Kannada practice topics and interpretation examples
Language rules for Kannada CCL
General Policy A covers regional differences in vocabulary and usage. Candidates need to understand regional variation within the language, and examiners make allowances for it when marking.
General Policy B permits limited use of English words when this is part of the language's norms and conventions and is regularly and commonly understood by its speakers in Australia. The policy allows such established borrowing even when an alternative word exists.

Details to check: dates, numbers and respectful address
These examples show specific mistakes to avoid in our practice material. They are not a ranking of candidate errors or extra NAATI rules. Keep the timing, amounts and social meaning of the original, including polite requests and forms of address.
Dates and times: retain yesterday evening and this morning
Example · Acute Infective Conjunctivitis in a Child · segment 2
ಡಾಕ್ಟರ್, ನಿನ್ನೆ ಸಂಜೆಯಿಂದ ಅವಳ ಬಲಗಣ್ಣು ಕೆಂಪಾಗಿ, ಜಿಗುಟಾದ ಹಳದಿ ಸ್ರಾವ ಬರುತ್ತಿದೆ. ಬೆಳಿಗ್ಗೆ ಎಚ್ಚರವಾದಾಗ ರೆಪ್ಪೆಗಳು ಅಂಟಿಕೊಂಡಿದ್ದವು.
Model answer
Doctor, since yesterday evening her right eye has been red and there's been a sticky yellow discharge. When she woke up this morning, her eyelids were stuck together.
Easy to miss: It is easy to drop 'right' (ಬಲ) or to mistranslate 'since yesterday evening' as just 'yesterday'.
Numbers and amounts: retain the amount and the number of failed switchboards
Example · Formal Complaint Against an Electrician · segment 2
ಮೇಡಂ, ನಾನು ಎಲೆಕ್ಟ್ರಿಷಿಯನ್ಗೆ ಆರುನೂರ ಐವತ್ತು ಡಾಲರ್ ಕೊಟ್ಟು ಮನೆಯ ಸಂಪೂರ್ಣ ವೈರಿಂಗ್ ಮಾಡಿಸಿದೆ, ಆದರೆ ಒಂದು ವಾರದೊಳಗೆ ಎರಡು ಸ್ವಿಚ್ ಬೋರ್ಡ್ಗಳು ಕೆಲಸ ಮಾಡುವುದನ್ನೇ ನಿಲ್ಲಿಸಿದವು.
Model answer
Madam, I paid the electrician six hundred and fifty dollars to rewire my entire house, but within a week two switchboards stopped working completely.
Easy to miss: Getting the amount wrong ($650, not $600 or $6,500) or rendering 'switchboards' as 'switches'.
Address and relationships: preserve the older-sister relationship
Example · Dietitian Consultation for Disordered Eating · segment 10
ಚೆನ್ನಾಗಿದೆ. ನಾನು ನನ್ನ ಅಕ್ಕನನ್ನು ಜೊತೆಗೆ ಕರೆದುಕೊಂಡು ಬರಬಹುದೇ?
Model answer
Great. Can I bring my older sister with me?
Easy to miss: ಅಕ್ಕ means older sister specifically; don't render it as just 'sister' or 'friend'.

GP
Let's take a proper look at your daughter's eyes today — when did you first notice the redness, swelling, and the discharge starting?
Parent
ಡಾಕ್ಟರ್, ನಿನ್ನೆ ಸಂಜೆಯಿಂದ ಅವಳ ಬಲಗಣ್ಣು ಕೆಂಪಾಗಿ, ಜಿಗುಟಾದ ಹಳದಿ ಸ್ರಾವ ಬರುತ್ತಿದೆ. ಬೆಳಿಗ್ಗೆ ಎಚ್ಚರವಾದಾಗ ರೆಪ್ಪೆಗಳು ಅಂಟಿಕೊಂಡಿದ್ದವು.
GP
This looks like acute infective conjunctivitis, most likely bacterial rather than viral. Her eye is red, swollen, and there's thick yellow discharge, especially noticeable after she wakes up.
Parent
ಇದು ಬೇಗ ಗುಣವಾಗುತ್ತದೆಯೇ? ಅವಳು ಶಾಲೆಗೆ ಹೋಗಬಹುದೇ, ಅಥವಾ ಮನೆಯಲ್ಲೇ ಇರಬೇಕೇ?

Questions people ask
Which variety of Kannada should I use in the CCL test?
NAATI's general policies apply: examiners allow for regional variation (Policy A), and English words that Kannada speakers in Australia regularly and commonly use are not penalised (Policy B). Excessive use of English is still one of NAATI's listed common mistakes.
How often is the Kannada CCL test held?
NAATI tests high-demand languages every month and the others at least 4 times a year, and bookings close 1 week before each session. As of 22 Oct 2026, 1:00 pm (Sydney time), NAATI lists 8 upcoming Kannada sessions, 8 of them with seats; the next one with seats is Tue 17 Nov 2026. The current list is at naaticcl.com/naati-ccl-test-dates/kannada: we check it every 2 hours, and NAATI updates its own list about once a day.
Is the NAATI CCL test available in Kannada?
Yes. Kannada is one of the languages NAATI tests for the CCL. Passing can support a claim for 5 points towards your skilled migration score. We currently publish 55 Kannada practice dialogues.
Do I need a NAATI CCL Kannada coaching class?
Not necessarily. naaticcl.com is a self-practice site, not a coaching class: you work through the 55 Kannada dialogues and 27 mock tests on your own, at exam speed, and the AI marks each segment for what you kept, left out, changed or added. A class adds a teacher who listens and corrects you; if you want one, see the Kannada CCL teachers and classes list on naaticcl.com. The score here is our estimate, not a NAATI result.
How many marks do I need to pass?
63 out of 90, and at least 29 on each of the two dialogues. Marks come off for information you leave out, add, or change, and for language quality. We mark against the same published categories; the score is our own model's estimate, not a NAATI result.
How much does the real Kannada CCL test cost?
AUD $814 (NAATI fees for 1 July 2026 – 30 June 2027), and you do not know the result until NAATI finalises it. That is the whole reason this site exists: know where you stand before you pay to sit it.
Can I wear headphones in the test?
No — no headsets, headphones or earphones of any kind. You use the computer's speakers and microphone. Older guides that tell you to wear wired headphones will get you caught out on the day. Only one screen is allowed at any time; your phone or tablet acts as the second camera.
Can I take notes?
Yes, with a pen and loose sheets of paper only. No typing of notes, and no electronic resources — dictionaries, web browsing, live captions or transcription — during the test.
What if I miss something — can I hear a segment again?
Yes. One repeated segment per dialogue is allowed without penalty. Further repeats incur mark deductions.
How long until I get my result, and how long is it valid?
NAATI's candidate instructions say results come by email within 4–6 weeks; they are issued individually as they are finalised, so two people who sat on the same day can hear back on different days. The result is valid for five years from the date of issue (three years if issued before 9 August 2022) and cannot be extended. You can apply to sit again six months before expiry, according to NAATI’s FAQ.
Is CCL still worth 5 migration points in Kannada?
Yes. Credentialed Community Language points remain in the 189, 190 and 491 points tests. CCL is not a professional interpreting credential — passing it does not qualify you to work as an interpreter.
