Abstract:This paper presents the development of a digital educational tool using Hindi Wordnet for language learning and teaching. The original lexical data was modified to align with school syllabi and modern pedagogical principles. The tool incorporates grammatical information and delivers content through a multi-layered, multi-sensory interface accessible on various digital platforms. Designed for learners aged six and above, it features a user-friendly front end. Initial testing and feedback helped improve the system. The project also provided valuable insights into associative learning through lexical networks.
