Spoken Tamil Essentials - Level 1

10 Weeks · Online · Small Group

Ready to Start Your Tamil Speaking Journey?

If you want to start speaking Tamil confidently, you have to stop relying on English.

As a beginner, when you read something like "enna seiringal," you will naturally default to using English sounds and mouth movements.

The best way to speak Tamil fluently is to learn the Tamil script, because the letters represent sounds unique to Tamil that don't exist in English.

The problem? Traditional Tamil classes leave out the explanations needed for second-language learners. They skip over the differences between written and spoken Tamil, dialect variations, and (my personal favourite) the Tamil philosophies embedded in basic grammar. This leaves learners confused and frustrated.

That's why I created Spoken Tamil Essentials.

After tutoring students and consulting with Tamil professors around the world, I've designed this 10-week course to build a strong foundation in spoken Tamil in a clear, structured setting that actually makes sense.

What You'll Learn

Over 10 weeks, we'll cover:

The Tamil alphabet and its sounds
Retroflex sounds and commonly mispronounced sounds
Singular and plural forms
Adjectives, adverbs, and pronouns
Building short sentences with confidence
Differences between written and spoken Tamil
Understanding dialect variations
Tamil philosophies and worldview embedded within the language

Who This Course Is For

This introductory course is perfect for anyone looking to build a strong foundation in Tamil - whether you're starting from scratch, want to deepen your existing knowledge, or are preparing to continue to the next level. Please note your instructor speaks Eelam (Sri Lankan) Tamil, however dialect variations will be highlighted when applicable.
