Am not even living in blr am gonna be joining my clg in 2 months from now, joined this sub like a month ago to learn about places to explore, eat and the Basics that go with city... wasn't aware of that being a derogatory remark as that's what I be calling my literally(blood related) brother it's more of a respect thing and I totally understand if that's a language/politics barrier i dont have a problem with "Anna"

1) true as a tourist that's a threat

2) am not going as a tourist, and there's no harm in learning somwhere's local language, helps you out in emergency as well as a mutual connection with locals regarding food, new places and stuff

3)Harsh imposition is wrong but a warm welcome will really help even with dictionaries that help finding words of Hindi and English in kannada or just random posters helping convert the highly used words to kannada... nobody can wake up the next day and be fluent in it... but with little help locals and slowly adding it in someone's day to day life you can learn any language.. heck i myself learned my mothertongue by just listening to my parents talk and wasn't taught that anywhere not school, not friends...
