I MOVED TO BANGALORE. I DIDN’TSPEAK KANNADA!

You moved to Bangalore. You don’t speak Kannada. And suddenly, the person in front of you is speaking at 100 km/h. Don’t worry. You don’t need to become fluent in Kannada overnight. You just need a few sentences that actually work in real life. In the first episode of KANNADA IRL — Kannada in Real Life, Maya arrives in Bangalore and discovers just how useful a handful of simple Kannada phrases can be. From introducing yourself and asking where to go, to ordering something, asking the price, bargaining, shopping and simply saying “No, thank you” — these are Kannada sentences you can actually use when you're out in Bangalore. The Kannada you'll learn in this video: Nimma hesarenu? — What's your name? Nanna hesaru Maya. — My name is Maya. Ellige hogbeku? — Where do you want to go? Indiranagar-ge hogbeku. — I want to go to Indiranagar. Idhu enu? — What is this? Ondu kodi. — Give me one. Eradu kodi. — Give me two. Neeru kodi. — Give me water. Bill kodi. — Give me the bill. Bere enadru beka? — Anything else? Beda, ashte. — No, that's all. Idhu eshtu? — How much is this? Swalpa kadime maadi. — Reduce it a little. Bere colour alli idiya? — Do you have it in another colour? Ide. Beka? — Yes, we have it. Do you want it? Haudu. — Yes. Idhu beka? — Do you want this? Beda. — No / I don't want it. No classroom. No complicated grammar. No memorising endless vocabulary. Just Kannada you can use in real life. If you're living in Bangalore, moving here, working here, travelling here — or simply want to feel a little more comfortable speaking with the people around you — KANNADA IRL is for you.
