Detonator Posted January 16, 2014 Posted January 16, 2014 Read mainly.. anything else would be added advantage. guess there is a camera translator app in ios. not sure abt android. you could use that in meantime. for reading, u got to start from scratch. better go to some virtual lessons or full on coaching :giggle:

I6MTW Posted January 16, 2014 Posted January 16, 2014 So how is your tamil coming along? Have you started learning Tamil? If so, which stage are you in? IIRC, there is no rosetta Stone for Tamil. But there are some Tamil learning softwares available. You can check into it and buy them.
maniac Posted January 16, 2014 Posted January 16, 2014 Raghav dhoni is only an adopted son......writing a hate mail in Hindi or well of course in English will perfectly work :two_thumbs_up:
The Dark Horse Posted January 17, 2014 Posted January 17, 2014 Good to see that people want to learn the oldest language of the world :D Edit: See if this helps: http://tamilcube.com/tol/Tamil_online_introduction.html

beetle Posted January 18, 2014 Posted January 18, 2014 Raghav...do you understand Tamil? Sirf read kar ke kya hoga? Samajh bhi to aani chahiye?
Raghav_12 Posted January 18, 2014 Author Posted January 18, 2014 Raghav...do you understand Tamil? Sirf read kar ke kya hoga? Samajh bhi to aani chahiye? Beetle, I always thought reading means understanding what is written infront of you. :hmmm: Anyways, what I meant that I am not very keen on learning how to speak or to understand when somebody infront of me speaking in chaste தமிழ. என் requirement is to read some தமிழ documents. These are two different skills. நான always better in learning to read and write than to speak and listen.

IIRC, there is no rosetta Stone for Tamil. But there are some Tamil learning softwares available. You can check into it and buy them. Yes buddy. I did start learning and I am doing ok. Though completely bamboozled with plethora of different "n" sounding words in Tamil. Seems like half of their alphabet is made up of "n"s. :wall: so many n sounding alphabets.. ண ஞ ந ங ன
StriKe Posted January 18, 2014 Posted January 18, 2014 Yen? edhukku? enna aachu? Onum illa, Tamil rombha kastum...Ennakum tamil kum chinna vaisula irundhu agathu..
yoda Posted January 18, 2014 Posted January 18, 2014 Yes buddy. I did start learning and I am doing ok. Though completely bamboozled with plethora of different "n" sounding words in Tamil. Seems like half of their alphabet is made up of "n"s. :wall: so many n sounding alphabets.. ண ஞ ந ங ன Similar sounding alphabets were a challenge for me learning the language even though it is my mother tongue. I was never good at distinguishing between ண and ன. The other ones in your list are distinct. ந is typically used only at the beginning of a word. If elsewhere it will be with the dot 'பந்து' where it is pronounced as "ndh". ஞ is pronounced as Nya and ங as Nga. Other close and confusing ones are: 'ல', 'ள' - La 'ர', 'ற' - Ra
velu Posted January 18, 2014 Posted January 18, 2014 Tamil might be tough to learn but Malayalam is even tougher
nikred Posted January 18, 2014 Posted January 18, 2014 Beetle' date=' [b']I always thought reading means understanding what is written infront of you. :hmmm: Anyways, what I meant that I am not very keen on learning how to speak or to understand when somebody infront of me speaking in chaste தமிழ. என் requirement is to read some தமிழ documents. These are two different skills. நான always better in learning to read and write than to speak and listen. As a telugu guy, I can read most of what is written in Kannada. Of course, I can't make sense of what it means though. :P
I6MTW Posted January 19, 2014 Posted January 19, 2014 For me Hindi was relatively easy to learn. I learnt alphabets in half an hour. I was able to understand hindi in a month. I was able to read hindi within a week. I was able to write within a week as well. Now it's been almost 2 and a half years since I learnt pure hindi and I am able to speak basic Hindi and understand full India. I can even understand Urdu.
