How I Started Learning Telugu

Closed Captions (CC) are available in both English and తెలుగు.

Upon learning that the international student in front of me was from Hyderabad, I sang (very crudely) the lyrics of a Telugu song I knew out loud. Her reaction was unforgettable! Although I was already familiar with Telugu music, that moment gave me the courage I needed to try learning the language.

After graduating, I still consider myself a beginner in Telugu, but our soul-sister bond hasn’t changed. Moral of the story: memorize the Orange soundtrack—you never know when it'll spark a new friendship!
