Specially written by experienced teachers for self-study or class use, the course offers a step-by-step approach to spoken Tamil. While emphasis is placed on colloquial spoken Tamil, you are given a useful introduction to formal speech and the written language as well.

  • Emphasis on authentic conversational language



  • clear explanations on how to pronounce and write the language



  • helpful grammar notes and reference grammar



  • comprehensive vocabulary lists (Tamil-English and English-Tamil)



  • lively illustrations and fascinating cultural insights throughout.



By the end of this rewarding course, you will be able to communicate confidently and effectively in Tamil in a broad range of everyday situations.

Review
Surpasses many of the previous publications not only in terms of the composition of the text but also in the systematic presentation of the text on two tapes and on two CDs. - Archiv Orientálni. Quarterly Journal of African and Asian Studies, vol. 72


Customer Reviews

not good for anything1
this is terrible and doesnt really tech you anything except words that sound similar but are different... not really usefull at any skill level

Colloquial does not equate to "Conversational"1
I got this CD to learn how to SPEAK Tamil. I did not find this CD that user friendly. If anything, I would compare it to taking a college level Tamil course, when one really just needs a Berlitz immersion course.

A great gift fro a fellow in need4
These books are not available Seoul, Korea, and so this was a gift. To a lingist and friend who expressed interest in Tamil. Eaxactly right for that kind of person.
