By the end

What you'll build

  • Speak to colleagues, seniors and customers in the correct formal register — ನೀವು (nīvu) forms, honorific ಅವರು (avaru), and formal imperatives
  • Introduce yourself and your role professionally and manage first-week office conversations
  • Participate in meetings: ask questions, agree, disagree politely and commit to deadlines in Kannada
  • Run a complete customer-service conversation — greet, understand the problem, apologize, reassure and close
  • Make polite requests, refuse gracefully and offer alternatives using dative constructions and softeners
  • Catch and fix the classic learner errors: honorific agreement, nīvu/nīnu mix-ups and dative-subject mistakes
  • Write short professional chat messages and formal emails using the ವಿಷಯ / ಮಾನ್ಯರೇ / ವಂದನೆಗಳು architecture
  • Type core Kannada office vocabulary accurately on a phone-style keypad
  • Deliver a structured two-minute spoken status update in Kannada
