Challenges of Learning Malayalam Alphabets and Words

In short, people are often confused about how to learn Malayalam easily.

Malayalam is a bit difficult compared to other South Indian languages. Many people find difficulty learning Malayalam when it comes to pronouncing or writing the alphabet and words. For Example, pronouncing the letter such as “ZHA”()in words like “Mazha” (Rain).The traditional way of teaching Malayalam also is one of the reasons of people’s fear about Malayalam. In the traditional way, people will be taught all the letters first. Then, the words, and then, the sentences, which looks like a lengthy process and boring. The first letter “A”() (The first letter in “Amma” – (അമ്മ)Mother) is one of the toughest letters in the language. So, people will be annoyed of learning writing and reading Malayalam from the day one itself. Another challenge is find a proper platform to learn. Even though, some of the platforms like YouTube channels exist, finding the interesting and useful one will be a tedious task.

HOW TO OVERCOME THE CHALLENGES

We teach Malayalam writing and reading in an interesting way. We start with the simplest letter in Malayalam, which is Ra (“Ra” in word “Thara”). Then, the other letters which are formed from the first learnt letter. In this way, the student will learn simple letters and the words formed by those letters. So, students would not be nervous in the first class itself, as seen in the traditional way of teaching. In the above manner, throughout the whole course, we teach words and sentences along with the letters. So, students could able to write and read simple sentences before completing half of the total session itself.

WHAT WE TEACH DURING THE COURSE

We teach vowels(“Swaraksharangal”) & consonants(“Vyanjanaksharangal”) together. This method helps children to write sentences within eight classes. We start with “easy to write” letters, followed by the words that are formed by the same letters.  Within the six sessions, we teach simple words without signs (‘Chinnangal”).

After five classes, we introduce the first few letters of vowels(“Swaraksharangal”) and their signs (“chinnangal”). It helps the student to from simple sentences. Within sixteen classes, they learn all the vowels(“Swaraksharangal”) with their signs(“chinnangal”) and half of the consonants (“Vyanjanaksharangal”). So, after competing sixteen classes, they write their own sentences.  After That, they learn the consonants(“Vyanjanaksharangal”) in order & compound letters(“koottaksharangal”) related to that consonants(“Vyanjanaksharangal”).  In the last sixteen classes, we also concentrate on reading and writing complex sentences.

By following the above method, after completing the course, student can read & write Malayalam fluently. They can read the short stories as given in the below link
