Adam’s Speak Kannada Now
Learn to speak Kannada the way it is practically spoken in and around Bangalore and Karnataka. Listen and repeat after native speakers. Listen hands and screen free while you do other things. Spaced repetition of new words and prompts for you to recall the phrases will facilitate your learning of the language. Short lessons that you can fit in even on a short coffee or tea break. I love learning languages and wanted to learn Kannada for my work visits to Bangalore. This kind of material works best for me when I am just getting started and want to begin speaking quickly, but I couldn’t find anything like it. So, I created it. If you are visiting Bangalore or Karnataka, or if you have moved there from your native state or country, this course is perfect for you to learn some basic spoken Kannada. Many thanks to the native speakers who have helped teach me, shape these lessons, and provided their voices. Most of them are available to provide private lessons through iTalki. I highly recommend their services in addition to this podcast to help you on your language learning journey.
