Foreword
This document contains the full text of the conversational audio lessons contained in the CD. Each
line is presented in three formats – Telugu font, Telugu in English transliteration, and English
meaning.
Transliteration scheme used in the document is presented on the next page. Initially, parents may
have to help their children get familiar with this scheme.
As the student listens to the CD, it would be beneficial to read along with this text.
Students need to bring this document to every class.
It is possible that there are a few errors in the CD or text; we’ll correct them as we find them.
This year, we also added some conversation practice lessons to this booklet. These additional lessons
will not be available in the Audio CD. They are intended for practice purposes. After the students
complete the audio lessons, they will be able to follow the conversation texts and practice them at
home or in the class with ease.

Live in a place where there are – people who lend you money (who helps you), doctors to
take care of your health and where there is abundant supply of water. Do not settle in a place

surrounded by good people who can help you.

Oh wise person! A dog is a dog – it does not change its old dirty habits even if you make her
occupy a golden throne on an auspicious day. Similarly, an evil person does not change his
attitude, no matter how much respect you give him. Essence of this padyam is “Old habbits
die hard”.
