A language is best learned to speak if we grow up in that language or
live around people who speak it. But to read and write, a good training
material is enough for eg. the good old 'Balaji Publications'. I could
vouch for that - I don't even remember the method that was used in it
but surprised that I still remember the Telugu I learned through that.
Thanks to my dad who had almost the whole series in his little library.
A couple of weeks back, during a casual conversation about languages, when a Telugu friend mentioned he knew Tamil but has forgotten now, I immediately offered to bring him my son's elementary Tamil books to refresh. But then on a serious thought, how could that help unless some body reads it or there is transliteration in a language more familiar to them?
Hence, decided to make this video of the Tamil alphabet with transliteration in Telugu and also English. Have also included a beautiful song by Mrs. Vani Jeyaram which is like an add-on pronunciation tutorial having the Tamil alphabet as its lyrics. The song is from the movie 'Kaanchi Kaamaachi'.
Hope you like it !
