Initially I was hesitant to take up Kannada coaching because I thought learning a new language will be difficult & boring. However Esther made our coaching sessions interesting & fun, by personalizing the lessons to my context. The lessons are also structured in a way that builds on previous classes. After every class, I could take back what I learned and apply it in my work. If you're looking for personalized Kannada coaching sessions, I would highly recommend Esther.

The easiest way for you to get started and learn the most useful building-blocks of Kannada as well as to progress to fluency. Discover the finer points of Kannada with Esther Shamsunder of Kannada Fluency. With her online one-on-one classes you will be able to understand the language and its nuances.
Usually online language schools tend to be expensive, Kannada fluency has courses that are extremely affordable. The one I picked was the one-on-one, 10 hourly classes spread over a flexible period. Ms Shamsunder will also record the class for a small additional fee. This gives you the freedom to play and replay the recording at your leisure till you are picture perfect. Is brilliant for learning during your commute especially on our roads.
Kudos to Ms Shamsunder for her preparation, delivery and genuine interest.
Strongly recommended.

I've had the good fortune of taking Kannada language lessons from Esther for about a year. Esther does a great job breaking down what can sometimes seem to be a difficult language into clear, direct, step by step lessons. In conjunction with her clear and comprehensive blog, her lessons provide a strong foundation for basic speaking skills and comprehension. Esther's best quality is her incredible patience. She is always attuned to the speed of my progress and adjusts her lessons accordingly. She also makes classes rich and interesting by discussing Kannada and Bengaluru culture. For anyone wanting to learn Kannada, or a new language in general, I'd strongly recommend Esther's classes to anyone.

I can now understand when my Bengaluru colleagues speak in Kannada and it is interesting to know their customs back home. Meeting over lunch is enjoyable as I get to practice my Kannada with them.

Being in Bangalore for years, I have been wanting to learn Kannada since a long time and quite honestly,I had also put in some efforts towards it.e.g Trying to learn it through some apps available. However, I did not find any structured content anywhere. All I found was a list of words and common sentences, which did not help much.
Then I came across Esther's Skype classes. I was a little apprehensive, but the classes seemed a convenient option, so I went ahead with them.
The content of course is really structured, paying emphasis on basic words, grammar, tenses etc. Its almost similar to how we would learn a language at school. It not only gives a huge vocabulary, but also the power to start forming your own sentences, which I believe is the stepping stone to learning a new language. Though I still have a long way to go in speaking kannada very fluently, but I would surely say I'm on my way.
I would specially recommend this course to all the non-kannada speaking population of Bangalore.

It takes me immense pleasure to write this mail today after completing ten kannada lessons with Mrs. Esther. I am doctor by profession pursuing post graduation in Karnataka a state where the spoken language was completely foreign to me. I was very anxious but there I found this dynamic, patient and versatile teacher who was ready to teach me kannada on skype.
Trust me after these 101 kannada sessions, I today feel confident about kannada language and the sole credit goes to her. She was always ready to amend her ways of teaching according to my needs, she was ready to go beyond her own way of teaching to make me feel comfortable. Her way of teaching made the language very easy for me to grasp. She would always make sure that we learn in a joyful way with no burden, she used to make sure that I revise my previous lessons and was always welcome for any question, any change in schedule and any type of request.
I sincerely thank her for all the efforts she has put in for me and her hard work will surely help me in my future endeavours. I am sure the material she gave me will help me for these three crucial years of my life.

ESTHER GRADUALLY INTRODUCES IN EACH SESSION TO NEW VOCABULARY,EXPLAINS CORRECT PRONUNCIATION AND HELPS TO BUILD SENTENCES. THANK YOU ESTHER FOR THIS WONDERFUL COURSE !!

I have always had trouble learning new languages which is why even after having stayed in Bangalore for 5 years, I could hardly understand a word of it. After searching quite a bit for Kannada teaching centers, my husband came across www.learnkannadafluency.com .This was exactly the kind of class I was looking for - Flexible and One with minimal commute since all the lessons here are through Skype. The most positive aspect of Mrs.Esther's coaching method is she is extremely friendly, patient and very encouraging. She ensures the student is comfortable and maintains the pace according to what is required. Since it is one-to-one, we also get exclusive attention which will be lacking in a classroom session.
From not understanding more than a couple of words in Kannada, I have now reached a stage where I can understand most of what is spoken to me and respond back in broken sentences. I did complete 30 classes with her but I am continuing with a further 10 classes so that I can gain confidence in talking to the locals. I would also say if you are good with languages, you can easily become proficient even before the 30 classes are up.

I would recommend your Spoken Kannada for Beginners e-course for anyone wanting to learn fluent Kannada fast. The downloadable mp3's are particularly useful in learning the right pronunciation.

My family travels long distances to sightsee Karnataka by road often. Taking your Skype Coaching sessions helped me to interact with locals along the journey, and it was certainly not a problem anywhere. I got to see some of the best unspoiled natural beauty of Karnataka’s coastline, between Mangalore and Goa. Thank you for teaching me Kannada as it is spoken.

The e-course is really good. I’ve been in Bangalore for 8 years now. I’m more comfortable learning spoken Kannada in a structured way so that I am confident I’m not going to offend anyone here. I’ve realised that the first offense locals take here is that I've not learned the language in spite of having lived here so long. I was surfing on the internet when I came across your website and felt it was like my wish come true .Your e-course suits my requirement perfectly. It is flexible and at the same time I see it is well structured and organised. I heard your podcast while driving yesterday and I am glad I signed up for your course since the pronunciations are a key aspect in Kannada.

First of all I would like to thank you for your wonderful work in helping people in learning and mastering the beautiful language of Kannada. Your work is exemplary and praiseworthy. I have been learning basic Kannada from your website. Now I would like to go further and avail the "Learn Kannada in 30 Days" course.

"India is a land of unity in diversity. But to assimilate that diversity one needs to take challenges and what else other than learning a language can help to achieve that. Bengaluru is a place very close to my heart and spending few months there compelled me to learn the language. I had opted for 10 days session. Esther is very crisp while conducting the sessions, helping me to pronounce it correctly. I shall definitely recommend this course for all who wants to learn the language in a short span of time"
