Before we dive into the subject of learning Telugu let us briefly look at the basic principles behind learning any new language. What makes it simple and successful? What did work so far? What did not?

Let’s first take a closer look at the typical methods used, like learning vocabulary as single, isolated pieces of information or learning grammar before listening to the language. All this has a severe impact on the time we need to invest and the success (or frustration) we experience during the process. We will then take a look at some alternative methods available today. So let’s begin with the classic approach:

What would you do right now if I gave you a list of 10 English words along with their Telugu equivalents and told you to learn them? Here is an example:
Chances are you would look at the first English word, then look at the Telugu word, repeat it several times, then close your eyes and keep on repeating it, then cover up the foreign word, look only at the English and see if you could remember how to say it in the language you’re learning, then go on to the next word, then the next, and the next, and then go back to the first to see if you remembered it, and so on through the list. Right?

Well, almost all of us would try it this way. This is how we learned it at school, after all. But this is one of the most error-prone, exhausting, and frustrating ways one can think of.

So here is the classic approach. It outlines the way many classic text books for learning a new language are written:
Step 1: Learning vocabulary
Step 2: Attempt to understand the lesson
Step 3: Attempt to pronounce, read out loud
Step 4: Practice grammar exercises
Step 1: Learning vocabulary

Step 2: Attempt to understand the lesson
Usually, after learning certain vocabularies, you are exposed to some text in Telugu, either a dialogue or some description, whatever. The problem that comes up now is, that even if you have learned the vocabularies well, you have learned them as isolated chunks, without context. Words in Telugu, similar to English, often have different meanings in different contexts. At this point you have no way to determine the right meaning. When to use which word? This leaves you with the impression that Telugu is a complex language (which is not true).
And if you have not learned the vocabulary well you will feel helpless, frustrated, even «stupid» and perhaps conclude «learning Telugu is very difficult» or «I have no talent for languages», which is probably far from being true, since you already learned English well enough to read this. 🙂
The danger here is that this creates negative expectations. Such expectations create a potential to become true and in turn reinforce such beliefs. This is called a self-fulfilling prophecy. It is very important to keep up the positive feelings about the language. That keeps you going!

Step 3: Attempt to pronounce, read out loud
In this step you are usually supposed to pronounce the Telugu words right from the start, either during the learning of vocabulary or during a class. While this approach is believed to be particularly «modern» it is not the natural way. Consider that babies listen to language for many months before they even try to imitate some of the sounds. But we as grownups expect our selves to immediately imitate these sounds we are not yet familiar with. How should that work? Well, it hardly does.
What happens is that we will not only pronounce badly, we will also associate talking Telugu with the uncomfortable feelings of frustration and failure. This «negative learning attitude» is the number one killer, the prime reason for bad results or people stopping to learn Telugu all together. This can be easily avoided, as we will see soon. However, let us first talk about the last step in the classical model:
