Whether you are looking to reconnect with your roots or master a new skill, our classes offer a bridge to a rich cultural identity.
Why Learn Telugu with Us?
Learning a language is more than just memorizing words—it’s about belonging. Here is why our program stands out:
Did you know that Telugu is known as the Italian of the East ? due to its melodic, vowel-ending structure (ending in a, i, u, e, o), similar to Italian. This term was coined by 15th-century Italian traveler Niccolò de' Conti, who was struck by its soft, musical sound while visiting the Vijayanagara Empire, questioning if it was "language or music".
Expert-Led Curriculum: Benefit from decades of academic refinement, featuring materials developed by renowned scholars like Mrs. V. Prabhakaran and Mr. V. Latchanna.
Free Tuition: We believe culture should be accessible to everyone. AMSSATA offers free classes for both children and adults.
Comprehensive Learning: We guide you from the basics all the way to the Senior Certificate level, using our very own specialized primer, Telugu Chadhuvu.
