How to learn Kannada

As a result of globalization Bangalore is growing rapidly from past few years, this has made many people migrate to Bangalore.
Today you can see lot of migrants in Bangalore from all over India & also other countries too, these migrants many times love to learn local language (Kannada) but due to many reasons like lack of time, Intrest, tutors etc fails to learn. Many a times people asks How to learn Kannada ?
