āpaṇa samastaṅku hārdik svāgata| A warm welcome to all of you! Congratulations! Learning the official language of Odisha will introduce you to its spectacular architecture, history, dialects, vibrant art, music, and dance forms, which make Odisha the ever-sprightly state of India. Speaking Odia will make your stay in Odisha immersive and unforgettable. Presently, Odia is spoken by a whopping 35 million native speakers, not only in Odisha (its home state) but owing to migration; even in Andhra Pradesh, Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, and West Bengal in India. Odia has spread globally as well; to Thailand, Indonesia, Canada, Australia, England, Myanmar, Malaysia, Fiji, Sri Lanka, Middle Eastern countries, and the United States! Like any other state language, spoken Odia too has several dialects, where each dialect has its own charm and style. Although there are so many dialects, Mughalbandi (from Coastal Odia) is the standard dialect and the language of education. Language Curry takes the same into account to ensure that learners get the most out of it.
At Language Curry we are inspired by how naturally and instinctively kids learn their mother tongue. Not through books! Its basic audio and visual recall. You learn a word for an image your brain sees and slowly you learn to join these words in a sensible manner to form a sentence! This is exactly how our approach to language learning is. Images and audio visual help you speak basic words, phrases and sentences.
You cannot learn an entire dictionary from a course. But you sure can pick up words that you would need the most. We help you chose the vocabulary based on common themes based on your needs. Once you learn and you use those, you wont forget!
We asked many on their motivation to learn a new language and everyone had an answer that took us back to the need to connect to the native people, to understand a community and to feel the sense of belonging to a place. So how could we miss culture! We weaved the most relevant and interesting facts and cultural nuances you need to know for the best connect.
