are you an indian american? or some language scholar? I assume you are like me, a south indian diaspora who wasn't taught telugu by your parents.
my parents didn't teach me telugu either. I guess a combination of not having anyone else speaking the language around with no resources to teach it just made it impractical for them.
what makes you want to learn? Yes, the ancestral connection is one good reason, but compared to learning spanish or chinese or japanese I just don't see it as being very high on my list of priorities.
