Examples from the Santali starter lessons in Bolo! Open the app to hear them and practice out loud.

A little practice. Your own voice.

Listen first

Hear a Santali phrase in the app. Follow the written example and its meaning, then listen again.

Try it out loud

Hold the speaking button while you say the phrase. Release it when you finish and review your attempt.

Come back to it

Repeat one useful Santali phrase before adding another. A small routine is easier to keep.

Make it part of your day

Your first week with Santali

  1. Days 1 and 2: make the first phrase familiar. Start with “hello”. Hear it, try it, and revisit it tomorrow.
  2. Days 3 and 4: add another exchange. Practice “hello; respect greeting”. Try recalling it before looking at the written example.
  3. Days 5 through 7: put your voice first. Revisit your Santali starter phrases. Choose the one you would most like to use in a real conversation.

This is a suggested practice routine. Move at the pace that works for you.
