Introduction:

Kannada is a Dravidian language spoken predominantly by the people of Karnataka in the southwestern region of India. The language is also spoken by linguistic minorities in the states of Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Telangana, Kerala, and Goa; and also by Kannadigas abroad. The language had roughly 43 million native speakers by 2011. Kannada is also spoken as a second and third language by over 12.9 million non-native speakers in Karnataka, which adds up to 56.9 million speakers. It is one of the scheduled languages of India and the official and administrative language of the state of Karnataka. Kannada was the court language of some of the most powerful empires of South and Central India, such as the Chalukya dynasty, the Rashtrakuta dynasty, the Vijayanagara Empire, and the Hoysala Empire.

• Read in Kannada

Read, and read a lot! If you want to learn advanced Kannada, you need to learn how to read well. Read articles, books, fiction, non-fiction, short stories, novels, or whatever it is that interests you.

While you read, find 5-10 words that you aren’t familiar within the text and highlight these words. Then, find the definitions of these words and add them to your vocabulary notebook.

• Keep a Vocabulary Notebook

Keep a small notebook with you to write down new vocabulary words. Divide it into grammar sections (e.g., nouns, adjectives, and verbs) or topics (e.g., clothes, food, and weather). It’s a great way to learn advanced Kannada words you didn’t know before.

Write down new words you learn, whether in class, when reading, or when having a conversation with a native Kannada speaker. Review the words every day on your commute to work, before a conversation, or before you go to bed.

• Speak as Much as You Can

Communicate in Kannada as much as possible. Speaking helps build fluency and confidence. If you are taking Kannada classes, make friends with your classmates and arrange coffee dates so that you can practice Kannada outside of class. If you know any native Kannada speakers, practice with them too.

• Listen to Native Speakers

While knowing how to hold a conversation in Kannada is key to advancing, being able to listen actively and understand what the speaker is saying is also extremely important. You can’t have a conversation if you don’t know what the person is saying.

The great thing about listening is that you can do it online. Watch television shows, YouTube videos in Kannada, or news reports to practice your listening comprehension skills.

• Write in a Journal

Learn advanced Kannada simply by writing in a journal. If you want to improve your Kannada level, write for 10 minutes every day and analyze your progress after one or two months. Check for errors you’ve made, see where you can improve, or change sentences and include words you’ve recently learned.
