I love Kannada. Of course. I am a Telugu speaker too; I think it's the sweetest sounding language. Perhaps I'll be able to read simple Telugu children's books to some of my Telugu speaking students! 💫

Last week I told a Telugu speaking student who learns Kannada with me that Kannada and Telugu are very close, like sisters. His mother reads Telugu stories to him. He recognized the similarity in the aksharas and said, half frustrated, "Why can't they just have the same script?"

8) N is 7 now and this is what she wrote in a school worksheet. 💕 The switch from finding a kindred spirit in a character to understanding the creator's role in shaping the character and her world is so heartening. She's growing up!
