Description

The first question you might have in your mind is "why should I choose this course to learn Malayalam ?". The answer to this is as below.

1. Most of the people wants to learn Malayalam in order to:

a) Communicate with their loved ones who are native Malayalam speakers.

b) They belong to the Malayalam diaspora and wants to connect with their roots.

This course has been designed specially for all these people. You will learn about the culture, usage of certain words and most importantly, you will be able to use what you learnt while you are learning. You don't have to wait until you finish the whole course to start speaking in Malayalam. In fact, I would highly recommend that if possible to practice with a Malayalam native speaker while you do this course.

(Note: This course contains only spoken Malayalam. So, if you are looking to learn old Malayalam to read Malayalam literature or poems then this course is not for you.)

2. I have 12 years of experience in teaching Malayalam to people all around the world. I have trained more than 500 students to become fluent in Malayalam. This course has been created through all the experiences that I have gained over the years.

This course is created for those who doesn't want to learn any grammar and they want to learn Malayalam through absorption method just like a baby does by listening, visualizing and repeating the pronunciation and practicing them little by little. This course is also for those, who already knows Malayalam grammar and they want to improve their conversational skills in Malayalam.
