Content in Hinglish to make learning easier

The Lido Learning announced the launch of live tutorials in Hinglish to facilitate easier adoption of concepts and simplify e- learning across India. Students in metro and smaller cities are more comfortable with Hinglish.

The emergence of ed-tech in Tier II and Tier III cities in India is largely due to the availability of educational content in vernacular languages. Despite children going to English medium schools, research shows that many students struggle with English as a language. Students especially struggle when studying and trying to grasp complex concepts in other subjects like Math and Science that are taught in English.

Sahil Sheth, founder-CEO, said: “Students and their well-being is at the center of everything that we do. Subjects like Math and Science can be complex and mind-numbing for many, learning the curriculum in a language they are comfortable can keep them more engaged. The launch of Hinglish content was prompted by our core belief that a student must be in a comfortable space while learning and have accessibility to educational content in diverse languages.”
