Yes. Open the alphabet in Bhasaly and tap any letter to play a recorded clip of its sound. No account is needed.
What is the best way to learn the Devanagari script?
One letter at a time, with sound, then straight into real words. Bhasaly's Nepali course starts with the script and builds from there.
