Professional Telugu for the Workplace (L5)

By the end

What you'll build

• Greet, introduce yourself, and use the -గారు honorific and formal (మీరు-level) register correctly in a Telugu workplace.
• Make and answer polite requests, offers, and refusals using -గలరా / -అండి politeness patterns.
• Report task status, deadlines, and progress accurately in spoken Telugu.
• Take part in meetings — give an opinion, agree, disagree, clarify, and deliver a short spoken update.
• Handle customer- and client-facing conversations, including complaints and apologies, in a professional tone.
• State numbers, prices, dates, and times confidently at work.
• Write short professional messages (chat/SMS) and short formal emails in Telugu.
• Type Telugu on your phone using phonetic transliteration.
