Telugu classes for kids in Hyderabad
Children learn to read, write and speak Telugu step by step. Lessons cover letters, words, vocabulary, basic grammar, listening and comprehension — all taught through simple activities, stories and conversation.
- ★ Nizampet X Roads, Hyderabad
- ★ Beginners welcome
- ★ Ages 4 and up
Where every child starts: the vowels
అ ఆ ఇ ఈ
- First the vowels. అ sounds like the “a” in up.
- Then consonants. మ is the “ma” sound.
- Letters join to make sounds, and sounds join to make words.
- Soon your child reads అమ్మ — amma, mother. Their first word.
A few letters at a time, never the whole alphabet at once.
Quick answer
Brolly Juniors runs Telugu classes for kids in Hyderabad for ages 5 to 14. Children learn the aksharamala and gunintalu, build reading fluency, write correctly and grow the vocabulary to hold a conversation at home. Beginners who only understand spoken Telugu are welcome and are the majority of our learners.
How it works
Telugu learning for kids, made simple
What children learn, and why the lessons are built this way.
Children learn four things together: reading, writing, speaking and understanding. Each one helps the others, so none of them is left until later.
Structured practice matters because Telugu has a large alphabet. Learning it in a fixed order, a few letters at a time, is far easier than meeting letters at random. Every new letter builds on the ones before it.
Reading and writing are practised together. When a child writes a letter, their hand learns its shape, and that makes the letter much easier to recognise the next time they read it. Doing only one of the two makes both slower.
Speaking matters because a language you say out loud sticks. A child who only reads Telugu on a page will hesitate in a real conversation, so children talk in every session, even in the first few weeks.
Activities make all of this easier. Word games, picture matching, stories and poems keep a child going for longer than a worksheet would, and it is the extra practice that makes the difference.
The four skills
- Reading — letters, words, sentences, stories
- Writing — letter shapes, spelling, sentences
- Speaking — conversation and pronunciation
- Understanding — listening and comprehension
Good news about Telugu
Telugu is written almost exactly as it sounds. Once a child knows the letters, they can read a word they have never seen before and say it correctly. That makes reading easier than in English, where spelling often surprises you.
The alphabet is large, which is why it is taught a few letters at a time rather than all at once.
The same thing, three ways
Simple explanationTelugu has its own letters. Once a child knows the letters, they can read words. Once they can read words, they can read sentences and stories. Classes take a child through those steps in order, one small piece at a time.
Easy exampleA child learns the letter అ and the letter మ. Put them together and they can read అమ్మ — amma, which means mother. Two letters, one real word.
At Brolly JuniorsScript and speech are taught together from the first session, because a child who can read but not speak stops using the language the moment class ends. Book a free trial and your child can try a session before you decide anything.
For parents
Why should kids learn Telugu?
Many children in Hyderabad speak Telugu at home but cannot read or write it. These classes close that gap.
Reading practice
Regular reading turns slow letter-by-letter decoding into smooth reading. That change usually takes a few months of steady practice.
Writing practice
Guided handwriting practice makes letters neat and quick to write, which matters for school work.
Vocabulary
More words means more a child can say and understand. Words are taught in themes so they connect to daily life.
Better communication
Children speak more confidently with grandparents, relatives and neighbours when the words come easily.
Understanding stories
Telugu stories and poems open up once a child can read them alone rather than being read to.
Comprehension
Reading a passage and answering questions about it is a skill of its own, and it is practised directly.
Language confidence
A child who can read a signboard or a storybook stops feeling shut out of a language they hear every day.
Support for school
School Telugu asks for reading fluency, spelling and comprehension. These are the same skills practised here.
A link to family
For many families, Telugu is how grandparents talk. Reading and writing it keeps that connection whole.
A note on expectations: how fast a child progresses depends on how often they practise and where they start. We do not promise particular school marks or a fixed timeline — what we commit to is structured teaching and regular guided practice.

