The residents of Teachers Colony have decided to impart conversational Kannada classes for non-Kannadigas at a nominal rate of Rs 100 while senior citizens don’t have to pay anything.
Though this is meant for residents staying in and around Teacher’s Colony, they have been kind enough to extend this facility to all the residents of HSR Layout and HSR Layout extension.
The classes will be conducted every Sunday, beginning October 14, 2018. They will be held over two months. The Kannada sessions will be held at Carmel Garden Public School from 11am to 1230pm. “The necessary books will be provided by us,” says Divya Yogeesh. “A teacher from BTM Layout will be the regular faculty in addition to the Kannada-speaking residents who volunteer from time to time.”
In addition to weekly contact classes, the education will happen through a WhatsApp group specifically set up only for students. “Every day, we will teach them how to draft one sentence,” says Divya. “In addition, all the doubts will be clarified by the tutors in the WhatsApp group.”
The interested candidates can register their names by paying Rs 100 as the registration fee with either Geetha (90087-97000) or Divya (94803-50295). And those who want to volunteer as a Kannada teacher are also welcome to be part of this noble initiative.
