Kannada Learning

A modern, interactive way to learn Kannada.

Overview

An experiment in building a genuinely enjoyable language learning experience for Kannada, a language underserved by mainstream learning platforms.

Why I built it

Existing resources for Kannada are either too academic or too sparse. This is an attempt to build something that actually makes learning feel good.

What I was exploring

Interactive language learning design, script recognition in the browser, and contextual vocabulary over word lists.

How it works

A Next.js application with interactive exercises. Kannada script is rendered with care for correct typography. Exercises are designed around recognition, reading, and listening.
