These 126 drills are generated from the Telugu A2 vocabulary list — the words of “Personal and Professional Communication” through “Home, Society, and Culture”, in both directions: recognition (word → meaning) and production (meaning → word). They re-ask what the course data already contains; no answer here was written by a machine, and a generated drill is practice, never a lesson.

Telugu A2 beyond the drills — culture, reading, listening, idioms

These sections are written for Telugu A2 specifically. The reading text is EkGuru's own; the culture note cites where its facts come from; the idioms and the mistakes list are the ones this level actually trips over.

Culture note

Ugadi marks a new year for many Telugu-speaking families. The Government of India's festival description notes the custom of preparing Ugadi pachadi, a mixture associated with six tastes: sweet, salty, sour, bitter, tangy and spicy. Households may vary the ingredients and proportions; the useful language lesson is to name a taste, describe a recipe and ask what someone prefers without assuming every family celebrates in exactly the same way.

Source (named, not linked): utsav.gov.in.

Reading — read this aloud, slowly

What it says: The work began at our home on the day before Ugadi. Mother soaked the tamarind; I cut the raw mango into small pieces. Father brought jaggery, salt and chilli. Grandmother mixed each ingredient and tasted it. Nobody liked exactly the same taste, so in the end we each added a little. We shared the pachadi before the meal.

Listening — one voice, one text

Use the speaker button to hear this text with a browser voice tagged te-IN; playback starts only after a click. If no matching voice is installed, read it aloud yourself — the rhythm is the point.

What it says: Rekha: What else should we add to the pachadi? Kiran: Add a little jaggery; I like it sweeter. Rekha: I like sourness. Is the tamarind enough? Kiran: Yes, add a little first and taste it.

10 idioms and fixed phrases

The 3 mistakes this level makes

• నేను పచ్చడి కావాలి. → నాకు పచ్చడి కావాలి. కావాలి normally frames the person who wants something with the dative నాకు.
• అమ్మ మామిడికాయ కోశారు. → అమ్మ మామిడికాయను కోశారు. The definite object is marked with -ను here: మామిడికాయను.
• మీరు కలుపు. → మీరు కలపండి. A respectful request to మీరు uses the plural imperative కలపండి.

Your task

ఉగాది వంటకు చిన్న ప్రణాళిక Write a short recipe plan for a family meal: name four ingredients, say who will prepare each one, give two quantity instructions, and ask one person about a preferred taste. Use ముందు, తరువాత and చివరికి to make the order clear. Add one sentence that acknowledges that tastes differ.

After A2: the A2+ checkpoint

A2+ is not a certificate — it is the half-step between Telugu A2 and the next level, and it is on this site’s ladder because language schools use it. You are at A2+ when you can keep a conversation going, tell a short story. Get there by working the recall drills above and the review deck until nothing on this page surprises you, then open the B1 pages.
