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.

Thank you for supporting my journey of learning new cultures and languages. And, I sincerely appreciate your interest.

Ich als Lehrkraft
Currently, I am learning Nepali and Lepcha. Additionally, I am also trying to gain a basic grasp of 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.
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
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 the following are just a few of them.

Girish has told me about his trip around Assam and Meghalaya cycling all in KannaDa and I had to understand his story. His always super helpful giving me synonyms when I do not understand, guidance for me to reach the answer by myself, sometimes driving us to laugh a lot when I am completely out of what he is expecting but languages is made to be enjoyed and that is what I love about Girish's classes! Thank you Teacher :)

I was doubtful about iTalki and how it could help me learn Kannada, but Girish is an outstanding teacher with great patience. He makes sure I understand things before moving on. He stops even when I utter a single word, understanding the importance of letting me complete my thoughts and giving me space to speak. He brings a balance of technique and free-flowing conversation. He lived in the US and traveled across the world and India, which makes it so interesting to talk to him.
