Watch kannada movies. Preferably the ones that are from 70 to 90's. You can learn quicker

Wow! Good thinking. Waiting for GV K-language warriors to come for rescue. Good luck man!

Easy after you make a friend who can help by conversing with you and giving feedback. Of course hard part was in the first line itself.  
  
 But hardest part is to keep talking even though you might be weird in grammar/accents and clueless about what was asked.

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.

Or any other free/paid sites or resources to learn Kannada?

Tips for someone new at Bengaluru

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.

If you're living in Bangalore, it's better to learn the language before the Govt makes stringent rules among other things.

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

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?

There used to be a lot of local good structured apps a couple years back for learning Kannada, Telugu, Tamil, Urdu, Gujarati etc with English/Hindi base language. I am unable to find the exact ones now on the play store. Do you guys know any good apps (Indian version of Duolingo) for our languages?

There is a reason why u r asked to get out of city. And locals don't usually say that to Telugus or Tamils or Marathis. It's predominantly aimed at a section from somewhere and a major reason is people from that somewhere are generally crap(sorry for stereotyping).

1. Be grateful for the local land, culture and set up. 
Problems exist everywhere, solve it if you can, remember that you were not born in a palace.

2. Learn the local culture, actualize it, propagate it. Massive influx of immigrants wipes out the existing culture. Onus is on you to not only protect it but spread it as well. If you don't then yes, u should get the fck out.

3. India is a mix of cultures. Just how Hindi is important a language so is kannada. Telugu or Tamil or everyone. Did you even know Kannada has won 8 Jnanapith awards(highest literary honour) vs Hindi's 11 despite the miniscule population of kannada infront of Hindi?
Do you even know how rich kannada literature is? Do you really believe it deserves death in its own crown jewel(Bangalore?). Who do you think you are if you think this city should speak the language of people u come from but don't put an effort to speak the city's language.

Live and let live. Yes that's a 2 way street. Onus has always been on you. After more thab decade of handing you guys an olive branch, now the city has realised our open gesture is taken for granted. Well, make no mistake we will teach you the right way. Onus is still on you!

Don't bring this shyt to Bangalore or south cities and ruin it

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.
