How do I learn Tamil taking one alphabet a day?

 Just as you learn any other language.

Write down the alphabets about only one page a day.,learn the vowels first then move on to the consonants.

1.Write down what you learnt the previous day along with what you learn today. Then repeat the process writing down what you learnt on day 1 ,2,3 and so on.

Examples

Vowels

அ

ஆ

இ

2.When you move on to the consonants, start writing the vowels first and add consonants one by one.

Consonants

த்

ம்

ழ்

3.Now combine both the consonants and the vowels like a simple mathematical addition. The result is you have learnt the consonantal vowels.

த்+அ=த ………….(th+a=tha)

ம்+இ=மி……………..(m+i=mi)

ழ்+ஆ=ழா……………..(l+a= la) pronunciation is special for the letter L)

Thamila means one who is Tamil.( by birth, origin, native or an ardent lover of Tamil)

And then, there you are, you already know Tamil.

And pass into the world eternal.

After all everyone has a right to their privacy . In India there is a tradition which we follow : we do not ask curious questions like where you are going and it has been inculcated from childhood that we should not ask as it is considered inauspicious to ask anyone where he is going. Sometimes we have to teach good manners this way On the basis of religion, culture ,tradition and heritage. That way the Hinduism has laid a very strong foundation. When is it appropriate to ask this question where are you going? The person going should inform the other person who is at home or in the office or wherever on his own so he is expected to inform/ tell I am going to..
