Week one — Arrival
The story is the syllabus.
Fourteen chapters get you from the airport to the day family prep begins. You do not study a topic and then look for a use for it. You walk into a situation and need the words.

Landing
Rahul meets Varun outside the airport and makes the pact that starts everything: from today, only Telugu between us. You learn to say who you are.
I am Varun.
Nenu Varun.

First auto
Basha's auto, a fare to argue about, and a destination to name. Where, how much, stop here — the first Telugu that has to work on the first try.
How much to Ameerpet?
Ameerpet ki entha?

Chai at Raju's
Raju pours, asks what you want, and waits. This is where you meet the pattern you will reuse for the next sixty days.
I want tea.
Naaku chai kaavaali.

Salma's market
Numbers, prices, and the small ritual of bargaining. Salma is kind, but she is not going to slow down for you.
That is too much.
Chaala ekkuva.

Niharika calls
The week-one test. Niharika video-calls and everything you learned has to come back at once — plus one stranger you have never met.
What are you doing?
Em chestunnavu?
Week two — Making it yours
The same people, harder conversations.
You already know Basha and Raju. Now they expect more of you — and so does everyone else.

Tiffin at Venu's
Breakfast, ordered properly. Venu is proud of the dosas and will absolutely notice if you order like a tourist.
One dosa, please.
Oka dosa ivvandi.

Office pantry
Divya asks what you are up to; Joshua is one lesson behind you and delighted about it. Small talk is a skill and this is where you get it.
I like it.
Naaku nachindi.

Evening at Raju's
Rahul, a second chai, and the whole vocabulary of agreeing, disagreeing, and hedging. Yes, no, maybe, it's fine.
It's fine.
Parledu.

Niharika visits
The first full-Telugu date. It goes better than it should — and then she mentions her parents. The clock starts.
Shall we go?
Veldhama?

The errand gauntlet
Three strangers, three errands, no rehearsal. Rahul watches. Then he tells you family prep starts now.
Then, the long game
Day 30, her parents. Day 60, Bamma — who speaks no English, and whose word is the one that counts.
Sixty chapters, sixty days of Varun’s life. One a day finishes the story on time. Slower is never punished — day 14 means your day 14.