Skill one
Telugu reading
Reading is built in stages. A child never jumps from letters straight to a storybook — each stage is practised until it feels easy.
The good news is that Telugu is written as it sounds. Once a child knows the letters, they can read a word they have never seen before. That is why letter recognition gets so much attention early on.
Comprehension is added once a child reads sentences comfortably. Reading the words is one skill; understanding what they mean is another, and both are practised.
How reading is built
Letter recognition
Naming any letter quickly and correctly.
Word reading
Reading whole words rather than sounding out each letter.
Sentence reading
Reading a full sentence smoothly, with the right pauses.
Reading practice
Regular short readings that build speed and confidence.
Story reading
A short Telugu story read from start to finish, alone.
Comprehension
Answering questions about what was just read.
Skill two
Telugu writing
Writing is practised alongside reading, because forming a letter by hand is what makes it easy to recognise later.
Letter formation
Learning the correct order of strokes, which makes writing quicker and neater.
Handwriting practice
Regular short practice so letters become consistent in size and shape.
Word writing
Writing whole words correctly, joining what a child already knows.
Sentence writing
Putting words in the right Telugu order to make a complete sentence.
Spelling
Writing a word from memory, which is harder than copying and more useful.
Guided writing
Writing to a prompt with help available while the child works.
Creative writing
Writing a few sentences of their own — a short story or a description.
Neatness and speed
Both matter for school work, and both come from steady practice rather than pressure.
Skill three
Telugu speaking
Children speak Telugu in every session. These are the kind of everyday exchanges they practise — the romanisation is there so you can say them at home too.
నీ పేరు ఏమిటి?
nee peru emiti?
What is your name?
నా పేరు రవి.
My name is Ravi.
మీకు ఏమి ఇష్టం?
meeku emi ishtam?
What do you like?
నాకు పాలు ఇష్టం.
I like milk.
నువ్వు ఎలా ఉన్నావు?
nuvvu elaa unnaavu?
How are you?
నేను బాగున్నాను.
I am fine.
నీకు ఎన్ని సంవత్సరాలు?
neeku enni samvatsaraalu?
How old are you?
నాకు ఎనిమిది సంవత్సరాలు.
I am eight years old.
నీ బడి పేరు ఏమిటి?
nee badi peru emiti?
What is the name of your school?
నా బడి పేరు…
The name of my school is…
నమస్కారం!
namaskaaram!
Hello, greetings.
ధన్యవాదాలు.
Thank you.
Pronunciation
Saying each sound clearly, with gentle correction the moment it slips rather than later.
Question and answer
Children take turns asking and answering, so they practise both sides of a conversation.
Storytelling
Retelling a short story in their own Telugu words — the hardest and most useful speaking task.

Grammar made simple
Telugu grammar for kids
Grammar is taught through examples, not rules to memorise. Here is what children learn and what each part looks like.
Nouns
A noun is a naming word — a person, animal, place or thing.
అమ్మ (amma — mother) · పిల్లి (pilli — cat) · బడి (badi — school)
Pronouns
A pronoun stands in for a name, so you do not repeat it every time.
నేను (nenu — I) · నువ్వు (nuvvu — you) · అతను (athanu — he) · ఆమె (aame — she)
Verbs
A verb is a doing word. It tells you what is happening.
తినడం (tinadam — eating) · చదవడం (chadavadam — reading) · ఆడటం (aadatam — playing)
Sentence order
In Telugu the verb comes last. English says “I eat rice”; Telugu says “I rice eat”.
నేను అన్నం తింటాను. (nenu annam tintaanu — I eat rice.)
Singular and plural
Most Telugu words change their ending to show there is more than one.
పుస్తకం → పుస్తకాలు (book → books) · చెట్టు → చెట్లు (tree → trees)
Asking questions
Question words come inside the sentence rather than always at the start.
ఇది ఏమిటి? (idi emiti? — What is this?) · ఎక్కడ? (ekkada? — where?)
Inside a session
What happens in a Telugu class?
An example of how a session flows. Ask us for the current class structure and batch detail.
Warm-up
A quick, easy start that revisits letters or words from last time.
New Telugu words

Reading practice
Reading the new words, then a sentence or two using them.
Writing practice
Writing the same words by hand, which fixes the letter shapes in memory.
Speaking activity
Using the new words in a short conversation, usually in pairs.
Story or game
A Telugu story, poem or word game that uses everything from the session.
Quick recap
A short review of what was learned and what to practise at home.

At home
How parents can support Telugu at home
Eight simple things that make a real difference between sessions. None of them takes long.
Read Telugu stories together
Take turns reading a line each. Your child hears fluent reading and practises their own.
Practise a few words daily
Five words a day is plenty. Short and regular beats long and occasional.
Encourage Telugu conversations
Ask a question in Telugu at dinner. Even one exchange a day counts as practice.
Read the Telugu around you
Signboards, shop names, bus boards. Real Telugu in the world is good practice.
Use storytelling
Ask your child to tell you what happened in a story, in Telugu, in their own words.
Practise writing
A few letters or one sentence a day keeps handwriting steady between sessions.
Ask about new words
“What new word did you learn today?” makes a child recall it, which is what fixes it.
Make it fun
Word games and rhymes work better than testing. A child who enjoys it will keep going.
Parent guide
Questions parents ask us
Six short answers to the things that come up most in a first phone call.
Is Telugu difficult for children?
Not especially. Telugu is written as it sounds, so reading is easier than in English once the letters are known. The alphabet is large, which is why it is taught a few letters at a time.
How can children improve Telugu reading?
By reading a little every day at a level that is comfortable. Reading something slightly too hard slows a child down; reading something easy builds speed and confidence.
How can children improve Telugu speaking?
By speaking, even imperfectly. Ask questions in Telugu at home and accept whatever answer comes. Correcting every mistake makes children stop trying.
How often should children practise?
A little most days works better than a long session once a week. Ten or fifteen minutes of reading or writing is enough to keep progress steady.
Can beginners join?
Yes. Children who cannot read a single Telugu letter are welcome and start from the vowels. No prior knowledge is assumed at any point.
Can Telugu classes support school learning?
They can. School Telugu asks for reading fluency, spelling and comprehension, which are the same skills practised here. We would not promise particular marks.
Hyderabad
Telugu classes for kids in Hyderabad
Telugu is all around children in Hyderabad — at home, on signboards, in conversations with grandparents. Many children understand it perfectly well but have never learned to read or write it.
That gap is what these classes close. A child who already speaks Telugu usually moves quickly, because the vocabulary is familiar and only the letters are new. A child starting from nothing takes a little longer, and that is fine too.

