Please give me one kilo of rice

How much? Can you reduce the price?

Will you go by meter?

ಕಚೇರಿ ಕನ್ನಡ
Greet colleagues, join watercooler chats, discuss meetings, ask for help, and build real relationships at your Bengaluru workplace.
“ಮೀಟಿಂಗ್ ಯಾವಾಗ ಶುರು ಆಗ್ತದೆ?”

Don't see your daily scenario?
We add new real-life scenarios every week based on learner requests.
We combine proven language-learning science with the fun of a game to keep you motivated, consistent, and actually speaking Kannada.
Practice exactly what you'll say — bargaining at the sabji market, catching an auto, ordering at a darshini, or chatting with your neighbour. Context-first learning that sticks.
ಎಷ್ಟಾಯ್ತು?
How much is it?
ನೂರು ರೂಪಾಯಿ
One hundred rupees
Learn to count with authentic Kannada numerals (೧, ೨, ೩…). Drill prices, quantities, and floor numbers until they come out naturally in every conversation.
Five fresh Kannada words every morning, hand-picked from real Karnataka life — food, directions, emotions, everyday objects. Spaced repetition makes them permanent.

“I moved to Bangalore for work and felt lost at the market. After 3 weeks with Namma Kannada, I can actually haggle for vegetables — and the vendors are delighted! The cultural context lessons are a game changer.”
Priya Sharma
Software Engineer · Bengaluru
“The gamification keeps me hooked. I've tried 4 language apps before — this is the only one where I've maintained a streak over a month. The Kannada script lessons are surprisingly fun and clear.”
Marco Fernandes
UX Designer · Mumbai → Mysuru
“As someone who explores Karnataka frequently, this app unlocked a completely different experience. Local people open up when you speak even a few words of their language. Absolutely worth it.”
