750 million adults cannot read in any language.

"How old were you when you first started reading?"

When I was young, I had some tutoring in Telugu script, English, and mathematics. When I grew older, I had other responsibilities: caring for family, the house, all sorts of tasks. We had to share our reading material, so I sacrificed my learning for my siblings.

"Have you ever wanted to learn to read?"

Yes! I have wanted to learn for a long time, though it is more difficult for me now.

"What happens when you need to read something?"

Often somebody else is with me. But more and more of what I see is in English rather than Telugu, and so it is getting more difficult to understand. I am forced to wait or ask someone else.

"Do you use a phone?"

Yes. I use it with other people's help.
