First steps of learning Telugu
Welcome to our first Telugu tutorial guiding you step by step through learning the language in a simple and easy way. In this tutorial you will:
- learn your first 100 words of Telugu,
- get a feeling of how the method works and
- get a first impression of the Telugu alphabet
It is designed for absolute beginners, so no prior knowledge is required.
Preparation
Please get yourself a simple MP3 player, 1GB memory or more is fine. It should provide some facility to play a set of songs in a loop, like iPod's playlists for example. You will need that to listen to certain sets of recordings provided in the tutorial.
You should also have access to the Internet and print PDF files. All written documents for learning Telugu are provided in PDF format.
Time required
This tutorial runs for 9 weeks. Please reserve about 45 minutes each day for learning. Many people asked if they can also participate if they have less time for learning. The answer is: yes, the 45 minutes are a guideline. If you have less time you still will get all the things you need to know over time. However, I recommend to stick with these 45 minutes every day.
Books and audio material required
All the documents, audio recordings and exercises required to follow this tutorial are provided online on this website for free. I will point out other books and recordings as we go along, but these are optional.
