Kannada Kali

ಕನ್ನಡ ಕಲಿ

Weekly Kannada language classes for children and adults — keeping our language alive, one lesson at a time.

How It Works

Small Groups, Big Impact

Kannada Kali runs on a weekly class basis in small groups of 3–5 children, ensuring each child gets personal attention and progresses at a comfortable pace. Classes are held on weekends, and parents are always welcome to sit in.

We also offer a dedicated Kannada Kali for Adults — whether you grew up speaking Kannada at home but never learned to read and write, or you simply want to reconnect with your roots, our adult sessions are welcoming and practical.
