Anki

Anki is a program which makes remembering things easy. Because it's a lot more efficient than traditional study methods, you can either greatly decrease your time spent studying, or greatly increase the amount you learn.

Anki is available for Desktop, iPhone and Android. Once you install the app. Download the NithyaKannada Package (Eg: NithyaKannada_1.apkg ) and import into the App. Then start practising. I have screenshots below for your reference.

Download the .apkg file (NithyaKannada_1.apkg) and open it with Anki app.

You can start study. It will show the question. Now try to remember the Kannada version.

Show Answer will display the answer (In Kannada) and also plays audio

All the raw audio files are available on Archive.org. You can download them from there. But I would suggest using flashcards if you are interested only in learning.

I’m a medical student at Manipal, and Hindi is my language at home. While we all have to learn ‘medical Kannada’ to speak with our patients, most of our students are not fluent in normal conversational Kannada. Something like "nāḷe sigōṇa” was new to me.

Thank you again for your work in this. I will share this with my friends.
