Questions about this course

Must I learn the Telugu script before speaking?

No. Start with spoken Telugu in Roman letters, and let the script come second. Learners who speak first stay motivated far longer than learners who drill letters for a month before saying a word.

Which words should I learn in week one?

నమస్కారం for respect, అవును and కాదు, ధన్యవాదాలు, దయచేసి, సరే, and నేను — I. With those seven you can open any interaction in Telugu states politely while your vocabulary grows underneath.

What is the hardest part of Telugu?

The retroflex family new to most ears — ళ, ణ, the trilled ఱ, long-short vowel pairs. Ten minutes of daily listening retunes your ears within weeks; the pronunciation page walks you through each one.
