Konkani Kards
Congratulations on taking a step on your Konkani learning journey!
These flashcards are a tool to improve your comprehension, as well as your spoken Konkani skills. They include more than 200 words and phrases, in 4 categories:
Konkani is not a homogeneous language. It varies by village and by region. This application features the Bardez dialect, words, and pronunciations.
We recommend exploring them in this order, keeping the Conversation deck for last!
Used in conjunction with other learning strategies — reading the local newspaper, chatting with your neighbours, visiting a local market — they are a stepping stone on your path towards becoming part of the local community, and creating new relationships.
What started as a personal learning tool turned into a passion project to learn, share, and spread the love of Konkani — the local language of Goa. The cards were beautifully designed by Sanmadi K.R. The translations and pronunciation underwent a long process with the kind and patient help of Berta Monserrate.