Looking for Telugu classes near you?
Parents searching for Telugu classes near me usually want the same few things: a place that is easy to reach, a teacher who explains simply, and a class pitched at the right level. The level is the part worth checking carefully — a child who speaks Telugu at home but cannot read it needs something quite different from a complete beginner.

Questions & answers
Telugu classes for kids: frequently asked questions
What are Telugu classes for kids in Hyderabad?
They help children learn Telugu through reading, writing, speaking, vocabulary, grammar, comprehension and age-appropriate language activities. Each skill is taught in small steps and practised through games, stories and conversation.
What age can children start Telugu classes?
Children can start from around age four with letters, sounds and rhymes. Older children start wherever their current level sits, because activities are adapted to the child rather than fixed by age.
Are Telugu classes suitable for beginners?
Yes. Children who cannot read a single Telugu letter are welcome. Beginners start with the vowels and simple sounds, then move to words once the letters feel familiar.
My child speaks Telugu at home but cannot read it. Can they join?
Yes, and this is the most common starting point of all. A child who already speaks Telugu usually moves quickly, because the vocabulary is familiar and only the reading and writing are new.
What will kids learn in Telugu classes?
The aksharamala, letter recognition, word formation, reading, writing, spelling, vocabulary, basic grammar, sentence formation, speaking, listening and comprehension, along with stories, poems and conversation practice.
Do children learn Telugu reading?
Yes. Reading is built in stages: recognising letters, then whole words, then short sentences, then simple stories. Comprehension questions are added once a child reads sentences comfortably.
Do children learn Telugu writing?
Yes. Children practise letter formation and handwriting first, then word writing, spelling and sentence writing. Guided and simple creative writing come later, once the basics are steady.
Do Telugu classes include speaking practice?
Yes, in every session. Children practise everyday conversation, pronunciation, question-and-answer exchanges and storytelling, because a language used out loud is remembered better.
Do kids learn Telugu grammar?
Yes, at a level children can use: nouns, pronouns, verbs, singular and plural, and how a simple Telugu sentence is built. Grammar is taught through examples rather than rules to memorise.
Can Telugu classes help with vocabulary?
Yes. Children build vocabulary in themes such as family, school, food, animals, colours, numbers and nature, so new words connect to things a child already talks about.
Are Telugu classes useful for school students?
Many families find them helpful, because reading fluency, spelling and comprehension are the same skills school Telugu asks for. We do not promise particular marks, but the practice supports what is taught at school.
Is Telugu difficult for children to learn?
Telugu is written much as it sounds, which makes reading easier than in many languages once the letters are known. The alphabet is large, so it is taught a few letters at a time rather than all at once.
How can parents support Telugu learning at home?
Read Telugu stories together, practise a few words each day, speak Telugu at home where you can, and ask your child about new words they have learned. Short, regular practice beats long occasional sessions.
How much do Telugu classes for kids cost?
Fees vary with the age group, level and learning format, so we share current fees directly rather than publishing one figure that may not apply to your child.
How can I book a Telugu trial class?
Use the booking form on this page with your name, email and contact number, call us, or message on WhatsApp. Tell us your child’s age and how much Telugu they already know, so the session starts at the right level.
Quick answers
Telugu for kids: quick answers
Short, direct answers to the questions parents search for most.
How can kids improve Telugu reading?
By reading a little every day at a comfortable level. Material that is slightly too hard slows a child down. Letter recognition should be quick and automatic first, because everything else depends on it.
How can kids improve Telugu speaking?
By speaking, even imperfectly. Short daily conversations at home help more than formal practice. Correcting every mistake makes children hesitant, so let the sentence finish first.
How much Telugu practice does my child need?
Ten to fifteen minutes on most days is enough to keep progress steady between sessions. Short and regular beats long and occasional.
