My name is Girish, and I grew up in South India, studying and speaking Kannada, Hindi, and English. After college, I moved to the US for about 18 years. I learned Spanish when I cycled through Colombia and Ecuador for 9 months in 2022-23. Now, I am traveling (on and off bicycles) through India and learning more languages.

Ik als leerkracht
Currently, I am learning Nepali and Lepcha. Additionally, I am also trying to gain a basic grasp of Marathi, and Sanskrit as they are a lot similar to Hindi.
I learned Spanish while on the road in 2022-23. I loved the everyday accomplishments, but the proudest days were when the locals appreciated my Spanish.
Over the past years, I have enjoyed reconnecting with my Kannada and Hindi roots. So, I do not teach as if we're in a school, but rather we as a team decide what's important to you, and then work together towards those goals.
Mijn lessen en manier van lesgeven
Your goals help me draft a learning plan for you and we as a team work towards those goals. I use many online resources and the following are just a few of them.

I was doubtful about iTalki and how it could help me learn Kannada, but Girish is an outstanding teacher with great patience. He makes sure I understand things before moving on. He stops even when I utter a single word, understanding the importance of letting me complete my thoughts and giving me space to speak. He brings a balance of technique and free-flowing conversation. He lived in the US and traveled across the world and India, which makes it so interesting to talk to him.

Another great class with Girish! We chatted about my reasons for learning Japanese, and other languages, and then had a look at my homework, reviewed the vocabulary I had looked up in the dictionary, and translated the article in English, Girish had sent me to work on. Very interesting, thanks for your help Girish Avare, as always!
