or not well organized.

Despite these challenges, many Indian startups and global tech companies are working to improve NLP models for Indian users. With the support of AI researchers and local developers, the progress is promising.

The Future of NLP in India

The good news is that NLP is improving rapidly, and its impact in India is only going to grow. Here’s what we can expect in the coming years:

Better Language Support: More apps will support Indian regional languages for voice commands, customer service, and news reading.

Smart Education Tools: Students will be able to learn in their mother tongue through AI tutors powered by NLP.

Healthcare and Legal Support: Patients in rural areas could describe their symptoms in local languages, and doctors would receive translations in real-time.

Digital Government Services: Public services can reach more people through AI-powered helplines in local languages.

In fact, the Government of India is already working on projects like Bhashini, which aims to make the internet accessible in all Indian languages using AI and NLP. This is a major step toward true digital inclusion.

Final Thoughts: Why NLP Matters to You

In today’s world, where we are constantly connected to our phones, apps, and the internet, NLP is like a silent friend that helps us communicate better. Whether you’re booking a cab in Mumbai, ordering biryani online in Hyderabad, or studying from home in a small town in Bihar, NLP is quietly making your experience smoother and more efficient.

As technology continues to grow in India, understanding the basics of NLP can help you appreciate how AI is changing our lives — not just in English, but in every language that we speak. It’s not just a tool for tech experts; it’s a bridge between humans and machines, and it speaks our language.

So the next time you say “Play Arijit Singh songs” to your smart speaker, remember — it’s NLP doing the magic behind the scenes.
