A speaking review with a countdown: you hear the English, you get three seconds, and you say the Malayalam out loud. This review consolidates the practical Malayalam of daily life in nine sections: the morning and the house, the kitchen and the table, the road, the shop, numbers and days, the body and feelings, small talk, the repair kit, and a few culture questions. Keep your mouth moving through every countdown, including the one where the whole morning is chained into a single sentence. Words and phrases in this class: ഞാൻ രാവിലെ ആറു മണിക്ക് എഴുന്നേറ്റു (njaan raavile aaru manikku ezhunnettu) – I got up at six in the morning ഞാൻ സഹായിക്കട്ടെ?
