Are these real conversations?

Yes, written the way people speak rather than in textbook form, including short replies like sarē and idigōṇḍi.

How should I practise them?

Read one a day, aloud, three times: for meaning, for sound, then with the English covered.

Yes. Start with Meeting a Friend and Ordering Food, which use the simplest structures.

Telugu is subject-object-verb. It feels strange for two weeks, then it becomes automatic.
