Real Telugu (తెలుగు) CCL practice you can't get anywhere else — human-authored dialogues, native audio, scored on NAATI's real model.
A coached, step-by-step path through all 12 domains — a plain-English briefing before each module, the points examiners reward, and every dialogue scored as you go. Included with Full Access.
A 24/7 AI study coach for paid members — ask any CCL question, get a personalised plan and tips, with your chat saved to your account. Dialogues are still scored against the real NAATI model, not an AI guess.
Authentic two-speaker dialogues in Telugu and English, matching real CCL exam style, length, and topic coverage.
Scored instantly against the NAATI deduction model — omissions, meaning errors, and register issues all flagged with explanations.
Score history, daily streak, and module-by-module improvement so you always know where to focus next.
Built-in notepad on every segment — just like the real exam. Jot keywords while listening, then interpret confidently.
See the model interpretation for every segment after submitting — compare yours side-by-side to learn from each attempt.
Full-length timed mock test — two dialogues, real pressure, real feedback. Simulate exam day before exam day.
Choose from 12 domains — Healthcare, Legal, Immigration, Banking, and more. Each has multiple Telugu dialogues.
Hear each segment. Use the built-in notepad to jot keywords before the chime — just like the real exam.
Type or speak your Telugu–English interpretation. Submit the full dialogue when you're done.
Your attempt is scored, flags every error, and shows model answers segment by segment. Track progress over time.
Healthcare is the most common CCL domain. Learn medical terms (diagnosis, prescription, referral, physiotherapy) in both languages. Practice saying medication names and dosages clearly.
Numbers, dates, and amounts carry the heaviest deductions. When you hear '3 tablets twice daily' or '$450 bond,' write it on your notepad immediately before interpreting.
A formal doctor should sound formal in your Telugu interpretation. A worried parent should sound worried. Register mismatch is a common error that costs marks.
NAATI marks delivery speed. If you hesitate for more than 5 seconds after the chime, you lose delivery marks. Use the practice sessions to build confidence starting quickly.
The real exam allows note-taking. Practise using NAATI Practice's built-in note pad (available on every segment) to jot keywords before you interpret.
Health, legal, immigration, education, financial, housing, social services, consumer affairs, employment, insurance, business and community. Not a handful of samples — the full range you could be tested on.
Every attempt is marked the way NAATI marks: accuracy out of 27, quality of language out of 11, delivery out of 7, pass at 29/45. Omissions, distortions and missing numbers are penalised the way the examiners penalise them.
Scoring runs on your own device, so it costs us nothing — which means we never have to meter it. Practise a dialogue thirty times if you want. A$49 once. No subscription, ever.

The NAATI CCL (Credentialed Community Language) Telugu test assesses your ability to interpret dialogues between Telugu and English in real-world settings. A passing score (63/90) awards 5 points towards an Australian permanent residency visa under the General Skilled Migration program.
The CCL exam is challenging — you need to score at least 63 out of 90 across two dialogues. Common errors include omissions, meaning distortions, and incorrect register. Consistent practice across all 12 topic domains significantly improves your score.
The exam includes two dialogues, each with 9–11 short segments. Each segment is worth up to 5 points with deductions for errors. The total exam time is approximately 35 minutes.
Yes. NAATI Practice offers a free trial with 2 topic modules and 1 attempt per dialogue — no sign-up or credit card required. Paid plans unlock all 12 domains and unlimited attempts.
Topics include Healthcare, Legal & Police, Immigration, Banking & Finance, Education, Housing, Employment, Social Services, Community, Family, Emergency Services, and Mental Health — all covered in our practice library.
The exam uses standard formal Telugu, the register used in news and official contexts. Avoid heavy regional slang and avoid Tenglish (Telugu–English mixing) in your interpretations. NAATI examiners expect formal register.
No. Tenglish (code-switching between Telugu and English) is penalised. You must interpret fully into the target language — if interpreting from English to Telugu, your response should be Standard Telugu throughout, not a mixture.
Very important. NAATI CCL scoring deducts heavily for incorrect numbers, dates, medication dosages, monetary amounts, and addresses. Practise listening for these specifically and always reproduce them exactly — Telugu number words (okati, rendu, moodu…) must match the source exactly.
Most candidates benefit from 4–8 weeks of daily practice covering all 12 topic domains. A common strategy is to attempt 2–3 dialogues daily, review model answers, and run at least 2 full mock tests in the week before the exam.
You need a combined score of 63/90 across the two exam dialogues. Each dialogue is marked out of 45. A score of 29/45 is the minimum per-dialogue threshold to avoid a complete fail on that dialogue alone.
We have 80 Telugu dialogues across all 12 NAATI domains, each with a model answer and pre-recorded audio, and unlimited attempts.
Using the formal written register (grandhika) instead of spoken Telugu (vyavaharika). The CCL is a conversation between two people in a real setting — a clinic, a Centrelink office — and literary Telugu is the wrong register and slower to deliver.
This is a real segment from our Health module — one of 80 Telugu dialogues across all 12 NAATI domains. The speaker talks, you interpret, and your rendition is compared against the model answer below, segment by segment.
“Good morning. I have your blood test results back and I need to discuss them with you today.”
శుభోదయం. మీ రక్త పరీక్ష ఫలితాలు వచ్చాయి, వాటి గురించి మీతో మాట్లాడాలని ఉంది.
Miss the diagnosis, drop the figure, or paraphrase it away and the deduction model marks it — the same way a NAATI examiner would.
These are Telugu-specific. They are not the generic advice you will find on every CCL site — they are the errors that show up when Telugu speakers interpret under time pressure.
Telugu has a sharp split between the formal written register and everyday speech. The CCL is a conversation between two people — use వ్యావహారిక, the spoken form. Formal literary Telugu sounds wrong in a GP’s office and eats your clock.
మీరు, always, when interpreting a doctor, officer or landlord.
Medicare, Centrelink, bond, lease — keep them. Real Telugu-speaking families do.
Convert carefully and say the figure back in full. Number errors are the heaviest single deduction in the marking scheme.
