Hey everyone, I'm from Indore (MP) and planning to join Apollo University (Chittoor, AP) for BPT (Bachelor of Physiotherapy).

I only know Hindi and English. Since Physiotherapy is all about talking to patients and explaining exercises, I’m worried about the Telugu barrier.

I'm willing to learn, but realistically, how long does it take to learn "Medical Telugu" (basic phrases to interact with patients)? Is it possible to manage with just English/Hindi in a place like Chittoor?

If there are any North Indians who studied BPT/MBBS in the South, please share your experience. Did it affect your clinical learning?

Thanks in advance!
