When you want a thing that your heart desires nothing can stop you. It is the same as learning a new language. Kannada is not so difficult when you know the basics, almost all the languages that are spoken in south India have some similarities. For example, if you are fluent or know Tamil or Hindi you can speak Kannada easily. Because of the similarity in the root of the languages, it is easy for the learner to learn the language. Such as, the sound and the meaning are similar or same with each other. For example, the word ‘Taayi’ in Kannada means ‘mother’. In Tamil, it is ‘Taay’, ‘Tande’ means ‘father’ in Kannada. In Tamil, it is ‘Tandai’, ‘Niyama’ means ‘rules’ in Kannada. In Hindi, it is ‘Niyam’, ‘Ullangane’ means ‘violation’ in Kannada, and in Hindi, it is ‘Ullangan’.
Another way of learning Kannada easily is to live in a state where the majority of its people speak the languages. To survive in a foreign environment you need to be familiar with its language and culture. In order to communicate with people, you will pick up the easy, basic conversation as long as you are exposed to the environment. Your colleagues at work or friends at college or school will be very happy to teach you Kannada so they needn’t have to explain again every time the group has a conversation. 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 no other choices but to speak in Kannada to be able to communicate. Yes, it is somewhat difficult to adapt to a new place but once you’ve gotten over with the homesickness, you will live a different life from how it is in your hometown and you will slowly adjust and start to speak their language in order to survive at that particular place. It an easy language to pick up or learn if you know the basics.
