About Us

My name is Akshita Kumar. I am from the Fiji Islands now living in the United States of America. I was 10 years old when I came to the USA. I speak Gujarati, Fiji Hindi & and English. I grew up speaking Gujarati, Hindi & and English. I met my husband in 2012. He speaks Fiji Hindi even though he is US-born because his parents were born in Fiji.

When I met my husband, Neil, he and his brothers didn't speak Hindi fluently. I wanted Neil to learn Gujarati, but there were no suitable tools. I needed Gujarati-English translation books with pronunciation guides, but most materials were in Sanskrit. Neil struggled to learn just by repeating after me. When our son was born, I wanted him to learn Hindi and Gujarati fluently. While reading English books to him, I wished for translations in our native language. Lacking resources, I decided to create flashcards for basic words, helping parents teach their children Gujarati in a fun way. My goal is to educate my family and others about the importance of speaking multiple languages.

I started this journey not to only educate my son and husband about the importance of speaking multiple languages but also having a tool for other parents to pass on their native language.
