#5 Mistakes to avoid while learning Tulu

Hello again. A person who is in Tulunadu not knowing Tulu would normally be treated as a stranger.  So, it is common that one might badly wants to learn Tulu. In the beginning, Tulu might seem a bit difficult to learn. But believe me, after learning Tulu, one doesn't feel as comfortable as speaking in Tulu while speaking in any other languages. Tulu is a sweat language, that it feels very sound to hear it. So, an outsider who wants to learn Tulu must try to avoid some mistakes. It would help learning Tulu faster.


#1: Thinking that it's tough
The first mistake that is commonly made by non-Tuluvas is that thinking Tulu is tough. By listening to the speed at which people speak, and the way the tongue twists, it is often that one might feel Tulu is difficult to be learned. I suggest, first, remove that from your mind. Tulu is not a difficult language; perhaps, it is one of the easiest and sweetest languages that one can learn. This would help in making it learn faster.

#2: Afraid of making mistakes
Another mistake that is commonly made is feeling afraid of making mistakes while speaking. It is very common that one would make mistakes while learning a language. But whats important is that you should not be afraid of making mistakes. People might laugh at you, but you should not consider them. What's important is that you learn Tulu and speak it fluently in front of those who laughed. So, I suggest, make mistakes and try to correct them.

#3: Relying on one learning method
It is not right that one relies on one particular way of learning. There are several ways a person can learn a language. Try to use them all. For example, you don't just listen, but also try to speak, ask help from others, try to know new words, etc. So, it is suggested that, try to figure out all possible ways available to learn Tulu and use them all.

#4: Translating
Yet another mistake that language learners commonly make is that they translate from their native languages. The usage of grammar in Tulu is similar to that of Kannada and other South Indian languages. So, it wouldn't be a big problem for a South Indian. Anyone else with other language bases might have to try not to translate directly from their language and speak the language as it is.

#5: Not being open to the culture
Another thing one should make sure while learning Tulu is that he is open to the Tulunadu culture. When a person is adaptable to the culture it is very easy to learn the language of that place. One must think that Tulunadu is his in order to learn Tulu easily and faster. Celebrate the customs of Tulunadu so you are one among us. Avoiding the above-mentioned mistake will surely help in learning Tulu real quick.

Mistakes are a necessary part of a language learning process. It does not mean that one has to keep doing the same mistakes over and over again. To conclude, avoiding the mistakes mentioned above would help anyone learn Tulu with ease.
