How it works
Four steps for every Kannada sentence
One loop you repeat on every sentence, ending with you speaking Kannada out loud.
Step 1
Order
See a Kannada sentence and rebuild it in English from a bank of words.
Step 2
Translate
See the English and build the sentence in Kannada, word by word.
Step 3
Listen
Hear the sentence spoken in Kannada, then type what you understood.
Step 4
Speak
Say it out loud in Kannada and see which words landed and which to try again.
Speaking Kannada
Why speak Kannada from day one
The sounds, rhythm and word order of Kannada stick when you produce them, not when you recognise them. Each sentence you say out loud gets you closer to the way a real Kannada speaker talks, and the speaking step shows you which words you landed.
Kannada is written in the Kannada script. You hear and say each sentence while you learn to read it, so the writing system is never a wall in front of speaking.

Kannada questions, answered
Can I learn Kannada for free with 4ToSpeak?
Yes. The free plan needs no card and has no time limit. You get 25 daily energy, about 3 to 4 full lessons a day, and the whole module store is open to you (some modules cost coins you earn by practising).
How does 4ToSpeak teach Kannada speaking?
Every Kannada sentence goes through four steps: you order it, translate it, listen and type it, then say it out loud. The last step is the point. You hear how close you were, word by word, instead of tapping an answer.
Do I need a microphone to practise Kannada?
Yes, for the speaking step. Your browser asks permission the first time, and it works on a phone, a tablet or a computer. The other three steps work without one.
Do I need to know any Kannada already?
No. Lessons start from short everyday Kannada sentences and build up, so you can begin from nothing.
What script does Kannada use?
Kannada is written in the Kannada script. You do not have to master it before you start. You hear and say each sentence while you learn to read it.
