How to get started
This module teaches the first consonant group: ಕ ಖ ಗ ಘ ಙ. Learners first identify each letter visually, then practise saying it in simple Kannada examples.
Notice the four-way distinction in Indian phonology: unaspirated vs aspirated × unvoiced vs voiced: ಕ (unaspirated unvoiced), ಖ (aspirated unvoiced), ಗ (unaspirated voiced), ಘ (aspirated voiced). ಙ is the velar nasal, rare word-initially.
