Hello Language Lovers! Thank you for joining me for this episode of Speaking Tongues- the podcast in conversation with multilinguals. This week, I’m so happy to be joined by Anita from Bhasha Kids to talk about South Indian languages including Malayalam and Tamil.

Anita talks to us about relearning Malayalam as an adult and learning Tamil with her husband and kids. She talks to us about the poignant subject of growing up in between two heritages which is something that many Indian-Americans feel growing up in the states as children of parents born in India. She tells us how her mission with Bhasha Kids is to help kids understand cultural differences and ensure that they embrace their culture with pride. We talk about the Dravidian languages of South India including Tamil & Telugu and why she felt it imperative to focus on these languages in the development of her business. Anita tells us why inclusivity played a big role in starting her company and about the methods she uses to ensure that she not only meets kids where they are but also makes the process simple for little learners.
