Introduction:

Age is just a number. Learning doesn’t depend on age. Age doesn’t matter for the ones who are passionate to learn, they will find a way or the other. 30 years isn’t that old to not know how to operate a mobile phone or laptop. Learning a language that is not your mother tongue may be difficult but it depends on the particular person’s effort and time to learn the language. It takes a person’s interest, time, and effort to learn a language with which we are not familiar. There’s a saying that “Nothing is impossible unless you think it is.” If a person is forced to learn the language without the person’s interest, then they will always find an excuse to not learn the language and will automatically forget what he/she has learned within a few months and a person who is very attentive and wants to really learn the language will manage to learn the language without a teacher. Kannada is one of the oldest Indian languages, it is as old as 2000 years. It is also 99.9% perfect logically and scientifically. It has its own written script. The language is also spoken by linguistic minorities in the states of Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Telangana, Kerala, and Goa; and also, by Kannadigas abroad.

So, the first tip I would suggest is – we have to believe in ourselves and work hard in order to build our own future. One can learn as much as they can if they have the ability to perceive all the things. How we should do it in the simplest way is what we have to find. For learning the Kannada language, in today’s lives, technologies are a big help to any learners of any field. What we actually need to do is invest a lot of time to research what’s needed to learn. Talking about research, here’s a link to help you learn the Kannada language online and from your home or anywhere you feel comfortable. This application aims at teaching spoken Kannada to non-Kannadigas within just 10 days. You read it right. Yes, the app is smart enough to teach the pronunciation of each and every word and also test if we are pronouncing it the right way. This application contains instant Words Translation and also Flexi course which gets divided into words translation and also Flexi course which gets divided into “Alphabet”, “Words”, “Conversation”, “Random Magic” and Antonyms”.

 Another tip is, if you aim to work somewhere in India and also learn the language offline, you can choose Bangalore, Karnataka. They have many organizations which offer a lot of jobs. Your colleagues will be very happy to teach you Kannada. It will automatically make you speak in Kannada if you stay far from the main cities because there will be fewer non-local people in the rural areas and the people who sell vegetables for living or your neighbors will be their people and it leaves you with no other choices but to speak in Kannada to be able to communicate. You will slowly adjust and start to speak their language in order to survive at that particular place. The last tip would be, “Practice”. Spending an hour a day practicing the language will help you speak the language fluently in no time and yes, you need to change your song preferences to Kannada songs, sing along and enjoy yourself in your free time to help you improve. 

If you have the desire and determination to study, age does not matter as I saw a lot of old people writing and reading. Be the change and let yourself be an example to break the paradigm of age as a barrier. No wonder, there are movies that are based on true stories where kids are extraordinary in academic progress at a young age. Don’t tell yourself or let the people around you judge by your age if you have the potential and desire to learn something you love.
