The first question you might have in your mind is "why should I choose this course to learn Telugu ?". The answer to this is as below.

1. Most of the people wants to learn Telugu in order to:

a) Communicate with their loved ones who are native Telugu speakers.

b) They belong to the Telugu diaspora and wants to connect with their roots.

c) They are planning to travel to Andhra pradesh or Telangana for a vacation.

d) They love Telugu language for the beauty of it and the ancient history that it holds.

This course has been designed specially for all these people. You will learn about the culture, usage of certain words and most importantly, you will be able to use what you learnt while you are learning. You don't have to wait until you finish the whole course to start speaking in Telugu. In fact, I would highly recommend that if possible, to practice with a Telugu native speaker while you do this course.

(Note: This course contains only spoken Telugu. So, if you are looking to learn old Telugu to read Telugu literature or poems then this course is not for you.)

2. I have 12 years of experience in teaching Telugu to people all around the world. I have trained more than 500 students to become fluent in Telugu. This course has been created through all the experiences that I have gained over the years.

3. There is no prerequisite for this course. Telugu Transliteration is provided instead of the actual Telugu script. So, those who can and cannot read in Telugu, they both can follow my course.

4. This course contains:

a) Useful Telugu sentences categorized based on the situations and circumstances that they are needed for.

b) Role play scenarios to improve your Telugu listening skills and practice along with.

c) Telugu vocabularies being taught through pictures like vegetables, fruits, wild animals, pet animals, relationship names etc.

5. This course does not contain any grammar details or explanation. This course is created for those who doesn't want to learn any grammar and they want to learn Telugu through absorption method just like a baby does by listening, visualizing and repeating the pronunciation and practicing them little by little. This course is also for those, who already knows Telugu grammar and they want to improve their conversational skills in Telugu.

6. I have created multiple "my little word land" course which will help you in memorizing the sentences and vocabularies that is being taught in this course.
