Kannada stories when Karnataka is not home
· For parents
For families keeping Kannada in Bengaluru's mixed apartments, and for families far from Karnataka.
Kannada thins out in two different homes. In Bengaluru it can be squeezed by English at work and by Tamil, Telugu or Hindi in the building. Outside Karnataka it can shrink to one parent and a weekend call. Both homes can use the same small habit. Neither home should be told that an app is an auntie.
Two nights
Pick two nights. Play a Kannada story. Let the child ask Minie one question. On the weekend, if a grandparent is awake, the child retells two sentences. The Kannada page is the same idea in Kannada. Bengaluru is the city page, and it says the company is registered in Nandigama, Andhra Pradesh, not in that city.
Tamil next door
A lot of Kannada-speaking families also have Tamil in the house. Hey Minie does not offer Tamil. Keep Tamil with people. Do not play Kannada and call it close enough. English, Hindi and Telugu are the other languages in the library, if those are actually spoken at home.
Children at 4 can use Kannada as sound and repetition. Children at 9 can retell. Both can use their voice. That is the product. It is not a fluency certificate.
