Where and how can I learn Chhattisgarhi?

I’ve recently moved to Chhattisgarh for good, and while I haven’t spent much time here in the past, I’ve come to realize that this is home now. I was born into a Sikh-Punjabi family, but my father had a deep love for this state. He completed his education here, and after retirement, he chose to return to Raipur because of his strong emotional connection with the place. His attachment has always stayed with me, and in many ways, I feel like embracing the local culture and language is my way of honoring that bond.

I’ve always had a flair for picking up languages, but over the years, as life and work took over, I lost touch. Now, I genuinely want to learn the local language of Chhattisgarh, not just to get by but to truly immerse myself in the culture and connect with the people here.

I’d love any recommendations on where and how I can learn it. Are there any classes, online resources, or even local communities that could help? Also, if you’ve learned the language as an outsider, I’d love to hear about your experience!

Looking forward to your suggestions and guidance.

Thanks in advance!
