By the end
What you'll build
- Speak in the present, past and future using natural spoken Chennai Tamil verb endings.
- Ask yes/no and WH-questions the way people actually ask them (the -ஆ suffix; enna / enga / yāru / eppō).
- Say "no" correctly — equational illa, negative verbs (-ல / -மாட்டு), and vēṇām / teriyādhu / muḍiyādhu.
- Handle everyday small talk: greetings, "how are you", "what's up", and goodbyes.
- Choose the right politeness level — நீ vs நீங்க and the -ங்க request softener.
- Recognise where spoken Tamil differs from the written/formal form, and know which to use when.
- Hold a basic phone conversation: answer, identify yourself, ask someone to hold, and deal with bad network.
- Build your own sentences with correct Tamil word order (Subject–Object–Verb) and person agreement.
- Understand short, natural-speed spoken dialogues on familiar everyday topics.
- Read and match common conversational words in Tamil script.
