Good to see your interest in learning Kannada. 😊. 
 I would suggest you to use google translations for basic learning. 
 Make any localite friend. 
 Watch kannada movies with Subtitles 
 You can purchase kannada learning book in english version.

Best advice would be to connect to a friend who knows kannada. They will exactly know the words which you would be requiring on a daily basis to converse with other localites.

I’ve been residing in Bangalore since very long now, but feel bad that I still can’t communicate basic stuff in Kannada. I believe one should always try and learn the local language, makes life easier.
Has anyone tried kannadagottilla.com ?
Or any other free/paid sites or resources to learn Kannada?

Is learning a language like Mandarin/Spanish/German/French worth it? And if so which one. I was planning to learn Mandarin, can anyone list pros and cons????

Speak Kannada first.

This CM has done nothing but spread hatred and divide Karnataka as much as possible.

Yesterday, booked an auto (Namma Yatri) from Koramangala to Marathalli. Auto driver maybe in his Mid 30’s a Telugite settled in Bangalore.

I was trying to give instructions in Mix of English/Hindi/Telugu on where I am and he understood I am a Telugu speaking guy he switched to Telugu. Once I boarded the auto, he started a casual conversation in Telugu asking me about my whereabouts, what I do and from how long I have been in Bangalore. For which, I replied it’s nearly a year. Then he was quick to respond “Samvastaram avthundi vachi Kannada nerchukoled” (It’s been year and You haven’t learnt Kannada). I said, you are right I should have learnt Kannada and I will learn (at least learn basic words we use in our day to day life).

Then we moved from discussing Kannada to Andhra politics why Chandrababu Naidu was arrested, Pawan Kalyan and who will win the elections, he was praising late Rajashekar reddy and criticising his son Jagan .

While we were discussing, I opened my phone and started watching IndvsPak match on my phone and he observed this and started talking about how mobiles are impacting lives for good and bad. He told me about his college and school days, how the new years were celebrated, gifting the greeting card with the favourite actors/actress photos on them, how the gang used to go for a movie, celebrate by cutting cake at midnight. As I write this, I am remembering all those birthday parties, those cake and thumps up near year celebrations in my school days. Now , this has changed to sending a happy new year sticker on WhatsApp.

Came the destination I got off the auto and picked up my phone, saw a status about my friends birthday. I opened WhatsApp to text him wishes, instead I called him and we spoke for half an hour.

I am seeing a lot of hate on social media. Whenever there is a post related to Bangalore all the comments are about "aur karo kannada kannada". I have been in Bangalore for a few months now and most of the people I have talked to in Hindi have replied with some amount of Hindi. Haven't faced any discrimination. (Except in BMTC buses, the conductors are very rude, not sure if it's language related though).
Wanted to see if everything I am seeing on social media is true? Or is it just propaganda spread by politicians to divide and rule.

Is Bangalore really bad for Non kannada speakers?

I guess that's what happens when u have lazies who just want biryanis in life.

This post is not about South, but a well known answer to a question about North😅.

Be grateful south people still smile at us at times. And protect it for your own good

Hey everyone, 

Thought of creating a daily post where we all can hang around and talk just about anything - without having a specific topic to discuss. 
Think of this like the Watercooler at your office. 

Look forward to hearing from y'all :)

The hiring scene is so bad RN man, and why tf every company I get offer to seems toxic af as per the current and ex employees. So tough to find the right ones

Founder

I've been living in BLR all my life and been living in Gurgaon for about 4 months now because of company transfer. I thought BLR was bad until I came to Gurgaon.

1) The complete lack of apathy and compassion is off the charts here. People are so individualistic and small issues turn into huge fights. One example being a guy in a Fortuner hit my Hyundai hatchback from behind and screamed and made a scene when it was his fault and the guys all around supported him, I knew limited Hindi and I had to pay money to get the hell out of the place.

2) Climate and pollution: No words here. Extremely hot and polluted.

3) Rents have almost reached BLR levels or more 

4) infrastructure: I thought BLR infra was shit but roads are non existent here and streets get water logged and stays waterlogged for 10 hours even after rains stopped lol.

It feels like a dead City with no life, depressing and a concrete jungle.

Living in Gurgaon makes living in BLR seem like heaven

What are some of the do's/don'ts and tips for someone moving to Bangalore for the first time.

Tips for someone new at Bengaluru

I don’t get the narrative of most south states to force their language on others. I mean people from different states in the north speak different native language i.e Punjabi, Haryanvi etc but still they can do the conversation in Hindi. 

Most of the people from Bangalore always come with the phrase “Go back to your state”. Someone please tell them that we are living in their state as we don’t have much choice. 

Also, almost 70% of their employment comes from people like us.

IT companies should expand their operations in cities like Gurgaon, Hyderabad and Noida.

What do you guys think about this unwelcoming nature of some local bangalore people?

Challenges of Language Imposition and Unwelcoming Attitudes in Bangalore

Everyone knows the org behind this, faces are captured on cameras but still these culprits are roaming free. That’s how democracy works!

Hooliganism

This happened in Mumbai too but 10-15 years back. All new people registered their vote in Mumbai and killed this regional thinking. 
  
 All people who want bangalore to succeed. Register in bangalore and vote for right candidate. 
  
 Not a party which doles out cash for vote.

I want to shift to banglore asap . I am25. Earlier i was working as a primary teacher. Now i am trying to learn UI but failing miserably. I want to shift to blr asap so that i can live in. Different city and live my life before marriage. Learning ui side by side. Don't know how and when can I take n internship. I have done BBA in 2019. Any help you could do or guidance?
