By the end

What you'll build

  • Greet, introduce yourself and address colleagues, seniors and customers using correct workplace honorifics (nīṅga and the -ṅga verb endings)
  • Take part in meetings — open a discussion, give an opinion, agree or disagree politely, ask for clarification and report progress
  • Make polite requests, grant or refuse them, and apologise professionally without causing offence
  • Handle customer-facing conversations, complaints, de-escalation and phone calls in polite service Tamil
  • Tell spoken workplace Tamil apart from formal written Tamil and switch between them deliberately
  • Write short professional WhatsApp messages and formal emails, including a leave request and a message to a client
  • Type Tamil on your own phone or keyboard for professional messages
  • Present a short structured status update aloud with clear openings, points and closings
  • Recognise and self-correct the common learner mistakes — over-familiar forms, wrong honorifics and spoken endings leaking into writing
  • Navigate Tamil-English code-switching etiquette in a real Chennai / Tamil Nadu workplace
