Course Description

Have you ever wanted to learn Tamil? As one of the oldest classical languages in the world, Tamil is spoken by over 70 million people. But why should you pick Tamil out of all the languages you could be learning?

To start, Tamil is the official language of Tamil Nadu, India’s fourth largest state, which has seen significant economic growth and foreign investment over the last decade. The state is a leading figure in several industries, such as automobile and auto-components, engineering, pharmaceuticals and others. Learning Tamil will not only help you out as a tourist in India, but also as a rising professional looking to expand or diversify your business in this booming global market. Secondly, it’s well-proven that learning another language can lead to many new career opportunities, whether that’s becoming a more attractive candidate, or qualifying for a promotion at your current position.

Now, the road to learning Tamil isn’t always going to be easy, of course. That’s exactly why we’ve put together this comprehensive guide to Beginner Tamil.

In this course, we’re going to take you through the first steps of your Tamil journey, from absolute beginner to an intermediate level. Our lessons will cover everything, from teaching you how to pronounce the words correctly, to conjugating verbs and forming sentences to express yourself and describe the world around you.

During our course, you will learn:

  • Lots and lots of vocabulary

  • Useful everyday phrases

  • Basic sentence structures

  • Basic grammar rules most beginner courses don’t teach

After taking this course you will be able to:

  • Greet people and introduce yourself both formally and casually

  • Learn how to count up to 1000

  • Read a restaurant menu

  • Order food and drinks

  • Give and receive directions

  • Describe yourself and other people in both personality and appearance

  • Tell the time

  • Make requests, describe what you want and what you plan to do

  • Express your feelings, your interests and dislikes

  • Navigate multiple types of everyday situations, like shopping

sentence construction not explained better also tense past present future, negative sentences not explained

By Madeline Kellogg on 11/14/2023

Excellent course for a beginner with no experience or exposure to the Tamizh language. Nanri, for creating this course! It is incredibly helpful and your enunciation and conversational segments are wonderful for speech practice. Some improvements could be giving some background/history of the Tamizh language and different regional differences within Tamil Nadu (further peaks students interests and grabs their attention), and the importance of the Tamizh language within cultural context (such as respect when speaking with elders, colleagues, and friends).

More illustrations, photos, videos. Need notes. Tricks, music, and other such aids to learn could be added.

Excellent easy to follow and gives me the breakdown to put into sentences.

By James S. White on 3/9/2023

The lessons include Tamil script, English, and the English transliteration of the Tamil script. The instructor notes to pay close attention to the spoken Tamil as the transliteration will not necessarily be able to capture the exact pronunciation or stress. The lesson is based around sample dialogues that should prove useful to new learners.

By Frances Jean Darwin on 2/14/2023

I've taken the first lesson so far and I've found it a much easier pace than learning from locals here in Tamil Nadu (which has given me some familiarity, but the language is hard to pick up because locals speak so fast!) I think this course will be very beneficial for understanding the basics and reinforcing conversational Tamil. Looking forward to the rest!

By Sarjana Mohanty on 10/5/2022

The course definitely exceeded my expectations. After the first lesson ,however, I just found it hard to believe that I can speak fluent Tamil at this rate. So I just hope all goes well!

By Steffanie Sylverstone on 3/20/2022

Made the beginning very easy. Tamil always seemed intimidating, but this was perfect.

By Verónica on 2/18/2022

Para quien se interese en las lenguas antiguas y sagradas, éste es un curso genial y completo!
