By the end
What you'll build
- Handle autos, cabs, buses and the metro in Kannada — destinations, fares, meters and stops
- Buy vegetables and groceries and order food with quantities, prices and polite requests
- Talk to a PG owner or landlord about rent, deposit, bills and repairs
- Run daily errands in Kannada — bargaining, mobile recharge, bank, courier, tailor and laundry
- Describe symptoms at a pharmacy or clinic and use the key emergency phrases with confidence
- Manage office introductions, canteen small talk, invitations and polite goodbyes
- Use the politeness system correctly — nīvu, -i verb forms and 'rī' — so you sound respectful, never rude
