Telugu Classes

"తెలుగ దేలయన్న దేశంబు తెలుగేను 
తెలుగు వల్లభుండ తెలుగొకండ
ఎల్లవారు వినగ ఎరుగవే బాసాడి
దేశ భాషలందు తెలుగు లెస్స ”
—శ్రీ కృష్ణదేవ రాయలు

Our mother-tongue Telugu is one of sweetest languages in the world as it is an 'Ajanta' bhasha i.e. a Vowel ending language. It is called Italian of the east. It is the 3rd most spoken language of India after Hindi and 15th most spoken language of the world. TAS encourages young children to learn our maatru bhasha to develop confidence and strengthen the roots of their Telugu identity. TAS runs Telugu classes on weekends for kids and adults. Telugu badi focuses on all aspects of Telugu – reading, writing and speaking.
