About Me
italki teacher since Nov 8, 2022Interest topicEnvironment & NatureScienceTravelReading
My name is Girish, and I grew up in South India, studying and speaking Kannada, Hindi, and English. After college, I moved to the US for about 18 years. I learned Spanish when I cycled through Colombia and Ecuador for 9 months in 2022-23. Now, I am traveling (on and off bicycles) through India and learning more languages. Currently, I am learning Lepcha, an endangered language, while also trying to understand Nepali, Marathi, and Sanskrit as they are similar

Thank you for supporting my journey of learning new cultures and languages. And, I sincerely appreciate your interest.Me as a Teacher
Currently, I am learning a new language (Lepcha or Rongring) that's very different from the four languages I already know. Additionally, I am also trying to gain a basic grasp of Nepali, Marathi, and Sanskrit as they are a lot similar to Hindi.
I learned Spanish while on the road in 2022-23. I loved the everyday accomplishments, but the proudest days were when the locals appreciated my Spanish.
Over the past years, I have enjoyed reconnecting with my Kannada and Hindi roots. So, I do not teach as if we're in a school, but rather we as a team decide what's important to you, and then work together towards those goals.My lessons & teaching style
Your goals help me draft a learning plan for you and we as a team work towards those goals. I use many online resources and following are just a few of them.

Another great class with Girish having to push my limits explaining Finance stuff in Kannada, then into more relaxing mode, about my the appreciation text I wrote to my former Manager, that am still sad to have left. Interesting words came into picture, that I will be able to use in Spoken Kannada, maybe to write the same to my Kannadiga ex colleagues in BengaLuru haha :) Thank you for your help teacher!

Another great class, Girish forced me to explain my Account Payable issues all in Kannada which was a struggle but with his help I could do it :) So grateful for such an encouraging teacher! We have also discussed the research in the "nighanTu" (dictionary), priority on normal "varnamale" versus "ottakskara", with examples, interesting discussion! Exciting plans for future classes, so looking forward to everything that is coming yeepee! Amele sigoNa!

Girish is making me do things I did not even think I could do, explaining complicated things in Kannada, but with his encouragements, he proves to me that I can actually do it, and makes me go beyond my limits...or what I thought were my limits! So grateful for such a great teacher! Looking forward to see you in Karnataka :)

Today we discussed some useful daily conversations. Then we focused on a few alphabets and Girish was very patient in explaining the difference. Thank you

Another class full of laughs with Girish 😊 cathing up, talking about Ceilis (Irish dancing gatherings), about sadhus in India, and about a crazy love song way too romantic to be true 😝 but with very usable words in Spoken KannaDa so hoping to remember all of those! So lucky to get Girish's help to understand all types of materials, it makes my learning diverse! THANK YOU TEACHER!

Girish helped me understanding a crazy love song in Kannada (I love the melody) and we chatted about his trip, which is super interesting. Always guiding me to find the answers myself rather than serving me the answer to me on a tray, love it. Looking forward to the next class ! Yay!
