Tips to learn Tamil
D Samuel, Assistant Professor in charge, Department of Tamil, Madras Christian College suggests starting from learning the vowels and consonants.
“It is important to learn to read basic Tamil that will help them read signboards,” says Samuel. “We then introduce them to names of places, salutations and relationship vocabulary that students could use in their daily interactions”.
Samuel suggests:
Start with simple phrases and expressions:
Vannakkam (greetings)
Eppadi irukkeenga? (how are you?)
Nandri (thank you)
Unga peru enna? (what is your name?) etc.
Learn the 5Ws and 1H:

How – Eppadi

In case of spoken Tamil, start learning all the basic greetings and phrases first. Then get perfection upon the individual aspects of the language such as pronouns, question words, adjectives, verbs, tenses, clock, etc. Go ahead for the mock conversations. For the best results, join spoken Tamil classes where you'll learn everything slowly and effectively.
