Adam’s Speak Kannada Now

Adam’s Speak Kannada Now

Learn to speak Kannada the way it is practically spoken in and around Bangalore and Karnataka. Listen and repeat after native speakers. Listen hands and screen free while you do other things. Spaced repetition of new words and prompts for you to recall the phrases will facilitate your learning of the language. Short lessons that you can fit in even on a short coffee or tea break. I love learning languages and wanted to learn Kannada for my work visits to Bangalore. This kind of material works best for me when I am just getting started and want to begin speaking quickly, but I couldn’t find anything like it. So, I created it. If you are visiting Bangalore or Karnataka, or if you have moved there from your native state or country, this course is perfect for you to learn some basic spoken Kannada. Many thanks to the native speakers who have helped teach me, shape these lessons, and provided their voices. Most of them are available to provide private lessons through iTalki. I highly recommend their services in addition to this podcast to help you on your language learning journey.

    Cardiac Cowboys

    The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
