Learn coding in Hindi, Telugu, Kannada, Tamil or Marathi

Students can learn coding in Hindi, Telugu, Kannada, Tamil or Marathi, as well as English, with ProGame Digital from Next Skills 360. It is an Android coding app, free for students, with a Scratch-based drag-and-drop editor and an AI Chatbot coding mentor, and it runs offline on budget Android phones. ## Why language matters when children learn to code Coding is logic: breaking a problem into steps, repeating them, and making decisions. A child can grasp that logic quickly, but not when the instructions, hints and feedback arrive in a language the child is still learning. Then the lesson becomes an English lesson, and the child who thinks in Telugu or Marathi falls behind for the wrong reason. Block-based editors help, because students drag and snap commands instead of typing English syntax. The language of the menus, the instructions and the help still decides whether a child can learn on their own. ## What to check in a regional-language coding app - Your language: is the app available in the language your students speak at home? - Block-based editing: can students build programs by dragging blocks rather than typing? - Works offline: does it run without internet once installed? - Runs on the phones families have: does it work on budget Android phones? - Help when stuck: is there a mentor or hint system inside the app? - Cost to families: what does the student pay? - A school route: can a school run it as a programme, and see a demo before it commits? ## The kinds of options State boards and NCERT material. Textbooks and learning material in regional languages give the base for computer education in many states, and any app should work alongside them. Regional-language video channels. Free tutorials explain coding in many Indian languages. They suit a learner with steady internet and the discipline to practise alone. English-language coding apps and courses. Many are well made, but a child must read English to use them. Apps built with Indian languages, such as ProGame Digital, described below. ## Where ProGame Digital fits [ProGame Digital](https://www.nextskills360.in/progame-digital), also called the ProGame Android app, is an Android mobile coding app with a Scratch-based drag-and-drop editor.
