Gujarati Learner: Learn to read Gujarati script from zero.

Gujarati Learner starts with the 13 vowels and 34 consonants, one small group at a time, and moves through the Barakhadi to words, numbers to 100 and short passages. Lessons work offline, and the app labels its synthesised pronunciation audio as an approximation.
