Names transliterate by ear: break yours into sounds, match each to Telugu letters — శ్రీను (Srinu), లక్ష్మి (Lakshmi), వెంకట్ (Venkat) show the pattern. Say it slow, write it true — స్పెల్లింగ్ (spelling) by sound, not by English letters.
Foreign sounds borrow loan letters: జ for John (జాన్), హ for hotels and Rahuls, శ for Sharma sounds. These Sanskrit-born letters are Telugu citizens now — use them proudly for every imported sound.
Introductions pair speech and script: పరిచయం (introduction) — నా పేరు... (my name is...), spoken, then written. పేరు బోర్డులు (name boards) on doors and desks teach daily — read every board, collect every name.
Nicknames warm everything: ముద్దుపేరు (nickname) — బంగారం (gold/darling), కన్నా (dear), చిన్నోడు (little one). Telugu shortens with love: Srinivas becomes శ్రీను, Lakshmi becomes లచ్చి. Earn a Telugu nickname and you have arrived.

Questions learners ask
Sound it out in Telugu letters: Rahul → రాహుల్, Priya → ప్రియా, John → జాన్. Telugu spells by ear — say your name slowly, catch each sound, write each letter.
