Telugu for Dummies

yeah. guess we need one for Telugu now and several other native languages.

With English making inroads everywhere , most languages are on a downward trend. Even my maid speaks faultless English. And the funny part is she makes it a point to reply in English when I speak in Telugu. I stick to Telugu at home.

Go to any shop, any mall, its always English. Even the autos.

So ok enough of the rant.

Try and find the words for the following in your native language.

Doubt, Criticize, Agree, Disagree, Pity, Use, Misuse.

There are lots of em. From today on ill be posting a couple of words /day.
So check and see where you stand.

Oh.. We are on the same lines. When I was listening to a podcast (To learn Dutch) yesterday,I thought we should also have created few podcasts to teach Telugu at least for our onsite teams.
