Kannada for Indian-American children
Kannada-speaking families are spread across the US, and many live far from a weekend Kannada school. Live online classes bring a dedicated Kannada teacher to your home, wherever you are.
A head start on the Seal of Biliteracy
Most US states award a Seal of Biliteracy on the high-school diploma to students who show strong skills in a second language. Reading and writing well in Kannada, not just speaking it, helps if your district offers an approved Kannada assessment.

Kannada classes in the USA: common questions
There's no Kannada school near us. Can my child still learn properly?
Yes. Live one-on-one classes cover letters, reading, writing and conversation, so your child gets a full course from home.
Can my child learn to read Kannada storybooks?
Yes. Once the letters are secure, classes move on to reading Kannada storybooks and textbooks.
Can siblings learn Kannada together?
Children at different levels usually progress faster in separate one-on-one classes. Ask us about timings that work for both.
What times can my child take Kannada classes from the US?
Weekday early mornings and Saturday mornings work best. For example, 7 am in New York is 4:30 pm in India in summer, and 8 am on Saturday in California is 8:30 pm in India in summer. The time table on this page works it out for your time zone.
Is messaging you on WhatsApp free from the US?
Yes. WhatsApp messages and calls use the internet, so there are no international charges. We reply within 1 hour during our working hours.
What if my child doesn't click with the teacher?
We change the teacher for free. Just tell us on WhatsApp.
