Preface
Language, in a sense, is “man’s culminating cultural instrument.” It is a social
institution. It is an expression of human spirit. Every language has its own set of
vocabulary. And every word has its own sound. Indeed, words are more than sounds–
they emote bhava in the listener. For poets, words are vennelalo adukone andamaina
adapillalu – “beauteous belles playing about under the moonlight.”
Words are the accepted vehicles of new things, new ideas, new attitudes, or new
points of view. Every practitioner of a language must acquire a fair understanding of
words. No matter even if it is one’s mother-tongue, one can enjoy it more, only if he
or she could see it from the inside – looking at the words with a feeling for them. This
becomes feasible only when one knows what the symbol, the sound, the word stands
for.
And that is what this module aims at. It enables you to master the Telugu words
through Roman script – all by yourself. This module launches you on the path of
reading and writing Telugu words. It starts with two-lettered words graduating into
multi-lettered words. This module is aimed at helping you learn to read Telugu words
with an artist’s eye.
It is hoped that by going through the module you would cultivate a better appreciation
for your language. This shall make words look more than mere sounds. Once you
cultivate this art of looking at words from inside, they no longer remain as mere
denotations of emotions. They will rather ‘voice’ emotions. It is only then that the
language becomes yours. It then simply becomes innate. Talking in Telugu then
becomes a jingling of the “beauteous belles.”
Once the taste is cultivated for your language – the sound and the feelings that the
words emote – you are sure to be swayed by a newfound urge to learn more complex
words and start conversation in Telugu – all with ease. If this happens, we shall feel
that this initiative of C P Brown Academy has achieved its objective.
Nonetheless, a book, just as a good teacher, can at best, direct, aid and encourage a
learner but it is his or her effort that alone can make learning happen.
We solicit feedback from the readers for making the module more learner-friendly.
