asked
What is Bumi?
An app for learning Tamil from short, real Tamil videos, with every word one tap away. It's made for English speakers, including heritage learners.
When does Bumi launch?
Bumi is in development and has no launch date yet. Founding members get early beta access first.
What level do I need to be?
None. Clips run from beginner to advanced, with transliteration and English on every line.
Do I need to read Tamil script?
No. Every Tamil line is also written in English letters, so you can pick up the script gradually.
Will I learn spoken or written Tamil?
Mostly spoken Tamil, the way people really talk. When the textbook form differs, Bumi shows both.
What does "lifetime" mean?
Pay $29 once and keep access for as long as Bumi exists, including updates. No subscription, no renewals.
Can I get a refund?
Yes, in full, any time before launch, no questions asked. Email hello@learnbumi.com and the founder will refund you.
How can I contact you?
