Kanakadurga Dingari Telugu Teacher

I have been tutoring elementary and middle school students Telugu since 1997 on and off. I teach them how to read and write step by step starting with the Telugu alphabet. I encourage them to speak in Telugu at home. I teach them easy words and sentences to use in conversation with family members and friends. In addition, I teach them interesting rhymes, poems, and songs so that they can practice the language through those. I teach them the meaning of all the words in those rhymes, poems, and songs, increasing their Telugu vocabulary. In each class, I give the students some homework with interesting and fun activities to give them a chance to practice whatever they learn in the class. When they are competent with the alphabet, I introduce grammar to help them read and write. Every few weeks I review previous lessons with dictation of words, sentences, fun quizzes, and more. I have taught students online, as well, following the same methods. If the students are only learning to speak instead of also reading and writing, I begin teaching grammar earlier so they are able to speak correctly. I enjoy teaching Telugu and believe that learning the mother tongue is very important. It connects people speaking Telugu all around the world, and by teaching children, we are preserving it. Telugu, sometimes known as the "Italian of the East," is one of the most beautiful languages in the world, and children deserve to be taught such a wonderful language.
