Kannada Gothilla Podcast

Kannada Gothilla Podcast

Kannada Gothilla is a phrase heard often in Bangalore. It’s a go-to phrase to convey to someone you do not know the language. There are several reasons for this. One of the reasons is there isn’t a useful resource to learn Kannada. We hope to change that. The Kannada Gothilla podcast will break down everyday scenarios where knowing a few Kannada words will help. Arvind, a native speaker, will be your teacher, and Aakash, who doesn’t know the language, will be the learner. Together we will break down scenarios, give you words to use, and hopefully, it’ll help you learn the language.
