Concise information about the course Kannada-I is found here, about the course Kannada-Lektüre is found here.
I advise all students to read the information about the use of computers. Instead of in one large file (as previously), the information is now divided in three (in German):

Computerressourcen an der LMU und Computerwahl |
|
|
E-Mail-Verkehr |
|
|
Textverarbeitung: Programme und Formate |
Students are advised to use Facebook, Twitter and other such so-called ‘social media’ with great caution.
