Kannada Letters and Sounds Through English (BG) course
Build recognition of Kannada letters in canonical order: vowels first, then each consonant varga, then semivowels and sibilants. A distinctive feature of Kannada is its short and long 'e' (ಎ/ಏ) and short and long 'o' (ಒ/ಓ) vowels — unique among Indian language learners coming from Hindi or English. The course also introduces the retroflex lateral ಳ (ḷa), a sound unique to Kannada and other Dravidian languages. Every module starts with visual recognition and writing awareness, then moves into pronunciation with simple Kannada word examples.
