Common questions

How long does it take to learn Kannada online?

Most students reach conversational fluency in 4 to 6 months with 3 to 4 lessons per week. Heritage learners who already understand Kannada passively often develop confident speaking ability significantly faster.

Are the Kannada tutors native speakers?

Yes. Every Kannada tutor at Hindustani Tongue is a trained, experienced native Kannada speaker from Karnataka. You get authentic pronunciation, cultural context, and a personalised experience in every session.

I live in the USA / Australia. What time zones do you cover?

We serve Kannada learners across all time zones globally. Our tutors are available for morning, afternoon and evening sessions including weekends. The calendar automatically adjusts to your timezone.

Does the course teach the Kannada script?

Yes. The Kannada script is introduced progressively alongside spoken lessons. Most students begin with conversational Kannada and add the script as their confidence grows.

Can my children learn Kannada with Hindustani Tongue?

Absolutely. We have tutors experienced in teaching children from age 6 upwards using games, stories and interactive activities that make Kannada genuinely enjoyable for young learners.

Is Kannada similar to Telugu?

Kannada and Telugu share the same script family and some vocabulary, but they are distinct languages with different grammar and pronunciation. Knowledge of one does not automatically transfer to the other.
