vAnga Thamizh padikkalAm

Hello everyone,

Greetings to you all.

I am very happy to present to you, my “Let’s Learn to Read Thamizh” Course.

I hope this would benefit many of our children who can understand and speak Tamil but have a problem with reading it.

No doubt, there are plenty of Youtube videos and some good Apps for learning Tamil. One might wonder what is the need for yet another effort in that direction.

I intend to follow an unconventional path, focusing on READING of Tamil, to flatten the learning curve for our children.

Learning Tamil with the correct pronunciation is very important. I will try my best to help you achieve that goal. However, a document has its limitations. I request the parents to sit with their children and guide them.

New lessons would be added every weekend. Lessons would be available for download, as PDF files. You can find the download buttons as you scroll down.

My sincere thanks to all my friends who encouraged and motivated me to embark on this mission.

Happy Learning,

With best wishes,
K. P. Sundararajan
